Extract

Before stating the main theorem, we would like to recall the basic properties of the “zeta-functions” attached to cusp forms on SL (2, ℤ). Let k be an even integer ≥ 12 and f a cusp form of weight k on SL (2, ℤ) with q-expansion We shall assume that c1 = 1, and that f is an eigenfunction of the Hecke operators. Define φ(s) as the Dirichlet series The series and the product

over the primes are equal and absolutely convergent for Re (S) > ½(k + 1).
