automorphic forms
In harmonic analysis and number theory, an automorphic form is a well-behaved function from a topological group ''G'' to the complex numbers (or complex vector space) which is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup \Gamma \subset G of ...

Research
Together with
Stephen Rallis and
David Ginzburg, Soudry wrote a series of papers about automorphic descent culminating in their book ''The descent map from automorphic representations of GL(''n'') to classical groups.'' Their automorphic descent method constructs an explicit inverse map to the (standard)
Langlands functorial lift and has had major applications to the analysis of functoriality. Also, using the "Rallis tower property" from Rallis's 1984 paper on the
Howe duality conjecture, they studied global exceptional correspondences and found new examples of functorial lifts.
