Abstract:Using Langlands's beyond endoscopy idea, we study the Asai $L$-function associated to a real quadratic field $\Bbb{K}/\Bbb{Q}$. We prove that the Asai $L$-function associated to a cuspidal automorphic representation over $\Bbb{K}$ has analytic continuation to the complex plane with at most a simple pole at $s=1$. We then show if the $L$-function has a pole then the representation is a base change from $\Bbb{Q}$. While this result is known using integral representations from the work of…
