Converse theorems for Hilbert modular forms of higher level

We prove two results on converse theorems for Hilbert modular forms of higher level over totally real fields of degree r>1. The first result recovers a Hilbert modular form (of some level) from an L-series satisfying functional equations twisted by all the Hecke characters that are unramified at all finite places. The second result assumes both the above functional equations and an Euler product, and recovers a Hilbert modular form of the expected level predicted by the shape of the functional equations.
