Abstract or Additional Information
Eisenstein series are special types of automorphic forms that have proved useful in the study of L-functions. For example, Shimura considered a Rankin-Selberg construction using an Eisenstein series on the double cover of SL(2) to study the symmetric square L-function of a modular form. We will discuss the Fourier coefficients of the titular Eisenstein series and describe some potential applications to the Archimedean theory of GL(3) symmetric square L-functions and the study of moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions.
