Speaker: Qing Zhang

In this talk, we will discuss two integrals involving the exceptional group G2, both discovered by D. Ginzburg. The first integral gives an integral representation of the adjoint L-function of GL(3). Then I will report my recent work joint with J. Hundley on the holomorphy of adjoint L-function of GL(3). The second integral gives an integral representation of standard L-function of G2 itself. Related to this integral, we can consider a Fourier-Jacobi model for G2. I will discuss recent work joint with B. Liu on the uniqueness of such models over finite fields.
