We prove the Rankin-Selberg convolution of two cuspidal automorphic representations are automorphic whenever one of them arises from an irreducible representation of an abelian-by-nilpotent Galois extension, which extends the previous result of Arthur-Clozel. Moreover, if one of such representations is of dimension at most 3 and another representation arises from a nearly nilpotent extension or...

Zagier introduced toroidal automorphic forms to study the zeros of zeta functions: an automorphic form on GL2 is toroidal if all its right translates integrate to zero over all nonsplit tori in GL2, and an Eisenstein series is toroidal if its weight is a zero of the zeta function of the corresponding field. We compute the space of such forms for the global function fields of class number one an...

We prove a variety of results on the existence of automorphic Galois representations lifting a residual automorphic Galois representation. We prove a result on the structure of deformation rings of local Galois representations, and deduce from this and the method of Khare and Wintenberger a result on the existence of modular lifts of specified type for Galois representations corresponding to Hi...

Let L(s, π) be the principal L-function attached to an irreducible unitary cuspidal automorphic representation π of GLm(AQ). The aim of the paper is to give a simple method to show the lower bounds of mean value for automorphic L-functions over short intervals.

In this paper we prove a version of Deligne’s conjecture for potentially automorphic motives, twisted by certain algebraic Hecke characters. The Hecke characters are chosen in such a way that we can use automorphic methods in the context of totally definite unitary groups.

Based on Furusawa’s theory [7], we present an integral representation for the L-function L(s, π× τ), where π is a cuspidal automorphic representation on GSp4 related to a holomorphic Siegel modular form, and where τ is an arbitrary cuspidal automorphic representation on GL2. As an application, a special value result for this L-function in the spirit of Deligne’s conjecture is proved.

In this paper, we study the period map of a certain one-parameter family of quartic K3 surfaces with an S5-action. We construct automorphic forms on the period domain as the pull-backs of theta constants of genus 2 by a modular embedding. Using these automorphic forms, we give an explicit presentation of the inverse period map.

The automorphic A-chromatic index of a graph Γ is the minimum integer m for which Γ has a proper edge-coloring with m colors which is preserved by a given subgroup A of the full automorphism group of Γ. We compute the automorphic A-chromatic index of each generalized Petersen graph when A is the full automorphism group.
