Criminals : my family's life on both sides of the law
\"The Siegels of New York are a singular creation--quirky, idealistic, shaped in large part by Siegel's father, ... a criminal defense attorney who loved his drug-dealing clients a little too much and went to prison as a result. Siegel's mother decided to pour her energies into making her children refined, art-loving mavens of fine dining in international settings ... Once out of prison, Siegel's father struggled with depression, attempting to re-enter legal practice with age and finances nipping at [his] heels. Robert, as a son and later as an author, attempts to put all of these pieces together to make a coherent shape of family before realizing perhaps no such thing exists\"-- Provided by publisher.

To dance : a memoir
\"Ballerinas are young when they first dream of dance. Siena was six--and her dreams kept skipping and leaping, circling and spinning, from airy runs along a beach near her home in Puerto Rico, to dance classes at the School of American Ballet, to her debut performance on stage with the New York City Ballet while working with ballet legend George Balanchine. Part family history, part backstage drama, this beautifully updated graphic memoir--which features a refreshed design and a brand-new scrapbook of Siena's mementoes--is an original, firsthand look a young dancer's beginnings.\"--Provided by publisher.

Transfer of Siegel cusp forms of degree 2
Let \\pi be the automorphic representation of \\textrm{GSp}_4(\\mathbb{A}) generated by a full level cuspidal Siegel eigenform that is not a Saito-Kurokawa lift, and \\tau be an arbitrary cuspidal, automorphic representation of \\textrm{GL}_2(\\mathbb{A}). Using Furusawa's integral representation for \\textrm{GSp}_4\\times\\textrm{GL}_2 combined with a pullback formula involving the unitary group \\textrm{GU}(3,3), the authors prove that the L-functions L(s,\\pi\\times\\tau) are \"nice\". The converse theorem of Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro then implies that such representations \\pi have a functorial lifting to a cuspidal representation of \\textrm{GL}_4(\\mathbb{A}). Combined with the exterior-square lifting of Kim, this also leads to a functorial lifting of \\pi to a cuspidal representation of \\textrm{GL}_5(\\mathbb{A}). As an application, the authors obtain analytic properties of various L-functions related to full level Siegel cusp forms. They also obtain special value results for \\textrm{GSp}_4\\times\\textrm{GL}_1 and \\textrm{GSp}_4\\times\\textrm{GL}_2.

Higher Siegel–Weil formula for unitary groups: the non-singular terms
We construct special cycles on the moduli stack of hermitian shtukas. We prove an identity between (1) the rth central derivative of non-singular Fourier coefficients of a normalized Siegel–Eisenstein series, and (2) the degree of special cycles of “virtual dimension 0” on the moduli stack of hermitian shtukas with r legs. This may be viewed as a function-field analogue of the Kudla-Rapoport Conjecture, that has the additional feature of encompassing all higher derivatives of the Eisenstein series.

Boys of steel : the creators of Superman
Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, two misfit teens in Cleveland, were more like Clark Kent than Superman. Both boys escaped into the worlds of science fiction and pulp magazine tales. In 1934, they created the superhero, but it was four years before they convinced a publisher to take a chance on their Man of Steel in a new format--the comic book.

An exceptional Siegel–Weil formula and poles of the Spin L-function of
We show a Siegel–Weil formula in the setting of exceptional theta correspondence. Using this, together with a new Rankin–Selberg integral for the Spin L-function of$\\text{PGSp}_{6}$discovered by Pollack, we prove that a cuspidal representation of$\\text{PGSp}_{6}$is a (weak) functorial lift from the exceptional group$G_{2}$if its (partial) Spin L-function has a pole at$s=1$.

Is Superman Circumcised? The Complete Jewish History of the World's Greatest Hero by Roy Schwartz
In Is Superman Circumcised?, Russell Schwartz provides a historical overview of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's creation of the comic book character Superman, arguing that Siegel and Shuster's backgrounds in Jewish immigrants gives a particularly Jewish subtext to their character. Schwartz builds on this argument with a larger historical overview of American comic book publishing, showing how Judaism and Jewish-American immigrant experiences have informed that industry from its earliest days.
