We study the Siegel-Weil formula in the second term range ($n+1\leq m\leq n+r$) for unitary groups of hermitian forms over a skew-field $D$ with involution of the second kind.
In this paper, we establish the second term identity of the Siegel-Weil formula in full generality, and derive the Rallis inner product formula for global theta lifts for any dual pair. As a corollary, we resolve the non-vanishing problem of global theta lifts initiated by Steve Rallis.
We show a Siegel-Weil formula in the setting of exceptional theta correspondence. Using this, together with a new Rankin-Selberg integral for the Spin L-function of $PGSp_6$ discovered by A. Pollack, we prove that a cuspidal representation of $PGSp_6$ is a (weak) functorial lift from the exceptional group $G_2$ if its (partial) Spin L-function has a pole at $s=1$.
Following W.T.Gan and S.Takeda, we obtain a weak second term identity of the regularized Siegel-Weil formula for the unitary dual pair $(U(n,n),U(V))$, where $V$ is a split hermitian space of dimension $2r$ with $r+1 \leq n \leq 2r-1$. As an application, we obtain a Rallis inner product formula for theta lifts from $U(W)$ to $U(V)$ for a skew-hermitian space $W$ of dimension $n$.
We prove the higher Siegel--Weil formula for \emph{corank one} terms, relating (1) the $r^{\rm th}$ central derivatives of corank one Fourier coefficients of Siegel--Eisenstein series, and (2) the degrees of special cycles of virtual dimension 0 on the moduli stack of Hermitian shtukas with $r$ legs. Notably, the formula holds for all $r$, regardless of the order of vanishing of the Eisenstein series. This extends earlier work of Feng--Yun--Zhang, who proved the higher Siegel--Weil formula for the non-singular (corank zero) terms.
We formulate and prove a local arithmetic Siegel--Weil formula for GSpin Rapoport--Zink spaces, which is a precise identity between the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on GSpin Rapoport--Zink spaces and the derivatives of local representation densities of quadratic forms. As a first application, we prove a semi-global arithmetic Siegel--Weil formula as conjectured by Kudla, which relates the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on GSpin Shimura varieties at a place of good reduction and the central derivatives of nonsingular Fourier coefficients of incoherent Sie…
We proved a new Siegel-Weil formula for orthogonal and symplectic groups, which will be used later to prove a generalization of Siegel-Weil formula for loop groups.
In this paper, we propose a formula relating certain residues of Eisenstein series on symplectic groups. These Eisenstein series are attached to parabolic data coming from Speh representations. The proposed formula bears a strong similarity to the regularized Siegel-Weil formula, established by Kudla and Rallis for symplectic-orthogonal dual pairs. Their work was later generalized by Ikeda, Moeglin, Ichino, Yamana, Gan-Qiu-Takeda and others.
We derive a (weak) second term identity for the regularized Siegel-Weil formula for the even orthogonal group, which is used to obtain a Rallis inner product formula in the "second term range". As an application, we show the following non-vanishing result of global theta lifts from orthogonal groups. Let $π$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of an orthogonal group $O(V)$ with $\dim V=m$ even and $r+1\leq m\leq 2r$. Assume further that there is a place $v$ such that $π_v\congπ_v\otimes\det$. Then the global theta lift of $π$ to $Sp_{2r}$ does not vanish up to twisting by automorphic dete…
In this paper, we define the concept of Jacobi forms of half-integral weight using Takase's automorohic factor of weight 1/2 for a two-fold covering group of the symplectic group on the Siegel upper half plane and find covariant maps for the Schroedinger-Weil representation. Using these covariant maps, we construct Jacobi forms of half-integral weight with respect to an arithmetic subgroup of the Jacobi group.
We form a generating series of regularized volumes of intersections of special cycles on a non-compact unitary Shimura variety with a fixed base change cycle. We show that it is a Hilbert modular form by identifying it with a theta integral, which we show converges even though the parameters lie outside the classical convergence range of Weil. By applying the regularized Siegel-Weil formulas of Ichino and Gan-Qiu-Takeda, we show the modular form is the restriction of a hermitian modular form of degree n related to Siegel Eisenstein series on U(n,n). An essential fact used is a computation show…
We construct explicit local systems on the affine line in characteristic $p>2$, whose geometric monodromy groups are the finite symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ for all $n \ge 2$, and others whose geometric monodromy groups are the special unitary groups $SU_n(q)$ for all odd $n \ge 3$, and $q$ any power of $p$, in their total Weil representations. One principal merit of these local systems is that their associated trace functions are one-parameter families of exponential sums of a very simple, i.e., easy to remember, form. We also exhibit hypergeometric sheaves on $G_m$, whose geometric monodro…
We find the irreducible decomposition of the Weil representation of the unitary group $\mathrm{U}_{2n}(A)$, where $A$ is a ramified quadratic extension of a finite, commutative, local, principal ideal ring $R$ and the nilpotency degree of the maximal ideal of $A$ is odd. We show in particular that this Weil representation is multiplicity free. Restriction to the special unitary group $\mathrm{SU}_{2n}(A)$ preserves irreducibility and multiplicity freeness provided $n>1$.
We find all irreducible constituents of the Weil representation of a unitary group $U_m(A)$ of rank $m$ associated to a ramified quadratic extension $A$ of a finite, commutative, local and principal ring $R$ of odd characteristic. We show that this Weil representation is multiplicity free with monomial irreducible constituents. We also find the number of these constituents and describe them in terms of Clifford theory with respect to a congruence subgroup. We find all character degrees in the special case when $R$ is a field.
Let ${\mathcal O}$ be an involutive discrete valuation ring with residue field of characteristic not 2. Let $A$ be a quotient of ${\mathcal O}$ by a nonzero power of its maximal ideal and let $*$ be the involution that $A$ inherits from ${\mathcal O}$. We consider various unitary groups ${\mathcal U}_m(A)$ of rank $m$ over $A$, depending on the nature of $*$ and the equivalence type of the underlying hermitian or skew hermitian form. Each group ${\mathcal U}_m(A)$ gives rise to a Weil representation. In this paper, we give a Clifford theory description of all irreducible components of the Weil…
In our previous paper [math.NT/0408050], we established a correspondence between vector-valued holomorphic Siegel modular forms and cohomology with local coefficients for local symmetric spaces $X$ attached to real orthogonal groups of type $(p,q)$. This correspondence is realized using theta functions associated to explicitly constructed "special" Schwartz forms. Furthermore, the theta functions give rise to generating series of certain "special cycles" in $X$ with coefficients. In this paper, we study the boundary behaviour of these theta functions in the non-compact case and show that the t…
We compute the irreducible constitutents of the product of the Weil character and the Steinberg character in those finite classical groups for which a Weil character is defined, namely the symplectic, unitary and general linear groups. It turns out that this product is multiplicity free for the symplectic and general unitary groups, but not for the general linear groups. As an application we show that the restriction of the Steinberg character of such a group to the subgroup stabilizing a vector in the natural module is multiplicity free. The proof of this result for the unitary groups uses an…
We study the holomorphic unitary representations of the Jacobi group based on Siegel-Jacobi domains. Explicit polynomial orthonormal bases of the Fock spaces based on the Siegel-Jacobi disk are obtained. The scalar holomorphic discrete series of the Jacobi group for the Siegel-Jacobi disk is constructed and polynomial orthonormal bases of the representation spaces are given.
In this article we construct Weil representations of quasi-split unitary groups $U(n,n)(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}/\mathbb{F}_q)$ associated to quadratic extensions of finite fields. We define these representations by using an adequate presentation Bruhat like of those groups. More precisely, we define Weil representations of $U(n,n)(\mathbb{F}_{q^2}/\mathbb{F}_q)$ associating to each generator a linear map of a suitable $\mathbb{C}$-vector space satisfying the relations of the aforementioned presentation. In addition, we also address the natural question on the compatibility of our representation of $U…
We construct a complex linear Weil representation $ρ$ of the generalized special linear group $G={\rm SL}_*^{1}(2,A_n)$ ($A_n=K[x]/\langle x^n\rangle$, $K$ the quadratic extension of the finite field $k$ of $q$ elements, $q$ odd), where $A_n$ is endowed with a second class involution. After the construction of a specific data, the representation is defined on the generators of a Bruhat presentation of $G$, via linear operators satisfying the relations of the presentation. The structure of a unitary group $U$ associated to $G$ is described. Using this group we obtain a first decomposition of $ρ…
Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field of characteristic 0, and let $M$ be an $F$-Levi subgroup of a connected reductive $F$-split group such that $Π_{i=1}^{r} SL_{n_i} \subseteq M \subseteq Π_{i=1}^{r} GL_{n_i}$ for positive integers $r$ and $n_i$. We prove that the Plancherel measure for any unitary supercuspidal representation of $M(F)$ is identically transferred under \textit{the local Jacquet-Langlands type correspondence} between $M$ and its $F$-inner forms, assuming a working hypothesis that Plancherel measures are invariant on a certain set. This work extends the result of Mui{ć} and Savin (2000)…
Let $B$ be a ring, not necessarily commutative, having an involution $*$ and let ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ be the unitary group of rank $2m$ associated to a hermitian or skew hermitian form relative to $*$. When $B$ is finite, we construct a Weil representation of ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$ via Heisenberg groups and find its explicit matrix form on the Bruhat elements. As a consequence, we derive information on generalized Gauss sums. On the other hand, there is an axiomatic method to define a Weil representation of ${\mathrm U}_{2m}(B)$, and we compare the two Weil representations thus obtained under …
Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic 0. Let $D$ be the unique quaternion division algebra over $F$ and fix an embedding of $E$ to $D$. Then, $\mathrm{GL}_m(D)$ can be regarded as a subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_{2m}(E)$. Using the method of Matringe, we classify irreducible generic $\mathrm{GL}_m(D)$-distinguished representations of $\mathrm{GL}_{2m}(E)$ in terms of Zelevinsky classification. Rewriting the classification in terms of corresponding representations of the Weil-Deligne group of $E$, we prove a sufficient condition for a generic representa…
It is known that for a dual pair of unitary groups with equal size, zeta integrals arising from Rallis inner product formula give the central values of certain automorphic L-functions, which have applications to arithmetic. In this paper we explicitly calculate archimedean zeta integrals of this type for U(2,1). In particular we compute the matrix coefficients of Weil representations using joint harmonics in the Fock model, and those of discrete series using Schmid operators.
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a new method for evaluating the multiplicity of a given discrete series in the space of level $1$ automorphic forms of a split classical group $G$ over $\mathbb{Z}$, and provide numerical applications in absolute rank $\leq 8$. Second, we prove a classification result for the level one cuspidal algebraic automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ ($n$ arbitrary) whose motivic weight is $\leq 24$. In both cases, a key ingredient is a classical method based on the Weil explicit formula, which allows to disprove the existenc…
