Aims

This conference aims to bring together leading experts in the vital area of automorphic forms and their L-functions, which enjoyed a lot of progress in the last couple of years. A paradigmatic example for this development - to which the word "new directions" in the meeting's title alludes - is the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture (local and global). Just within the last couple of years a lot of exciting results on its local version have been estabilshed in breakthrough work; whereas its global variant has been subject to a series of interesting refinements, such as of Ichino-Ikeda, Neil Harris and most recently Liu. Being (partly) financed by H. Grobner's 2016 START-prize "Special L-values and p-adic L-functions", this conference seeks to shed some new light on the topics raised in this triangle of research.
