Archimedean L-factors for automorphic L-functions

I will talk about direct computation of archimedean zeta integrals for certain automorphic L-functions. By using Mellin-Barnes type integral representations of Whittaker functions, we can show the coincidence of archimedean zeta integrals and archimedean L-factors on SO(2n+1)?GL(m) (m=n,n+1). This is a joint work with Eric Stade.
