Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a valuable collection of articles presented at a conference on Automorphic Forms and Zeta Functions in memory of Tsuneo Arakawa, an eminent researcher in modular forms in several variables and zeta functions. The book begins with a review of his works, followed by 16 articles by experts in the fields including H Aoki, R Berndt, K Hashimoto, S Hayashida, Y Hironaka, H Katsurada, W Kohnen, A Krieg, A Murase, H Narita, T Oda, B Roberts, R Schmidt, R Schulze-Pillot, N Skoruppa, T Sugano, and D Zagier. A variety of topics in the theory of modular forms and zeta functions are covered: Theta series and the basis problems, Jacobi forms, automorphic forms on Sp(1, q), double zeta functions, special values of zeta and L-functions, many of which are closely related to Arakawa's works. This collection of papers illustrates Arakawa's contributions and the current trends in modular forms in several variables and related zeta functions. Contents: Tsuneo Arakawa and His Works; Estimate of the Dimensions of Hilbert Modular Forms by Means of Differential Operator (H Aoki); Marsden-Weinstein Reduction, Orbits and Representations of the Jacobi Group (R Berndt); On Eisenstein Series of Degree Two for Squarefree Levels and the Genus Version of the Basis Problem I (S Bocherer); Double Zeta Values and Modular Forms (H Gangl et al.); Type Numbers and Linear Relations of Theta Series for Some General Orders of Quaternion Algebras (K Hashimoto); Skewholomorphic Jacobi Forms of Higher Degree (S Hayashida); A Hermitian Analog of the Schottky Form (M Hentschel & A Krieg); The Siegel Series and Spherical Functions on O(2n)/(O(n) x O(n)) (Y Hironaka & F Sati); Koecher-Maa Series for Real Analytic Siegel Eisenstein Series (T Ibukiyama & H Katsurada); A Short History on Investigation of the Special Values of Zeta and L-Functions of Totally Real Number Fields (T Ishii & T Oda); Genus Theta Series, Hecke Operators and the Basis Problem for Eisenstein Series (H Katsurada & R Schulze-Pillot); The Quadratic Mean of Automorphic L-Functions (W Kohnen et al.); Inner Product Formula for Kudla Lift (A Murase & T Sugano); On Certain Automorphic Forms of Sp(1,q) (Arakawa's Results and Recent Progress) (H Narita); On Modular Forms for the Paramodular Group (B Roberts & R Schmidt); SL(2,Z)-Invariant Spaces Spanned by Modular Units (N-P Skoruppa & W Eholzer).
