AMS-02 is an astrophysical experiment embarked on the International Space Station since 2011, designed to measure the fluxes of cosmic rays arriving at the Earth. AMS-02 has detected a significant excess in the positron flux at Earth that is inconsistent with the production of positrons in collisions of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. This thesis addresses the viability of a scalar two-component dark matter in the context of the AMS-02 measurements of positrons and antiprotons. Astrophysical alternatives to dark matter are briefly discusses, namely pulsars.

This volume investigates the interplay between the classical theory of automorphic forms and the modern theory of representations of adele groups. Interpreting important recent contributions of Jacquet and Langlands, the author presents new and previously inaccessible results, and systematically develops explicit consequences and connections with the classical theory. The underlying theme is the decomposition of the regular representation of the adele group of GL(2). A detailed proof of the celebrated trace formula of Selberg is included, with a discussion of the possible range of applicability of this formula. Throughout the work the author emphasizes new examples and problems that remain open within the general theory.TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. The Classical Theory 2.
