The Chowla-Selberg Method for Fourier Expansion of Higher Rank Eisenstein Series

Canadian mathematical bulletin, Tome 28 (1985) no. 3, pp. 280-294

Résumé

The terms of maximal rank in Fourier expansions of Eisenstein series for GL(n, Z) are obtained by an analogue of a method of Chowla and Selberg. The coefficients involve matrix analogues of divisor functions as well as K-Bessel functions for GL(n). The discussion involves a few properties of Hecke operators.
