I will discuss an approach to the subconvexity problem for L-functions based on period integral formulae and amplification. In particular, I will describe work in progress with Ruixiang Zhang that attempts to prove a subconvex bound for the central...

I will talk about some global questions on the concentration properties of automorphic forms that seem to be a natural environment in which to examine the interplay between the geometry and spectrum of spherical varieties, L-functions, and...

The problem of bounding character twists of low-rank L-functions has been attacked using a variety techniques, including delta methods and analysis of period integral representations. I'll discuss this problem, emphasizing joint work with Roman...

(joint w. Ben Bakker) Period spaces are quotients of period domains by arithmetic groups that parametrize hodge structures. These are typically complex-analytic orbifolds, but in most cases cannot be equipped with an algebraic structure. As a...
