An automorphic form is a well-behaved function from a topological group $G$ to the complex numbers (or complex vector space) which is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \subset G$ of the topological group. Automorphic forms are a generalization of the idea of periodic functions in Euclidean space to general topological groups.

What motivations for automorphic forms?

Automorphic forms are ubiquitous in modern number theory and stands as a mysterious Graal lying at the intersection of many fields, if not building valuable bridges between them. However, since this a …

What computer program for automorphic forms

This question has its origins in this entertaining discussion on MO. There are many programs (CAS) and libraries that are able to handle algebraic expressions. These are both a verification tool for …

Bound for $GL(3)$ symmetric square

Let $\pi$ be an automorphic representation of $GL(3)$ over a number field. Let $a_n$ be the coefficients of $L(s, \pi, \mathrm{sym}^2)$. Do we know if $$\sum_{n>0} \frac{|a_n|}{n^s}$$ and $$\sum_{n>0} …

Automorphic quotients for inner forms or $GSp(4)$

For a quaternion algebra $D$, introduce the quaternionic similitude unitary groups: \begin{equation} \mathrm{GU}_D = \left\{ g \in \mathrm{GL}(D) \ : \ g^\star \left( \begin{array}{cc} & 1 \\ 1 & \en …

Fourier Transforms of Convolutions

Straightforward computations lead to the following standard property of Fourier transformation: it transforms convolutions into products, i.e. for functions $f$ and $g$ Schwartz class we have $$\wideh …

Relation between Fourier coefficients and Satake parameters

Let $L(s)$ be an automorphic L-function (attached to a self contragredient automorphic representation on $GL(3)$), according to the following notations for $s$ of sufficiently large real part: $$L(s) …

Relation between $\xi$-cohomological and discrete series

Sometimes, results on automorphic representations are available only under local assumptions. Typically, one could require the representation to be a $\xi$-cohomological cuspidal representation, and I …

Why and how is a representation "continuously decomposable"?

What I am asking may apply to a much more general setting and I am interested in the underlying level of generality of these statements, mostly with canonical references. However I state the question …

Formal degree of discrete series representations

Let $G$ be a locally compact unimodular group. A continuous irreducible unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$ is said to be a discrete series if its matrix coefficients (defined by $\xi^\pi_{v,w} : g \m …

How strong is the requirement of being a Gelbart-Jacquet lift?

Let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}(3)$ over a number field $F$. I am wondering how general are Gelbart-Jacquet lifts of automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}(2)$ …

Equivalence between Ramanujan and Selberg conjectures

At first the Ramanujan conjecture for automorphic forms and the Selberg conjecture appear to be understood as totally independent. However, they are now known to be tighyly connected once viewed in th …

Average bounds on Rankin-Selberg coefficients for modular forms

Let $f$ be a cuspidal Hecke newform of weight $k$ and level $N$, and denote by $a_f(n)$ its $n$-th Fourier coefficient. The newform $f$ is normalized so that $a_f(1) = 1$. As a consequence of Rankin-S …

On the consistency of the definition of the conductor for automorphic forms

Let $\pi$ be an irreducible admissible representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(F)$, where $F$ is local non-archimedean. The local conductor associated to $\pi$ can be defined in two usual manners: By its ass …

I would like to understand in a more explicit way the Fell topology on unitary duals, that is to say the convergence of matrix coefficients of local representations. If I consider a local representati …
