Download or read book $L$ Functions for the Orthogonal Group written by David Ginzburg and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors establish global Rankin Selberg integrals which determine the standard [italic capital]L function for the group [italic capitals]GL[subscript italic]r x [italic capital]Gʹ, where [italic capital]Gʹ is an isometry group of a nondegenerate symmetric form. The class of automorphic representations considered here is for any pair [capital Greek]Pi1 [otimes/dyadic/Kronecker/tensor product symbol] [capital Greek]Pi2 where [capital Greek]Pi1 is generic cuspidal for [italic capitals]GL[subscript italic]r([italic capital]A) and [capital Greek]Pi2 is cuspidal for [italic capital]Gʹ([italic capital]A). The construction of these [italic capital]L functions involves the use of certain new "models" of local representations; these models generalize the usual generic models. The authors also computer local unramified factors in a new way using geometric ideas.
