A celebrated result of Waldspurger provides a relation between
Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms and the
central value of L-functions of the associated Shimura lift (which
is a modular form of integral weight). This has a...
We use the recent developments of Jacquet in order to obtain an
explicit expression for a compact unitary period of certain
automorphic form on GL(n) in terms of special values of
L-functions. Jacquet obtains a characterization of the image
of...
