This is the second of the two volumes which contain the proceedings of this workshop. The topics of the contributed articles represent leading themes of research in automorphic forms today: the trace formula and its applications to functo- riality and representations of p-adic reductive groups; the relative trace formula and periods of automorphic forms; Rankin-Selberg convolutions and L-functions; p-adic L-functions. The articles in this volume concern mainly local aspects in the study of automorphic forms, and those of the first volume (Contemporary Mathematics, volume 488) concern mainly global aspects. Steve Gelbart played a key role in the development of the theory of L-functions of automorphic representations and its applications to the theta correspondence and functoriality. The workshop and these two volumes are to acknowledge Steve Gelbart’s achievements, impact and influence in automorphic forms and L-functions.

  • Sastra Prize 2011
    UF SASTRA PRIZE Mathematics 2011 Research Courses Undergraduate Graduate News Resources People ROMAN HOLOWINSKY TO RECEIVE 2011 SASTRA RAMANUJAN PRIZE The 2011 SASTRA Ramanujan Prize will be awarded to Roman Holowinsky, who is now an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA. This annual prize which was established in 2005, is for outstanding contributions by very young mathematicians to areas influenced by the genius Srinivasa Ramanujan. The age limit for the prize has been set at 32 because Ramanujan achieved so much in his brief life of 32 years. The $10,000 prize will be awarded at the International Conference on Number Theory, Ergodic Theory and Dynamics at SASTRA University in Kumbakonam, India (Ramanujan's hometown) on December 22, Ramanujan's birthday. Dr. Roman Holowinsky has made very significant contributions to areas which are at the interface of analytic number theory and the theory of modular forms. Along with Professor Kannan Soundararajan of Stanford University (winner of the SASTRA Ramanujan Prize in 2005), Dr. Holowinsky solved an important case of the famous Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) Conjecture in 2008. This is a spectacular achievement. In 1991, Zeev Rudnick and Peter Sarnak formulated the QUE Conjecture which in its general form concerns the correspondence principle for quantizations of chaotic systems. One aspect of the problem is to understand how waves are influenced by the geometry of their enclosure. Rudnick and Sarnak conjectured that for sufficiently chaotic systems, if the surface has negative curvature, then the high frequency quantum wave functions are uniformly distributed within the domain.

  • Generic Transfer from Gsp(4) to GL(4)
    Compositio Math. 142 (2006) 541–550 doi:10.1112/S0010437X06001904 Generic transfer from GSp(4) to GL(4) Mahdi Asgari and Freydoon Shahidi Abstract We establish the Langlands functoriality conjecture for the transfer from the generic spec- trum of GSp(4) to GL(4) and give a criterion for the cuspidality of its image. We apply this to prove results toward the generalized Ramanujan conjecture for generic representations of GSp(4). 1. Introduction Let k be a number field and let G denote the group GSp(4, Ak). The (connected component of the) L-group of G is GSp(4, C), which has a natural embedding into GL(4, C). Langlands functoriality predicts that associated to this embedding there should be a transfer of automorphic representations of G to those of GL(4, Ak)(see[Art04]). Langlands’ theory of Eisenstein series reduces the proof of this to unitary cuspidal automorphic representations. We establish functoriality for the generic spectrum of GSp(4, Ak). More precisely (cf. Theorem 2.4), we prove the following. Let π be a unitary cuspidal representation of GSp(4, Ak), which we assume to be globally generic. Then π has a unique transfer to an automorphic representation Π of GL(4, Ak). 2 The transfer is generic (globally and locally) and satisfies ωΠ = ωπ and Π Π⊗ωπ. Here, ωπ and ωΠ denote the central characters of π and Π, respectively. Moreover, we give a cuspidality criterion for Π and prove that, when Π is not cuspidal, it is an isobaric sum of two unitary cuspidal representations of GL(2, Ak)(cf.Proposition2.2).

Introduction The \converse theorem" in the theory of automorphic forms has a long history, beginning with the work of Hecke [He36] and a paper of Weil [We67] relating the automorphy relations satisfied by classical holomorphic modular forms f to analytic properties of the twisted L-functions L(s; f × χ) for Dirichlet characters χ. Soon after, the classical theory was recast in the modern setting of automorphic representations by Jacquet and Langlands [JL70], who generalized Weil's result to GL2 representations π over a global field, characterizing them in terms of their twists L(s; π ⊗ !) by id`eleclass characters !.

  • From Quantum Systems to L-Functions: Pair Correlation Statistics and Beyond
    From Quantum Systems to L-Functions: Pair Correlation Statistics and Beyond Owen Barrett, Frank W. K. Firk, Steven J. Miller, and Caroline Turnage-Butterbaugh Abstract The discovery of connections between the distribution of energy levels of heavy nuclei and spacings between prime numbers has been one of the most sur- prising and fruitful observations in the twentieth century. The connection between the two areas was first observed through Montgomery’s work on the pair correla- tion of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. As its generalizations and consequences have motivated much of the following work, and to this day remains one of the most important outstanding conjectures in the field, it occupies a central role in our discussion below. We describe some of the many techniques and results from the past sixty years, especially the important roles played by numerical and experimen- tal investigations, that led to the discovery of the connections and progress towards understanding the behaviors. In our survey of these two areas, we describe the com- mon mathematics that explains the remarkable universality. We conclude with some thoughts on what might lie ahead in the pair correlation of zeros of the zeta function, and other similar quantities.

The Notices is an interesting and engaging magazine that is read by mathematicians all over the world. As members of the AMS, we should all be proud to have the Notices as our magazine of record. Personally, I have enjoyed reading the Notices for over 30 years, and I appreciate the opportunity that the AMS has given me to shape the magazine for the next three years. I hope that under my leadership even more people will look forward to reading it each month as much as I do. Above all, I would like the focus of the Notices to be on expository articles about pure and applied mathematics broadly defined. I would like the authors, topics, and writing styles of these articles to be diverse in every sense except for their desire to explain the mathematics that they love in a clear and engaging way.
