Topics on Automorphic L-functions I
This course provides an introduction to the theory of automorphic L-functions.
The first part develops the harmonic analysis of GL(1) following Tate’s thesis, covering local and global fields, locally compact abelian groups and their Pontryagin duals, Schwartz–Bruhat function spaces, Fourier transforms, and zeta integrals together with their absolute convergence, functional equations, and meromorphic continuation.
The second part focuses on the Godement–Jacquet theory, which generalizes Tate’s approach to the standard L-functions of automorphic representations of
GL(n) for arbitrary n.
