Zeta Functions of Certain Quadratic Orders

Abstract

Langlands provides a formula for certain product of orbital integrals in $GL(2, \mathbb{Q})$. Its generalization has become an important question for the strategy of Beyond Endoscopy. Arthur predicts this formula should coincide with a product of polynomials associated to zeta functions of orders constructed by Zhiwei Yun. In this paper we compute, for a certain family of orders, explicit formulas for these zeta functions by a recursive method. We use these zeta functions in a further paper to prove that Arthur's prediction is correct.
