### Automorphic Forms and L-functions for the group GL(n,R)


p. 44, proposition 2.2.6 is in error. In fact, right invariance by the element $\delta_1$ is not, in general, preserved by the action of the differential operators. To see this, let $f$ be a function $GL(2, \R) \to \C$ which is right-invariant by $\delta_1,$ define $h = D_\alpha f,$ where $\alpha = \bspm 0&1\\0&0\espm,$ and suppose that $h$ is also $\delta_1$-invariant. Then $$h(g) = h(g\delta_1) = \lim_{t\to 0}\frac 1t (f(g\delta_1 t\alpha)-f(g\delta_1) )$$ $$= \lim_{t\to 0}\frac 1t (f(g (-t)\alpha\delta_1)-f(g\delta_1) )$$ $$= \lim_{t\to 0}\frac 1t (f(g (-t)\alpha)-f(g) ) =D_{-\alpha}f(g) = -h(g).$$ (We used the fact that $\delta_1 \alpha \delta_1 = -\alpha.$) This shows that if $f$ and $D_\alpha f$ are both fixed by $\delta_1,$ then $D_\alpha f =0.$ It is shown on p. 47 that $D_\alpha$ is essentially $y\ptl{}x,$ so there are many functions which are fixed by $\delta_1$ and not killed by $D_\alpha,$ including many which are fixed by $GL(2, \Z)$ on the left and by the center.

p. 50, proposition 2.3.5 is not correct. In fact, the center of the universal enveloping algebra of $\f{gl}(n, \C)$ is a polynomial algebra in $n$ generators, not $n-1.$ Indeed, proposition 2.3.3 on p. 47 shows that a certain differential operator lies in the center of the universal enveloping algebra for $2 \le m \le n.$ But if $m=1,$ the proof still works. The operator corresponding to $m=1$ is $D_{I_n},$ where $I_n$ is the $n \times n$ identity matrix. This operator is of degree 1, so it is clearly not in the algebra generated by the others.

On p. 105, $\heartsuit$ is described as an endomorphism of $\c L^2_{\cusp}= \c L^2_{\cusp}(SL(2, \Z)\bs \f h)$ whose image is purely cuspidal.'' It should be an endomorphism of $\c L^2= \c L^2(SL(2, \Z)\bs \f h)$ whose image is purely cuspidal.'' (The key property of $\heart$ is that $\heart f$ is cuspidal even when $f$ is not.)

On p. 108, it says it is easy to check that $\heart$ preserves the space $\c L^2_{\cusp,+}$ (in fact, all operators in sight do).'' This may be true but it's not relevant. The key property of $\heart$ is that it maps $\c L^2_+$ into $\c L^2_{\cusp, +}.$

On p. 108 it says "to show that there exist even cusp forms, we must show that $\heart$ is nonzero on $\mathcal{L}^2_{\text{cusp},+}$." It should be on $\c L^2_+.$''

On p. 109, the space $C^\infty_+(\f S(Y))$ should be defined as $C^\infty(\f S(Y)) \cap \c L^2_+,$ rather than $C^\infty(\f S(Y)) \cap \c L^2_{\cusp,+}.$

On p. 110, in the last paragraph, the functions $f_{jk}$ are contained in $C^\infty_+(\f S(Y))\subset\c L^2_+,$ but there is no reason to think that they are in $\c L^2_{\cusp,+},$ so one should assume that they are not. Clearly $$\int_0^1 f_{jk}(x+iy) \, dx = 0$$ for all $y\ge 1,$ but for smaller values of $y,$ all bets are off. Likewise $W$ is not contained in $\c L^2_{\cusp,+}.$ Only the space $V$ obtained by applying the heart operator to $W$ lies in $\c L^2_{\cusp,+}.$

Proposition 2.2.3 shows that the ring of differential operators $\frak D^n$ is a realization of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra $\frak g\frak l(n, \mathbb R).$
$---->$
Proposition 2.2.3 shows that the function $\alpha \to \frak D_\alpha$ extends to a ring homomorphism from the universal enveloping algebra to $\frak D^n$. To complete the proof that $\frak D^n$ is a realization, one must show that the kernel of this ring homomorphism is trivial. See Lemma 4.5.4 in [Goldfeld-Hundley, Vol. 1, 2011].

Every differential operator which lies in $\frak D^n$ (the center of the universal enveloping algebra of $\frak g\frak l(n, \mathbb R)$) can be expressed as a polynomial (with coefficients in $\mathbb R$) in the Casimir operators defined in proposition 2.3.4. Furthermore, $\frak D^n$ is a polynomial algebra of rank $n-1$.

Let $n \ge 2.$ Then $\frak D^n$ (the center of the universal enveloping algebra of $\frak g\frak l(n, \mathbb R)$) is a polynomial algebra of rank $n$. Every differential operator which lies in $\frak D^n$ can be expressed as a polynomial (with coefficients in $\mathbb R$) in the Casimir operators defined in proposition 2.3.3 and the differential operator $D_{I_n}$ where $I_n$ is the $n\times n$ identity matrix. Furthermore, $D_{I_n}$ annihilates any smooth function which is invariant by the center.

We introduce the right regular representation which maps $g \in GL(n, \mathbb R)$ to the endomorphism, $F \to \rho(g) F$ of $\mathcal V_n$, and is defined by $$\rho : GL(n, \mathbb R) \to \text{End}(\mathcal V_n),$$ where $$(\rho(g) F)(z) := F(z\cdot g)$$ for all $F \in \mathcal V_n, \; z \in \frak h^n = GL(n, \mathbb R)/O(n, \mathbb R)\cdot \mathbb R^\times,$ and all $g \in GL(n, \mathbb R).$
$---->$
It is possible to define certain actions on the vector space $\mathcal V_n$ such as actions by differential operators or actions by translation. These actions determine a very big automorphic representation which decomposes into a direct sum of irreducible automorphic representations. One may think of an irreducible automorphic representation as being generated by a single Maass form $\phi$, i.e., it is given by the $\mathbb C$ vector space generated by all linear combinations of the form $\sum_i c_i \phi_i$ where $c_i \in \mathbb C$ and $\phi_i$ is the function determined by one of the above actions on $\phi$. We have given a vague and imprecise description of automorphic representations. See [Goldfeld-Hundley, 2011] for a rigorous description of this beautiful theory.

Page 403, Remark
Remark: This is a representation into the endomorphisms of an infinite dimensional vector space! The space of Maass forms (cusp forms) is invariant under this representation. It decomposes into an infinite direct sum of irreducible invariant subspaces. If $\pi$ is the representation on one of these invariant subspaces then $\pi$ is termed an automorphic cuspidal representation and corresponds to a Maass form. The L-function associated to $\pi$ is then the L-function associated to the Maass form as in definition 9.4.3, i.e., it is a Godement-Jacquet L-function.

If $\pi$ is an irreducible representation on one of these invariant subspaces then $\pi$ is termed an automorphic cuspidal representation and corresponds to a Maass form. The L-function associated to $\pi$ is then the L-function associated to the Maass form as in definition 9.4.3, i.e., it is a Godement-Jacquet L-function. ADDITIONAL REFERENCE

Page 44, Proposition 2.2.6 Proposition 2.2.6 is in error. In fact, right invariance by the element $\delta_1$ is not, in general, preserved by the action of the differential operators. To see this, let $f: GL(2, \mathbb R) \to \mathbb C$ be a function which is right invariant by $\delta_1$, and define $h = D_a f$ where $a = \left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0&1\\0&0\end{smallmatrix}\right)$. Suppose that $h$ is also $\delta_1$-invariant. Then \begin{align*} h(g) & = h(g\delta_1) = \lim_{t\to 0} \frac{\big( f(g(\delta_1ta) - f(g\delta_1)\big)}{t}\\ & = \lim_{t\to 0} \frac{\big(f(g(-t) a\delta_1) - f(g\delta_1) \big)}{t}\\ & = \lim_{t\to 0} \frac{f(g(-t)a) - f(g)}{t} = D_{-a} f(g) = -h(g). \end{align*} (We used the fact that $\delta_1a\delta_1 = -a.$) This shows that if $f$ and $D_a f$ are both fixed by $\delta_1$ then $D_a f = 0.$ It is shown on page 48 that $D_a$ is essentially $y\frac{\partial}{\partial x}$, so there are many functions which are fixed by $\delta_1$ and not killed by $D_a$, including many which are fixed by $GL(2, \mathbb Z)$ on the left and by the center.
Page 141, Inequality (5.8.2) The estimate (5.8.2) is not correct. It is claimed that (5.8.2) follows from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in Lemma 5.6.8, but this is in error. It is not possible to apply the upper-bound from Lemma 5.6.8. Indeed all the exponents involved in the $I_\nu$ function are negative so the inequality should be reversed. Thus, a lower bound analogue of Lemma 5.6.8 would be required here (but such a lower bound is not valid in general).
