TLDR
A survey of the Rankin-Selberg method for modular forms can be found in this article, where Rankin and Selberg introduced a new tool into the study of cusp forms, which is known as the rankin-selberg method and gave the functional equation of a new kind of Euler product, and new estimates for the Fourier coefficients.
Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter presents a survey of the Rankin-Selberg method. The earliest applications of the Rankin-Selberg method were to the estimation of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. The Rankin-Selberg method gives an improvement over the “trivial estimate”.. Hecke introduced operators on cusp forms for each p that play a role similar to the Laplacian. These operators are self-adjoint and mutually commutative, hence might be simultaneously diagonalized. Rankin and, independently at around the same time, Selberg introduced a new tool into the study of cusp forms, which is known as the Rankin-Selberg method. This gives the functional equation of a new kind of Euler product, and gives new estimates for the Fourier coefficients.

On Modular Forms of Half Integral Weight

Goro Shimura
TL;DR: In this article, the connection of modular forms with zeta functions was clarified, and a more affirmative aspect of the subject was revealed, which might have given a rather negative and somewhat misleading impression that one would not be able to do much except in some special cases.

Modular Forms of Half Integral Weight

TL;DR: The Dedekind eta function and the theta function θ as discussed by the authors satisfy the automorphic factor (cz + d)k/2 with a positive odd integer k. (For some practical reasons, we take \( e^{2\pi in^2 z} \) instead of the usual \( e^{\pi in √ 2 z} in the definition of θ.)
