A Coarse Jacquet-Zagier Trace Formula for GL($n$) with Applications (2003.03450v2)

Abstract: In this paper we establish a coarse Jacquet-Zagier trace identity for GL$(n).$ We prove the absolute convergence when $\Re(s)>1$ and $0<\Re(s)<1;$ and obtain holomorphic continuation under almost all character twist. Moreover, as an application, we prove that holomorphy of certain adjoint $L$-functions for GL$(n)$ implies Dedekind conjecture of degree $n$. Some nonvanishing results are also discussed.
