Such a period gives rise to a special value of the triple L-function. We prove a bound for the triple period which amounts to a subconvexity bound for the corresponding special value. Our method is based on the study of the analytic structure of the corresponding unique trilinear functional on unitary representations of PGL(2,R).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-04-20T13:13:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F67", "22E45", "11F70", "11M26" ], "keywords": [ "representation theory", "corresponding unique trilinear functional", "automorphic representations", "triple l-function", "trilinear period" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......4411B" } } }
