Research Interests:
  My research interests are broadly in the Langlands Program.
  More specifically I work with representations of of p-adic and adelic groups, and their associated L-functions.
  These days I am especially interested in the arithmetic aspects of the special values of automorphic L-functions.

Notes, Surveys, Thesis:
(Disclaimer: I typed up these things for my amusement only; use them at your own risk.)

1. Ph.D. thesis. The thesis is about 100 pages. This thesis studies some
    aspects of the representation theory of GL(2,D) for a p-adic division algebra D. 

2. (Ram Murty) Lectures on Artin L-functions.
    These are the expanded version of the notes of a course Ram Murty gave in Dec '98 - Jan '99 in TIFR. (41 pages) [dvi]
    An edited version of the notes have appeared as an expository paper by Ram Murty in JRMS. The specific reference is:
    Journal of the Ramanujan Math. Soc., 16, No. 3, 261--307, (2001).

3. (With Dipendra Prasad) Representation theory of GL(n) over non-Archimedean local fields.
     These are the notes of a course given by Dipendra Prasad in the workshop
     "Automorphic forms on GL(n)" held at ICTP, Trieste, Italy in August 2000. (41 pages) [pdf]

4. (With B. Sury) Groups acting on trees. These are the notes of a course that Sury and I gave at the instructional school
     on Geometric Group Theory at IIT--Guwahati, in December 2002. Here are the notes: [pdf]

5. Quadratic reciprocity for root numbers of GL(2).   13 pages, (2004). [pdf]
     In this article I prove a certain symmetry property with some root numbers and it is quite possible that this implies the classical quadratic reciprocity.

6. One hundred exercises in basic representation theory. These are essentially the weekly homework problems
     from a course I taught at the University of Iowa in Spring 2005. [pdf]

7. Arithmetic of L-functions. This is my colloquium talk at the University of Ottawa during the Fields Institute workshop in January 2007.
     I made a powerpoint presentation which apparently some people liked! I used tex4ppt to get some math into the slides. [ppt]
