Springer Proceedings in Mathematics

The book series will feature volumes of selected contributions from workshops and conferences in all areas of current research activity in mathematics. Besides an overall evaluation, at the hands of the publisher, of the interest, scientific quality, and timeliness of each proposal, every individual contribution will be refereed to standards comparable to those of leading mathematics journals. It is hoped that this series will thus propose to the research community well-edited and authoritative reports on newest developments in the most interesting and promising areas of mathematical research today.

Foreword

Few mathematicians in Germany in the last 30 years have influenced analytic number theory as much and as deeply as Samuel Patterson. His impressive genealogy is only one of the results of his active mathematical career. Many of the articles in this volume have been presented at the conference “Patterson 60++” at the University of G¨ottingen in July 2009 on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The conference featured four generations of mathematicians including Patterson’s children and grandchildren as well as his own advisor Prof. Alan F. Beardon who did not miss the opportunity to contribute an enjoyable and lively talk to the many mathematical birthday presents. The articles in this volume reflect Patterson’s manifold interests ranging from classical analytic number theory and exponential sums via automorphic forms on metaplectic groups to measure-theoretic as
