Representation Theory
Automorphic forms are complex analytic functions that arise in the study of symmetries of algebraic objects, particularly in the context of number theory and representation theory. They can be thought of as generalizations of modular forms, exhibiting invariance under the action of a discrete group, which plays a crucial role in connecting different areas of mathematics, including L-functions and their properties.
