Analytic theory of GL(3) automorphic forms and applications
November 17 to November 21, 2008
American Institute of Mathematics, Palo Alto, CA

Organizers:
Henryk Iwaniec, Philippe Michel, and K. Soundararajan

Description:
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, has the goal of providing
a description of GL_3 automorphic forms and their L-functions
amenable to analytic number theorists and to explain the various
approaches available to perform harmonic analysis on these spaces.
A second objective will be to discuss the extension of some of the
important tools existing in the GL_2 theory to the GL_3 context:
a typical example is Kuznetzov's formula. A third objective will
be to list some important problems known for GL_2 and to identify
the main obstructions to the extension of these to GL_3: typical
problems are non-vanishing problems for central values of L-functions
and subconvexity problem. To achieve these goals we plan to bring
together analytic number theorists and specialists from the theory
of automorphic forms and related fields who are interested in
analytic questions. 

Deadline:
