Title: Poles and Residues of Eisenstein Series:
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM - 5:00:00 PM, Monday, February 02
Venue: Ramanujan Hall
Abstract: Just as the Fourier transform involves the exponential function, the continuous spectrum of automorphic forms is expressed in terms of Eisenstein series. These series are meromorphic functions of one or several complex variables with values in the space of automorphic forms. Two fundamental questions concern the location of their poles and the contribution of their residues to the discrete spectrum. This talk presents our investigation into these problems.
