Abstract
We present a pairing of automorphic distributions that applies in situations where a Lie group acts with an open orbit on a product of generalized flag varieties. The pairing gives meaning to an integral of products of automorphic distributions on these varieties. This generalizes classical integral representations or “Rankin–Selberg integrals” of L-functions, and gives new constructions and analytic continuations of automorphic L-functions.
