Based on a workshop on Special Values of Rankin L-series held at the MSRI in December 2001, this volume presents thirteen articles written by leading contributors on the history of the Gross-Zagier formula and recent developments. Topics include the theory of complex multiplication, automorphic forms, the Rankin-Selberg method, arithmetic intersection theory, and Iwasawa theory.
