An integral representation of automorphic L-function for quasi-split unitary groups

Abstract

In this thesis, we obtain an Euler product expansion of a Shimura integral over the unitary group U(n, n). This gives an integral representation of the standard Langlands L-function of a cuspidal automorphic representation of the group U (n, n) , attached to a 4n dimensional representation of its L-group. Our method is parallel to that of Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis, who dealt with the case of symplectic groups.
