In Print: ‘Eisenstein Series and Automorphic L-Functions’
A foundational text in modern number theory, “Eisenstein Series and Automorphic L-Functions” provides a comprehensive account of a powerful technique for analyzing a broad class of L-functions. Written by Freydoon Shahidi, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, the book details his pioneering Langlands-Shahidi method. This work serves as the definitive guide to his method, a technique that has become a vital tool for solving deep problems in number theory.
