In this paper, we introduce regularized trilinear periods on certain non-reductive groups. It has two direct applications. Firstly, it enables us to define the regularized Bessel periods and the regularized Fourier-Jacobi periods for all classical and metaplectic groups. Secondly, by using the properties of the regularized Fourier-Jacobi periods, we can prove one direction of the full Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture on skew-hermitian unitary groups.
We prove the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for the symplectic-metaplectic case under some assumptions. This is the last case of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures. We also prove two of Prasad's conjectures on the local theta correspondence in the almost equal rank case.
We establish the Fourier-Jacobi case of the local Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary groups, by using local theta correspondence to relate the Fourier-Jacobi case with the Bessel case established by Beuzart-Plessis. To achieve this, we prove two conjectures of D. Prasad on the precise description of the local theta correspondence for (almost) equal rank unitary dual pairs in terms of the local Langlands correspondence.
We prove the local Gross-Prasad conjecture for generic L-packets of representations of special orthogonal groups. The proof uses the same result for tempered L-packets proved in a preceding paper, and irreducibility results for the induced representations of whose the elements of the L-packets are Langlands quotients.
Under endoscopic assumptions about $L$-packets of unitary groups, we prove the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for tempered representations of unitary groups over $p$-adic fields. Roughly, this conjecture says that branching laws for $U(n-1)\subset U(n)$ can be computed using epsilon factors.
We state and prove an extension of the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture and the Ichino-Ikeda conjecture to the case of some Eisenstein series on unitary groups $U_n\times U_{n+1}$. Our theorems are based on a comparison of the Jacquet-Rallis trace formulas. A new point is the expression of some interesting spectral contributions in these formulas in terms of integrals of relative characters. As an application of our mains theorems, we prove the global Gan-Gross-Prasad and the Ichino-Ikeda conjecture for Bessel periods of unitary groups.
We introduce a new technique for isolating components on the spectral side of the trace formula. By applying it to the Jacquet--Rallis relative trace formula, we complete the proof of the global Gan--Gross--Prasad conjecture and its refinement Ichino--Ikeda conjecture for $\mathrm{U}(n)\times\mathrm{U}(n+1)$ in the stable case.
We formulate a global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for general spin groups. That is, we formulate a conjecture on a relation between periods of certain automorphic forms on $GSpin_{n+1} \times GSpin_n$ along the diagonal subgroup $GSpin_n$ and some $L$-values. To support the conjecture, we show that the conjecture holds for $n=2$ and $3$ and for certain cases for $n=4$.
Through combining the work of Jean-Loup Waldspurger (\cite{waldspurger10} and \cite{waldspurgertemperedggp}) and Raphaël Beuzart-Plessis (\cite{beuzart2015local}), we give a proof for the tempered part of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture (\cite{ggporiginal}) for special orthogonal groups over any local fields of characteristic zero, which was already proved by Waldspurger over $p$-adic fields.
Xue proved an equational refinement of the unitary Shimura curve case of the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture via the Gross-Zagier formula for quaternionic Shimura curves. On the other hand, Rapoport, Smithling and Zhang posed a variant of the conjecture, using modified PEL type Shimura varieties, which we call RSZ Shimura varieties. We reinterpret the result of Xue in terms of the modified Shimura curves. We then use the reinterpretation to prove a case of the variant of the conjecture. Our result combined with the work of Xue establishes a connection between the variant and the Gross-Z…
In this paper, we investigate the twisted GGP conjecture for certain tempered representations using the theta correspondence and establish some special cases, namely when the L-parameter of the unitary group is the sum of conjugate-dual characters of the appropriate sign.
In this paper, we prove, following earlier work of Waldspurger ([Wa1], [Wa4]), a sort of local relative trace formula which is related to the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary groups over a local field $F$ of characteristic zero. As a consequence, we obtain a geometric formula for certain multiplicities $m(π)$ appearing in this conjecture and deduce from it a weak form of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture (multiplicity one in tempered L-packets). These results were already known over $p$-adic fields and thus are only new when $F=\mathbb{R}$.
We consider irreducible unitary representations $A_i$ of G=SO(n+1,1) with the same infinitesimal character as the trivial representation and representations $B_j$ of H=SO(n,1) with the same properties and discuss H-equivariant homomorphisms Hom_H($A_i,B_j$). For tempered representations our results confirm the predictions of conjectures by B. Gross and D. Prasad.
We prove a local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture on predicting the branching law for the non-tempered representations of general linear groups in the case of non-Archimedean field. We also generalize to Bessel and Fourier-Jacobi models and study a possible generalization to Ext-branching laws.
We prove the local Gross-Prasad conjecture for tempered representations of special orthogonal groups. Roughly speaking, the conjecture says that, if sigma is an irreducible representation of SO(n) and rho is an irreducible representation of SO(n-1), rho appears as quotient of the restriction of sigma to SO(n-1) with a multiplicity m(sigma,rho) that can be computed in terms of epsilon-factors. Our proof uses results of a previous papers which computes m(sigma,rho) and the epsilon-factors by integral formulas.
We restrict a Siegel modular cusp form of degree 2 and square free level that is a Yoshida lifting (a lifting from the orthogonal group of a definite quaternion algebra) to the embedded product of two half planes and compute the Petersson product against the product of two elliptic cuspidal Hecke eigenforms. The square of this integral can be explicitly expressed in terms of the central critical value of an L-function attached to the situation. The result is related to a conjecture of Gross and Prasad about restrictions of automorphic representations of special orthogonal groups.
We study GL_2(F)-invariant periods on representations of GL_2(A), where F is a nonarchimedean local field and A/F a product of field extensions of total degree 3. For irreducible representations, a theorem of Prasad shows that the space of such periods has dimension at most 1, and is non-zero when a certain epsilon-factor condition holds. We give an extension of this result to a certain class of reducible representations (of Whittaker type), extending results of Harris--Scholl when A is the split algebra F x F x F.
Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of non-archimedean local fields of characteristic 0 and let $G=U(n)$, $H=U(m)$ be unitary groups of hermitian spaces $V$ and $W$. Assume that $V$ contains $W$ and that the orthogonal complement of $W$ is a quasisplit hermitian space (i.e. whose unitary group is quasisplit over $F$). Let $π$ and $σ$ be smooth irreducible representations of $G(F)$ and $H(F)$ respectively. Then Gan, Gross and Prasad have defined a multiplicity $m(π,σ)$ which for $m=n-1$ is just the dimension of $Hom_{H(F)}(π,σ)$. For $π$ and $σ$ tempered, we state and prove an integral formula f…
In this paper, we prove the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture and the Ichino-Ikeda conjecture for unitary groups $U_n\times U_{n+1}$ in all the endoscopic cases. Our main technical innovation is the computation of the contributions of certain cuspidal data, called $*$-generic, to the Jacquet-Rallis trace formula for linear groups. We offer two different computations of these contributions: one, based on truncation, is expressed in terms of regularized Rankin-Selberg periods of Eisenstein series and Flicker-Rallis intertwining periods. The other, built upon Zeta integrals, is expressed in terms of fu…
In this paper, we investigate the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for some pair of representations of $U(3)\times U(2)$ involving a non-generic representation. For a pair of generic $L$-parameters of $(U(n),U(n-1))$, it is known that there is a unique pair of representations in their associateed Vogan $L$-packets which produces the unique Bessel model of these $L$-parameters. We showed that this is not ture for some pair of $L$-parameters involving a non-generic one. On the other hand, we give the precise local theta correspondence for $(U(1),U(3))$ not at the level of $L$-parameters but of …
Let F be a number field, A_F its ring of adeles, and let π_n and π_{n+1} be irreducible, cuspidal, automorphic representations of SO_n(A_F) and SO_{n+1}(A_F), respectively. In 1991, Benedict Gross and Dipendra Prasad conjectured the non-vanishing of a certain period integral attached to π_n and π_{n+1} is equivalent to the non-vanishing of L(1/2, π_n x π_{n+1}). More recently, Atsushi Ichino and Tamotsu Ikeda gave a refinement of this conjecture as well as a proof of the first few cases (n = 2,3). Their conjecture gives an explicit relationship between the aforementioned L-value and period int…
On the Gross-Prasad conjecture with its refinement for $\left(\mathrm{SO}\left(5\right),\mathrm{SO}\left(2\right)\right)$ and the generalized Böcherer conjecture
We prove a conjectural formula relating the Bessel period of certain automorphic forms on $\mathrm{GSp}_4$ to a central $L$-value. This formula is proposed by Liu \cite{liu} as the refined Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for the groups $(\SO(5), \SO(2))$. The conjecture has been previously proved for certain automorphic forms on $\mathrm{GSp_4}$ from lifts. In this paper, we extend the formula to Siegel modular forms of $\Sp_4(\bZ)$.
The local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture of unitary groups, which is now settled by the works of Plessis, Gan and Ichino, says that for a pair of generic $L$-parameters of $(U(n+1),U(n))$, there is a unique pair of representations in their associated Vogan $L$-packets which produces the Bessel model. In this paper, we examined the conjecture for a pair of $L$-parameters of $\big(U(n+1), U(n)\big)$ as fixing a special non-generic parameter of $U(n+1)$ and varing tempered $L$-parameters of $U(n)$. We observed that there still exist a Gan-Gross-Prasad type formulae depending on the choice of $L$-par…
In this article, we compute the Gan-Gross-Prasad period integral of Klingen Eisenstein series over the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(m+1, n+1)$ with a cuspidal automorphic form over $\mathrm{U}(m+1, n)$, and show that it is related to certain special Rankin-Selberg $L$-values. We $p$-adically interpolate these Gan-Gross-Prasad period integrals as the Klingen Eisenstein series and the cuspidal automorphic form vary in Hida families. As a byproduct, we obtain a $p$-adic $L$-function of Rankin-Selberg type over $\mathrm{U}(m,n) \times \mathrm{U}(m+1, n)$. The ultimate motivation is to show the $p$-pr…
We prove a precise formula relating the Bessel period of certain automorphic forms on ${\rm GSp}_{4}(\mathbb{A}_{F})$ to a central $L$-value. This is a special case of the refined Gan--Gross--Prasad conjecture for the groups $({\rm SO}_{5},{\rm SO}_{2})$ as set out by Ichino--Ikeda and Liu. This conjecture is deep and hard to prove in full generality; in this paper we succeed in proving the conjecture for forms lifted, via automorphic induction, from ${\rm GL}_{2}(\mathbb{A}_{E})$ where $E$ is a quadratic extension of $F$. The case where $E=F\times F$ has been previously dealt with by Liu.
We provide a construction of local and automorphic non-tempered Arthur packets of the group SO(3,2) and its inner form SO(4,1) associated with a certain Arthur's parameter and prove a multiplicity formula. We further study the restriction of the representations in these packets to the subgroup SO(3,1). In particular, we discover that the local Gross-Prasad conjecture, formulated for generic L-packets, does not generalize naively to a non-generic A-packet. We also study the non-vanishing of the automorphic SO(3,1)-period on the group SO(4,1) x SO(3,1) and SO(3,2) x SO(3,1) for the representatio…
Let F be a non-archimedean local field, of characteristic 0. Let V be a finite dimensional vector space over F and q be a non-degenerate quadratic form on V. Denote d the dimension of V and G=SO(d) the special orthogonal group of (V,q). Let v_{0}\in V such that q(v_{0})\not=0, denote W the subspace of V orthogonal to v_{0} and H=SO(d-1) the special orthogonal group of W. Let π, resp. σ, an admissible irreducible representation of G(F), resp. H(F). Denote m(σ,π) the dimension of the complex space Hom_{H(F)}(π_{| H(F)},σ). By a theorem of Aizenbud, Gourevitch, Rallis and Schiffmann, we know that…
We prove explicit rationality-results for Asai- $L$-functions, $L^S(s,Π',{\rm As}^\pm)$, and Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions, $L^S(s,Π\timesΠ')$, over arbitrary CM-fields $F$, relating critical values to explicit powers of $(2πi)$. Besides determining the contribution of archimedean zeta-integrals to our formulas as concrete powers of $(2πi)$, it is one of the advantages of our approach, that it applies to very general non-cuspidal isobaric automorphic representations $Π'$ of ${\rm GL}_n(\mathbb A_F)$. As an application, this enables us to establish a certain algebraic version of the Gan--Gross--…
We prove a refinement of the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture proposed by Ichino-Ikeda and N. Harris for unitary groups under some local conditions. We need to assume some expected properties of L-packets and some part of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture.
In this paper, we highlight and state precisely the local Langlands correspondence for quasi-split O_{2n} established by Arthur. We give two applications: Prasad's conjecture and Gross--Prasad conjecture for O_{n}. Also, we discuss the Arthur conjecture for O_{2n}, and establish the Arthur multiplicity formula for O_{2n}.
We consider cycles on a 3-dimensional Shimura varieties attached to a unitary group, defined over extensions of a CM field $E$, which appear in the context of the conjectures of Gan, Gross, and Prasad \cite{gan-gross-prasad}. We establish a vertical distribution relation for these cycles over an anticyclotomic extension of $E$, complementing the horizontal distribution relation of \cite{jetchev:unitary}, and use this to define a family of norm-compatible cycles over these fields, thus obtaining a universal norm construction similar to the Heegner $Λ$-module constructed from Heegner points.
Methods of theta correspondence are used to analyze local and global Bessel models for $GSp(4)$ proving a conjecture of Gross and Prasad which describes these models in terms of local epsilon factors in the local case, and the non-vanishing of central critical $L$-value in the global case.
The Miyawaki liftings are defined by the pullbacks of Ikeda liftings. Recently, Ikeda and Yamana extended the theory of Ikeda liftings. In this paper, using their results, we establish a theory of Miyawaki liftings, both locally and globally. In the local theory, we describe the Miyawaki liftings for almost tempered unitary representations explicitly. In the global theory, we discuss the non-vanishing of the Miyawaki liftings using seesaw identities and the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture. As an application of local Miyawaki liftings, we prove a new case of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjec…
We define some formal moduli space of quasi-isogenies of isoclinic $p$-divisible groups with a non-reductive group as the "structure group". We then formulate new Arithmetic Fundamental Lemma conjectures for Bessel subgroups in the context of the arithmetic Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures. Some (very limited) evidence is presented.
We investigate the local descents for special orthogonal groups over p-adic local fields of characteristic zero, and obtain an explicit spectral decomposition of the local descents at the first occurrence index in terms of the local Langlands data via the explicit local Langlands correspondence and explicit calculations of relevant local root numbers. The main result can be regarded as a refinement of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture.
For automorphic representations in the nontempered cuspidal spectrum of $\mathrm{SO}_5$, we prove the refined Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture by establishing a precise Bessel period formula, in which the square of the global Bessel period is expressed as an Euler product of regularized local Bessel period integrals of matrix coefficients.
