Abstract or Additional Information
The so-called Rankin-Selberg method is a powerful method, albeit more of
an art than science, to establish analytic properties of L-functions. I
will give an introduction mostly through examples. Time permitting, I will
report on joint work with J. Cogdell and F. Shahidi developing a
Rankin-Selberg integral for general spin groups, generalizing parts of
results of D. Ginzburg and D. Soudry and Gelbart-Piatetski-Shapiro-Rallis
for classical groups.
