This volume is a collection of papers dedicated to James Cogdell on the occasion of his 60th birthday and was initiated after the workshop “Advances in the Theory of Automorphic Forms and Their L–functions” was held in his honor at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute (ESI) of the University of Vienna during the period October 16-25, 2013. Members of organizing committee were Dihua Jiang, Peter Sarnak, Joachim Schwermer and Freydoon Shahidi. A good number of authors are among those who spoke during the workshop. But there are papers from others whose work are related to or are influenced by Cogdell’s work.Cogdell’s work spans a period of 30 years and includes fundamental contributions to the theory of automorphic forms and L–functions, as well as number theory. Among his most influential work are his collaborations with Ilya Piatetski–Shapiro on establishing highly flexible and useful converse theorems which have led to striking new results on Langlands functoriality principle, with deep consequences in number theory including new bounds towards the Ramanujan conjecture, at the turn of this century. This was done either through direct contributions of the two of them, together with Kim and Shahidi in the case of classical groups, or indirectly as a consequence of their converse theorems in establishing important cases of functoriality for symmetric powers of GL (2) in the work of the latter two of the authors. These cases of functoriality are not available from any other approach. Cogdell’s contributions to the direct theory of L–functions are also quite profound and have led to a better understanding of Hecke theory for Rankin–Selberg
