Automorphic forms. (Notes by Roberto Miatello)

From MaRDI portal





[For the entire collection see Zbl 0754.00024.] This paper is a nicely written transcription of lectures given by the author whose purpose is to provide an accessible introduction to the theory of automorphic forms on reductive algebraic groups. The topics are initiated and illustrated by the case of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\). The author begins with the classical \(\eta\)- and \(\theta\)-functions and Eisenstein series and proceeds through the notion of classical (holomorphic) automorphic forms on \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})\) to that which generalizes to a \(\Gamma\)-automorphic form on a reductive group. Continuing toward the description of the automorphic decomposition of \(L^ 2(\Gamma\setminus G)\), the general definitions and fundamental significance of Eisenstein series, cusp forms and the constant term, are discussed along the lines of Langlands' work on Eisenstein series and the continuous spectrum.
