Publisher's Synopsis
The main subject of the book is the arithmetic of zeta functions of automorphic forms. More precisely, it looks at p-adic properties of the special values of these functions. For the Riemann-zeta function this goes back to the classical Kummer congruences for Bernoulli numbers and their p-adic analytic continuation of the standard zeta functions of Siegel and modular forms and of the convolutions of Hilbert modular forms.;The book is addressed to specialists in representation theory, functional analysis and algebraic geometry. Together with new results, it provides considerable background information on p-adic measures, their Mellin transforms, Siegel and Hilbert modular forms, Hecke operators acting on them, and Euler products.
