Vol. I (Springer 1989) of these Collected papers was reviewed in Zbl 0675.10001. Vol. II under review contains several articles which over the years had remained unpublished but whose content formed (at least part of) the subject of lectures which were given by the author at various times and various places. Bearing in mind the author's well-known highly condensed style it would be a hopeless enterprise to try to collect the contents of the present volume in the nutshell of a brief review. Hence we must restrict to some rough indications. The work under review contains four articles of quite different size; following the numbering of vol. I these bear the numbers 42--45. No. 42. \textit{Linear operators and automorphic forms} (pp. 1--13). Let \(G\) be the group of analytic mappings of a bounded symmetric complex domain \(B\) onto itself. The author studies linear operators on functions defined on \(B\) which have the property of transforming with a multiplier on each side under the maps of \(G\). The problem is, for which \(B\) and which multipliers do such operators exist and how to determine them explicitly. This problem is solved by means of the known classification of irreducible bounded domains and by means of Koecher's theory of homogeneous positivity domains. No. 43. \textit{Remarks on the distribution of poles of Eisenstein series} (pp. 15--45). Let \(\Gamma <\text{PSL}_ 2({\mathbb R})\) be a cofinite discrete group and \(\chi\) a one-dimensional unitary representation on \(\Gamma\) with \(\kappa_ 1>0\) singular cusps. As is well known the number \(N_{\chi}(T)\) of eigenvalues \(<1/4+T^ 2\) of the hyperbolic Laplacian has an asymptotic law which involves the variation of the argument of the determinant \(\phi (s,\chi)\) of the scattering matrix. This contribution is notoriously difficult to handle. The problem of estimating the contribution of \(\phi (s,\chi)\) is essentially equivalent to the problem of estimating the number of zeros \(\rho =\beta +i\gamma\) of \(\phi (s,\chi)\) in the region \(\beta\geq 1/2\), \(0\leq \gamma \leq T\), and the article under review gives a notable contribution to this problem which witnesses to the author's consummate mastership of the analytic machinery in the area of zeta functions. The author states a conjecture to the effect that the congruence subgroups of the modular group have the largest discrete spectrum (given \(\mu (\Gamma\setminus H)\) and \(\kappa_ 1\)). No. 44. \textit{Old and new conjectures and results about a class of Dirichlet series} (pp. 47--63). These are notes of lectures presented at the Amalfi Conference on Number Theory, 1989. The paper deals with investigating the distribution of the values of \(\log F(s)\) near the critical line for a class of Dirichlet series with functional equation and with the asymptotic behaviour of various sums associated with the coefficients of such Dirichlet series. There are various stimulating conjectures (which are related to several other conjectures like the Sato-Tate conjecture, Langlands conjectures, Riemann conjecture \dots). In addition, there are results and conjectures on the zeros of \(F(s)-a\) for \(a\neq 0\), and the case of a linear combination \(F(s)\) of Dirichlet series with functional equation and Euler product receives special attention. Concluding remark of the author: ``A more complete account with proofs is under preparation and will in time appear elsewhere. No. 45. \textit{Lectures on sieves} (pp. 65--247). This article of book-length develops the general theory for variable than just constant sifting density. The author gives a full account of his theory of the (Brun-) Buchstab-Rosser sieve. (The results are of course in agreement with those independently found by H. Iwaniec.) In addition, there are more details on the \(\Lambda^ 2\)-sieve and the \(\Lambda^ 2\Lambda^-\)-sieve. The author gives some illuminating historical digressions and comments on important examples. There are beautiful applications, e.g. (p. 232) \[ \pi (x+y)-\pi (x)<\frac{2y}{\log y+2,8} \] for \(y>x_ 0\) and all \(x>0\) (Brun-Titchmarsh), and an ``early approach to the twin prime and Goldbach problem is described. The article under review is a comprehensive account of work which was surveyed by the author on various earlier occasions (see e.g. Vol. I, No. 40; Zbl 0675.10030). This volume by one of the master mathematicians of our time may well prove to be a gold mine of inspiration for future research.
