Research

Together with
Stephen Rallis Stephen James Rallis (May 17, 1942 – April 17, 2012) was an American mathematician who worked on group representations, automorphic forms, the Siegel–Weil formula, and Langlands program, Langlands L-functions. Career Rallis received a B.A. in ...
and David Ginzburg, Soudry wrote a series of papers about automorphic descent culminating in their book ''The descent map from automorphic representations of GL(''n'') to classical groups.'' Their automorphic descent method constructs an explicit inverse map to the (standard) Langlands functorial lift and has had major applications to the analysis of functoriality. Also, using the "Rallis tower property" from Rallis's 1984 paper on the Howe duality conjecture, they studied global exceptional correspondences and found new examples of functorial lifts.W.T.
