Abstract:We derive the functional equation of the symmetric-square $L$-function for level-one holomorphic cusp forms and even Hecke--Maass cusp forms directly from Petersson and Kuznetsov trace formulas. The argument inserts the symmetric-square coefficients into the spectral side, applies Poisson summation in a quadratic variable on the geometric side, and uses a Weber--Schafheitlin calculation to identify the archimedean transform. This gives an averaged symmetric-square Voronoi identity. Combined with Mellin inversion and a spectral separation argument, this recovers the functional equation, while the singular discriminant supplies the diagonal correction. In the Maass case the identity naturally involves the full Kuznetsov spectrum, including the Eisenstein contribution.
