Seminars for the week of February 18, 2008

Colloquium

Thursday, 3:20, in VinH 16

Professor Atsushi Ichino
of IAS-Princeton/Osaka City University
will speak on
"Periods of automorphic forms and special values of L-functions"

A period of an automorphic form on a reductive group G over a number field is defined by its integral over a subgroup H of G. Such periods are often related to special values of automorphic L-functions. In this talk, we present a conjecture in the case of special orthogonal groups, which can be regarded as a refinement of the global Gross-Prasad conjecture about the restriction of automorphic representations of SO(n+1) to SO(n). This is a joint work with Tamotsu Ikeda.
