The starting point of this Lecture Notes volume is Deligne's
theorem about absolute Hodge cycles on abelian varieties. Its
applications to the theory of motives with complex multiplication
are systematically reviewed. In particular, algebraic relations
between values of the gamma function, the so-called formula of
Chowla and Selberg and its generalization and Shimura's monomial
relations among periods of CM abelian varieties are all presented
in a unified way, namely as the analytic reflections of arithmetic
identities beetween Hecke characters, with gamma values
corresponding to Jacobi sums. The last chapter contains a special
case in which Deligne's theorem does not apply.
These notes are concerned with showing the relation between
L-functions of classical groups (*F1 in particular) and *F2
functions arising from the oscillator representation of the dual
reductive pair *F1 *F3 O(Q). The problem of measuring the
nonvanishing of a *F2 correspondence by computing the Petersson
inner product of a *F2 lift from *F1 to O(Q) is considered. This
product can be expressed as the special value of an L-function
(associated to the standard representation of the L-group of *F1)
times a finite number of local Euler factors (measuring whether a
given local representation occurs in a given oscillator
representation). The key ideas used in proving this are (i) new
Rankin integral representations of standard L-functions, (ii)
see-saw dual reductive pairs and (iii) Siegel-Weil formula. The
book addresses readers who specialize in the theory of automorphic
forms and L-functions and the representation theory of Lie groups.

We begin by making clear the meaning of the term "tame." The higher
ramifi cation groups, on the one hand, and the one-units of chain
groups, on the other, are to lie in the kernels of the respective
representations considered. We shall establish a very natural and
very well behaved relationship between representa tions of the two
groups mentioned in the title, with all the right properties, and
in particular functorial under base change and essentially
preserving root numbers. All this will be done in full generality
for all principal orders. The formal setup for this also throws new
light on the nature of Gauss sums and in particular leads to a
canonical closed formula for tame Galois Gauss sums. In many ways
the "tame" and the "wild" theory have distinct features and
distinct points of interest. The "wild" theory is much harder and -
as far as it goes at present - technically rather complicated. On
the "tame" side, once we have developed a number of new ideas, we
get a complete comprehensive theory, from which technical
difficulties have disappeared, and which has a naturality, and
perhaps elegance, which seems rather rare in this gen, eral area.
Among the principal new concepts we are introducing are those of
"similarity" of represen tations in both contexts and that of the
Galois algebra of a principalorder., One might expect that this
Galois algebra will, also be of importance in the wild situation."
The Notes give a direct approach to the Selberg zeta-function for
cofinite discrete subgroups of SL (2, #3) acting on the upper
half-plane. The basic idea is to compute the trace of the iterated
resolvent kernel of the hyperbolic Laplacian in order to arrive at
the logarithmic derivative of the Selberg zeta-function. Previous
knowledge of the Selberg trace formula is not assumed. The theory
is developed for arbitrary real weights and for arbitrary
multiplier systems permitting an approach to known results on
classical automorphic forms without the Riemann-Roch theorem. The
author's discussion of the Selberg trace formula stresses the
analogy with the Riemann zeta-function. For example, the canonical
factorization theorem involves an analogue of the Euler constant.
Finally the general Selberg trace formula is deduced easily from
the properties of the Selberg zeta-function: this is similar to the
procedure in analytic number theory where the explicit formulae are
deduced from the properties of the Riemann zeta-function. Apart
from the basic spectral theory of the Laplacian for cofinite groups
the book is self-contained and will be useful as a quick approach
to the Selberg zeta-function and the Selberg trace formula.
This is the third Lecture Notes volume to be produced in the
framework of the New York Number Theory Seminar. The papers
contained here are mainly research papers. N
An international Summer School on: "Modular functions of one
variable and arithmetical applications" took place at RUCA, Antwerp
University, from July 17 to - gust 3, 1972. This book is the first
volume (in a series of four) of the Proceedings of the Summer
School. It includes the basic course given by A. Ogg, and several
other papers with a strong analyt~c flavour. Volume 2 contains the
courses of R. P. Langlands (l-adic rep resentations) and P. Deligne
(modular schemes - representations of GL ) and papers on related
topics. 2 Volume 3 is devoted to p-adic properties of modular forms
and applications to l-adic representations and zeta functions.
Volume 4 collects various material on elliptic curves, includ ing
numerical tables. The School was a NATO Advanced Study Institute,
and the orga nizers want to thank NATO for its major subvention.
Further support, in various forms, was received from IBM Belgium,
the Coca-Cola Co. of Belgium, Rank Xerox Belgium, the Fort Food Co.
of Belgium, and NSF Washington, D.C** We extend our warm est thanks
to all of them, as well as to RUCA and the local staff (not
forgetting hostesses and secretaries!) who did such an excellent
job.

The goal of this research monograph is to derive the analytic
continuation and functional equation of the "L"-functions attached
by R.P. Langlands to automorphic representations of reductive
algebraic groups. The first part of the book (by Piatetski-Shapiro
and Rallis) deals with "L"-functions for the simple classical
groups; the second part (by Gelbart and Piatetski-Shapiro) deals
with non-simple groups of the form "G GL(n)," with "G" a
quasi-split reductive group of split rank "n." The method of proof
is to construct certain explicit zeta-integrals of Rankin-Selberg
type which interpolate the relevant Langlands "L"-functions and can
be analyzed via the theory of Eisenstein series and intertwining
operators. This is the first time such an approach has been applied
to such general classes of groups. The flavor of the local theory
is decidedly representation theoretic, and the work should be of
interest to researchers in group representation theory as well as
number theory.
During the academic year 1916-1917 I had the good fortune to be a
student of the great mathematician and distinguished teacher Adolf
Hurwitz, and to attend his lectures on the Theory of Functions at
the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich. After his death in 1919 there
fell into my hands a set of notes on the Theory of numbers, which
he had delivered at the Polytechnic Institute. This set of notes I
revised and gave to Mrs. Ferentinou-Nicolacopoulou with a request
that she read it and make relevant observations. This she did
willingly and effectively. I now take advantage of these few lines
to express to her my warmest thanks. Athens, November 1984 N.
Kritikos About the Authors ADOLF HURWITZ was born in 1859 at
Hildesheim, Germany, where he attended the Gymnasium. He studied
Mathematics at the Munich Technical University and at the
University of Berlin, where he took courses from Kummer,
Weierstrass and Kronecker. Taking his Ph. D. under Felix Klein in
Leipzig in 1880 with a thes i s on modul ar funct ions, he became
Pri vatdozent at Gcitt i ngen in 1882 and became an extraordinary
Professor at the University of Konigsberg, where he became
acquainted with D. Hilbert and H. Minkowski, who remained lifelong
friends. He was at Konigsberg until 1892 when he accepted
Frobenius' chair at the Polytechnic Institute in Z rich (E. T. H. )
where he remained the rest of his 1 i fe.
The theory of arithmetical functions has always been one of the
more active parts of the theory of numbers. The large number of
papers in the bibliography, most of which were written in the last
forty years, attests to its popularity. Most textbooks on the
theory of numbers contain some information on arithmetical
functions, usually results which are classical. My purpose is to
carry the reader beyond the point at which the textbooks abandon
the subject. In each chapter there are some results which can be
described as contemporary, and in some chapters this is true of
almost all the material. This is an introduction to the subject,
not a treatise. It should not be expected that it covers every
topic in the theory of arithmetical functions. The bibliography is
a list of papers related to the topics that are covered, and it is
at least a good approximation to a complete list within the limits
I have set for myself. In the case of some of the topics omitted
from or slighted in the book, I cite expository papers on those
topics.
This is a volume of papers presented at the New York Number Theory
Seminar. Since 1982, the Seminar has been meeting weekly during the
academic year at the Graduate School and University Center of the
City University of New York. This collection of papers covers a
wide area of number theory, particularly modular functions,
algebraic and diophantine geometry, and computational number
theory.

A belian Varieties has been out of print for a while. Since it was
written, the subject has made some great advances, and Mumford's
book giving a scheme theoretic treatment has appeared (D. Mum-
ford, Abelian Varieties, Tata Lecture Notes, Oxford University
Press, London, 1970). However, some topics covered in my book were
not covered in Mumford's; for instance, the construction of the
Picard variety, the Albanese variety, some formulas concern- ing
numerical questions, the reciprocity law for correspondences and
its application to Kummer theory, Chow's theory for the K/k-trace
and image, and others. Several people have told me they still found
a number of sections of my book useful. There- fore I thank
Springer-Verlag for the opportunity to keep the book in print. S.
LANG v FOREWORD Pour des simplifications plus subs tan- tielles, Ie
developpement futur de la geometrie algebrique ne saurait manquer
sans do ute d' en faire apparaitre. It is with considerable
pleasure that we have seen in recent years the simplifications
expected by Weil realize themselves, and it has seemed timely to
incorporate them into a new book. We treat exclusively abelian
varieties, and do not pretend to write a treatise on algebraic
groups. Hence we have summarized in a first chapter all the general
results on algebraic groups that are used in the sequel. They are
all foundational results.
