This book discusses the mathematical interests of Joachim
Schwermer, who throughout his career has focused on the cohomology
of arithmetic groups, automorphic forms and the geometry of
arithmetic manifolds. To mark his 66th birthday, the editors
brought together mathematical experts to offer an overview of the
current state of research in these and related areas. The result is
this book, with contributions ranging from topology to arithmetic.
It probes the relation between cohomology of arithmetic groups and
automorphic forms and their L-functions, and spans the range from
classical Bianchi groups to the theory of Shimura varieties. It is
a valuable reference for both experts in the fields and for
graduate students and postdocs wanting to discover where the
current frontiers lie.

This volume is the proceedings of the conference on Automorphic
Representations, L-functions and Applications: Progress and
Prospects, held at the Department of Mathematics of The Ohio State
University, March 27-30, 2003, in honor of the 60th birthday of
Steve Rallis. The theory of automorphic representations,
automorphic L-functions and their applications to arithmetic
continues to be an area of vigorous and fruitful research. The
contributed papers in this volume represent many of the most recent
developments and directions, including Rankin-Selberg L-functions
(Bump, Ginzburg-Jiang-Rallis, Lapid-Rallis) the relative trace
formula (Jacquet, Mao-Rallis) automorphic representations
(Gan-Gurevich, Ginzburg-Rallis-Soudry) representation theory of
p-adic groups (Baruch, Kudla-Rallis, Moeglin,
Cogdell-Piatetski-Shapiro-Shahidi) p-adic methods
(Harris-Li-Skinner, Vigneras), and arithmetic applications
(Chinta-Friedberg-Hoffstein). The survey articles by Bump, on the
Rankin-Selberg method, and by Jacquet, on the relative trace
formula, should be particularly useful as an introduction to the
key ideas about these important topics. This volume should be of
interest both to researchers and students in the area of
automorphic representations, as well as to mathematicians in other
areas interested in having an overview of current developments in
this important field.
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Automorphic
Forms and Related Geometry: Assessing the Legacy of I.I.
Piatetski-Shapiro, held from April 23-27, 2012, at Yale University,
New Haven, CT. Ilya I. Piatetski-Shapiro, who passed away on 21
February 2009, was a leading figure in the theory of automorphic
forms. The conference attempted both to summarize and consolidate
the progress that was made during Piatetski-Shapiro's lifetime by
him and a substantial group of his co-workers, and to promote
future work by identifying fruitful directions of further
investigation. It was organized around several themes that
reflected Piatetski-Shapiro's main foci of work and that have
promise for future development: functoriality and converse
theorems; local and global L -functions and their periods; p -adic
L -functions and arithmetic geometry; complex geometry; and
analytic number theory. In each area, there were talks to review
the current state of affairs with special attention to
Piatetski-Shapiro's contributions, and other talks to report on
current work and to outline promising avenues for continued
progress. The contents of this volume reflect most of the talks
that were presented at the conference as well as a few additional
contributions. They all represent various aspects of the legacy of
Piatetski-Shapiro.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of a conference, "On
Certain L-functions", held July 23-27, 2007 at Purdue University,
West Lafayette, Indiana. The conference was organised in honour of
the 60th birthday of Freydoon Shahidi, widely recognised as having
made groundbreaking contributions to the Langlands programme. The
articles in this volume represent a snapshot of the state of the
field from several viewpoints. Contributions illuminate various
areas of the study of geometric, analytic, and number theoretic
aspects of automorphic forms and their L-functions, and both local
and global theory are addressed. Topics discussed in the articles
include Langlands functoriality, the Rankin-Selberg method, the
Langlands-Shahidi method, motivic Galois groups, Shimura varieties,
orbital integrals, representations of p-adic groups, Plancherel
formula and its consequences, the Gross-Prasad conjecture, and
more. The volume also includes an expository article on Shahidi's
contributions to the field, which serves as an introduction to the
subject. Experts will find this book a useful reference, and
beginning researchers will be able to use it to survey major
results in the Langlands programme.
