Automorphic Forms and L-Functions for the Group GL(n,R)

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'... a gentle introduction to this fascinating new subject. The presentation is very explicit and many examples are worked out with great detail ... This book should be of great interest to students beginning with the theory of modular forms or for more advanced readers wanting to know about general L-functions.' Emmanuel P. Royer, Mathematical Reviews 'This book, whose clear and sometimes simplified proofs make the basic theory of automorphic forms on GL(n) accessible to a wide audience, will be valuable for students. It nicely complements D. Bump's book (Automorphic Forms and Representations, Cambridge, 1997), which offers a greater emphasis on representation theory and a different selection of topics.' Zentralblatt MATH 'Unfortunately, when n > 2 the GL(n) theory is not very accessible to the student of analytic number theory, yet it is increasing in importance. [This book] addresses this problem by developing a large part of the theory in a way that is carefully designed to make the field accessible ... much of the literature is written in the adele language, and seeing how it translates into classical terms is both useful and enlightening ... This is a unique and very welcome book, one that the student of automorphic forms will want to study, and also useful to experts.' Daniel Bump, SIAM Review
