Siegel zeros of Eisenstein series

Abstract

If E(z,s) is the nonholomorphic Eisenstein series on the upper half plane, then for all y sufficiently large, E(z,s) has a "Siegel zero." That is E(z,β)=0 for a real number βjust to the left of one. We give a generalization of this result to Eisenstein series formed with real valued automorphic forms on a finite central covering of the adele points of a connected reductive algebraic group over a global field.
