Abstract:
The ``spin' L-function of an automorphic representation of is an Euler product of degree associated with the spin representation of the L-group . If or , and the automorphic representation is generic in the sense of having a Whittaker model, the analytic properties of these L-functions are studied by the Rankin-Selberg method.
