“…Presumably, this infinite product is structurally similar to the denominator of the character of an irreducible highest-weight g(A)-module, which converges on the interior of the complexified Tits cone of W. Thus the constant term would be meromorphic on X * 0 , and by a well-known principle, the minimal parabolic Eisenstein series should have meromorphic continuation to the same domain. However, developing the Langlands-Shahidi method in the context of Kac-Moody groups is quite problematic at the moment, a serious obstacle in doing so being the lack of an adequate integration theory over the relevant unipotent radicals allowing us to transfer the "meromorphy property" from an Eisenstein series to its Whittaker coefficients; see [20] and the reference therein for specific information in the special case of Eisenstein series on loop groups. Nonetheless, in some special cases, it is possible to obtain the meromorphic continuation of the corresponding Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series more directly (see, for example, [8], [40], and especially the forthcoming manuscripts [14], [15], where the conjecture is proved in the important case of untwisted Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series of type D (1) 4 over rational function fields).…”
