A general principle, discovered by Robert Langlands and named by him the "functoriality principle," predicts relations between automorphic forms on arithmetic subgroups of different reductive groups. Langlands functoriality relates the eigenvalues of Hecke operators acting on the automorphic forms on two groups (or the local factors of the "automorphic representations" generated by them). In the few instances where such relations have been probed, they have led to deep arithmetic consequences.
This book studies one of the simplest general problems in the theory, that of relating...

Most of us today have reservations about the direction our country is taking. We are beginning to question the wisdom of our leaders, both in Congress and in the White House. Recent polls indicate that our President has a 30% approval rating (or less) while the ratings are even lower for the Congress. Most of us regret that our military ever entered Iraq, as we witness the mess we have made there and the missing "back door" for getting out. Meanwhile things are becoming more uncertain here at home as we see increasing fuel costs and declining home values. Inflation, which is scarcely ever...

Universities and Colleges with a Christian affiliation have in recent years sought to renew and redefine their identities and almost all have rearticulated their mission for the modern age after a long and serious process of reappraisal. This process has been accompanied by an ongoing discussion of the nature and identity of higher education itself. This discussion has required leadership that is different from most secular leadership. This book provides a range of experienced voices, including the Archbishop of Canterbury, that reflect on the character and mission of leadership in...
