The archimedean theory of the exterior square $L$-functions over $\mathbb{Q}$
The analytic properties of automorphic $L$-functions have historically been obtained either through integral representations (the âRankin-Selberg methodâ) or properties of the Fourier expansions of Eisenstein series (the âLanglands-Shahidi methodâ). We introduce a method based on pairings of automorphic distributions that appears to be applicable to a wide variety of $L$-functions, …
