Triple product integrals and Rankin-Selberg L-functions
We show that a certain spectral sum of the product of two triple product integrals of automorphic forms (where the first factor involves the classical theta-function, a fixed Maass cusp form $u_1$ of weight 0 and a varying Maass cusp form of weight 1/2 , and the second factor is similar, but contains another fixed Maass cusp form $u_2$ of weight 0 in place of $u_1$) can be expressed as an integral involving the Rankin-Selberg L-function of $u_1$ and $u_2$. In the special case $u_1$ = $u_2$ our formula reduces to a spectral reciprocity identity which (in slightly different form) was proved recently by Humphries-Khan ([H-K]) and Kwan ([Kw]).
