%0 Journal Article %T On the spectral side of the Arthur trace formula %A Werner Muller %J Mathematics %D 2002 %I arXiv %X In this paper we study the absolute convergence of the spectral side of the Arthur trace formula. We reduce the problem of the absolute convergence to a problem about local components of automorphic representations. The latter problem can be settled for GL(n). %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0210464v1
