Abstract:
In the 1980s, Zagier and Jacquet and Zagier tried to derive the Selberg trace formula by applying the Rankin–Selberg method to the automorphic kernel function. Their derivation was incomplete due to a puzzle of the computation of a residue. We solve this puzzle and complete the derivation. The main input is an extension of the theory of regularized integrals invented by Zagier, which is of independent interest.References
