Abstract
Our monograph is mainly devoted to the theory of nonanalytic automorphic functions* which are transcendental objects to the greater degree than the classical analytic automorphic functions or forms. However, it may be useful here to recall certain objective reasons that forced the classics to create the basis of automorphic functions. We selected here three classical theorems (more precisely, three fragments of theories), and in each of them automorphic functions play a central role, solving problems that have appeared in other fields of mathematics. For detailed proof and comments, we refer the reader to Chapter 13 where we give the necessary references.
