In this paper, we study some aspects of the local fields generated by division values of formal Drinfeld modules.

An explicit construction of a pre-quantum line bundle for the moduli space of flat $G$-bundles over a Riemann surface is given, where $G$ is any non-simply connected compact simple Lie group. This work helps to explain a curious coincidence previously observed between Toledano Laredo's work classifying central extensions of loop groups $LG$ and the author's previous work on the obstruction to pre-quantization of the moduli space of flat $G$-bundles.

Let F be an arbitrary local field. Consider the standard embedding and the two-sided action of GLn(F)×GLn(F) on GLn+1(F). In this paper we show that any GLn(F)×GLn(F)-invariant distribution on GLn+1(F) is invariant with respect to transposition. We show that this implies that the pair (GLn+1(F), GLn(F)) is a Gelfand pair. Namely, for any irreducible admissible representation (π,E) of GLn+1(F), . For the proof in the archimedean case, we develop several tools to study invariant distributions on smooth manifolds.

This paper is a continuation of our previous work (D. Jiang and D. Soudry, On the genericity of cuspidal automorphic forms on${\rm SO}_{2n+1}$, J. reine angew. Math., to appear). We extend Moeglin's results (C. Moeglin, J. Lie Theory 7 (1997), 201–229, 231–238) from the even orthogonal groups to old orthogonal groups and complete our proof of the CAP conjecture for irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}(\mathbb{A})$ with special Bessel models. We also give a characterization of the vanishing of the central value of the standard $L$-function of $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}(\mathbb{A})$ in terms of theta correspondence. As a result, we obtain the weak Langlands functorial transfer from $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}(\mathbb{A})$ to $\mathrm{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb{A})$ for irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}(\mathbb{A})$ with special Bessel models.

We are interested in Poisson structures transverse to nilpotent adjoint orbits in a complex semi-simple Lie algebra, and we study their polynomial nature. Furthermore, in the case of $s{{l}_{n}}$, we construct some families of nilpotent orbits with quadratic transverse structures.

Soit $G$ le groupe des points définis sur un corps $p$-adique d'un groupe réductif connexe. A l'aide des caractères virtuels supertempérés de $G$, on prouve (conjectures de Clozel) que toute représentation irréductible tempérée de $G$ est irréductiblement induite d'une essentielle d'un sousgroupe de Lévi de $G$.

In this paper we use Langlands-Shahidi method and the result of Langlands which says that non self-conjugate maximal parabolic subgroups do not contribute to the residual spectrum, to prove the holomorphy of several completed automorphic $L$-functions on the whole complex plane which appear in constant terms of the Eisenstein series. They include the exterior square $L$-functions of $\text{G}{{\text{L}}_{\text{n}}},\,n$ odd, the Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions of $\text{G}{{\text{L}}_{n}}\times \,\text{G}{{\text{L}}_{m}},\,n\,\ne \,m$, and $L$-functions $L\left( s,\,\sigma ,\,r \right)$, where $\sigma $ is a generic cuspidal representation of $\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{10}}$ and $r$ is the half-spin representation of GSpin $\left( 10,\,\mathbb{C} \right)$. The main part is proving the holomorphy and non-vanishing of the local normalized intertwining operators by reducing them to natural conjectures in harmonic analysis, such as standard module conjecture.
