%0 Journal Article %T A Summary of the Langlands-Shahidi Method of Constructing L-functions %A Stephen D. Miller %J Mathematics %D 2002 %I arXiv %X These notes are from the Database of Automorphic L-functions at http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~sdmiller/l-functions . They were written up by Stephen Miller, and are based on discussions with Freydoon Shahidi, Purdue University. They are meant to serve as an introduction to the Langlands-Shahidi method of studying L-functions through the Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0204148v2
