Event description:
An important result of Waldspurger relates central values of quadratic base change L-functions of cusp forms on GL(2) to period integrals over the corresponding tori. This result was reproved by Jacquet using the relative trace formula. In this talk I will discuss joint work with Kimball Martin and David Whitehouse on extending Jacquet’s approach to Waldspurger’s result to higher rank groups.
