摘要:In this talk we will first look at a spectral decomposition of a non-Euclidean Laplace operator and introduce non-holomorphic modular (Maass) forms and their L-functions. This generalizes to spectral
analysis of invariant integral operators which lead to trace formulas and relative trace formulas. These are important techniques for the Langlands functoriality conjecture. A relative trace formula can also be
used to prove a bound on central values of L-functions attached to Maass forms. This talk is introductory and should be accessible to graduate students.
