Recall that by theorems of Deligne and Deligne--Serre, there is the following dichotomy:
Modular forms on the upper half plane of level $N$ and weight $k\geq 2$ correspond to representations $\rho:\...

Characterizing the real analytic Eisenstein series
Consider the classical real analytic Eisenstein series
$$
E(z,s)=\left(\pi^{-s}\Gamma(s)\frac{1}{2}\right)\sum_{(m,n)\neq(0,0)}\frac{y^s}{|mz+n|^{2s}},
$$
where $z=x+iy$. We think of $E(z,s)$ as a ...
