چکیده

The Langlands Functoriality Conjecture is the number theorist’s “grand unified theory". It describes and elucidates the platonic realm of modular forms, L-functions, and motives—a world arguably no less real, in its richness, than the physicist’s universe of elusive particles and far-flung galaxies. The timely volume under review (referred to henceforth as CKM) is made up of three distinct contributions of about 100 pages each:

Lectures on automorphic L-functions

PREFACE This article follows the format of five lectures that we gave on automorphic Lfunctions. The lectures were intended to be a brief introduction for number theorists to some of the main ideas in the subject. Three of the lectures concerned the general properties of automorphic L-functions, with particular reference to questions of spectral decomposition. We have grouped these together as ...

On tensor product $L$-functions and Langlands functoriality

‎In the spirit of the Langlands proposal on  Beyond Endoscopy ‎we discuss the explicit relation between the Langlands functorial transfers and automorphic $L$-functions‎. ‎It is well-known that the poles of the $L$-functions have deep impact to the Langlands functoriality‎. ‎Our discussion also‎ ‎includes the meaning of the central value of the tensor product $L$-functions in terms of the Langl...

Applications of Langlands’ Functorial Lift of Odd Orthogonal Groups

Together with Cogdell, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shahidi, we proved earlier the existence of a weak functorial lift of a generic cuspidal representation of SO2n+1 to GL2n. Recently, Ginzburg, Rallis and Soudry obtained a more precise form of the lift using their integral representation technique, namely, the lift is an isobaric sum of cuspidal representations of GLni (more precisely, cuspidal repre...

L - Series and Transcendental Numbers

This paper is a survey of some recent work of mine done jointly with V. Kumar Murty, N. Saradha, S. Gun and P. Rath. In all of these works, the motivating question is the following. Given an automorphic representation π , we consider the L-series L(s, π) attached to π according to the Langlands formalism. We are interested in the possible transcendence of special values L(k, π) when k is a posi...

Transfer of Siegel Cusp Forms of Degree 2

Let π be the automorphic representation of GSp4(A) generated by a full level cuspidal Siegel eigenform that is not a Saito-Kurokawa lift, and τ be an arbitrary cuspidal, automorphic representation of GL2(A). Using Furusawa’s integral representation for GSp4 ×GL2 combined with a pullback formula involving the unitary group GU(3, 3), we prove that the L-functions L(s, π× τ ) are “nice”. The conve...
