Event description:
I will discuss some examples of coincidences between zeta functions of prehomogeneous vector spaces and Whittaker functions of Eisenstein series on metaplectic double covers of linear groups. I will also describe some applications to number theory and suggest prospects for further study. This is a joint work with T. Taniguchi (Kobe).
