We obtain some basic partial differential operators connected with nonholomorphic automorphic forms on $Γ\backslash U(2, 1)/K$. We give the corresponding Eisenstein series of weight $k$ and automorphic Green functions of weight $k$. Moreover, we get the product formulas connected with them. As a consequence of the product formulas, we give the functional equations of Eisenstein series associated to a convex cocompact subgroup of U(2,1).
In this paper, we formulate conjectural formulas for the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on unitary Shimura varieties with minuscule parahoric level structure. Also, we prove that these conjectures are compatible with all known results.
In this work we shall generalize the Selberg trace formula to a non-unitary finite-dimensional complex representation $χ:Γ\rightarrow\operatorname{GL}(V)$ of a uniform lattice $Γ$ of a real Lie group $G$.
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 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.
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 establish an explicit Plancherel decomposition for $\mathrm{GL}_n(F)\backslash \mathrm{GL}_n(E)$ where $E/F$ is a quadratic extension of local fields of characteristic zero by making use of a local functional equation for Asai $γ$-factors. We also give two applications of this Plancherel formula: first to the global Ichino-Ikeda conjecture for unitary groups by completing a comparison between local relative characters that was left open by W. Zhang and secondly to the Hiraga-Ichino-Ikeda conjecture on formal degrees in the case of unitary groups.
In this note, we construct canonical bases for the spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms with poles supported at the cusp $\infty$ for $Γ_{0}(4)$ of integral weight $k$ for $k\leq-1$, and we make use of the basis elements for the case $k=-1$ to construct explicit Borcherds products on unitary group $U(2,1)$.
In this paper we study the cohomology of PEL-type Rapoport-Zink spaces associated to unramified unitary similitude groups over $\Q_p$ in an odd number of variables. We extend the results of Kaletha-Minguez-Shin-White to construct a local Langlands correspondence for these groups and prove an averaging formula relating the cohomology of Rapport-Zink spaces to this correspondence. We use this formula to prove the Kottwitz conjecture for the groups we consider.
We consider the local multiplicity problems of the analogy of the Ginzburg-Rallis model for the unitary group and the unitary similitude group cases. For the unitary similitude group case, by proving a local trace formula for the model, we are able to prove a multiplicity formula for all tempered representations, which implies that the summation of the multiplicities is equal to $1$ over every tempered local Vogan $L$-packet. For the unitary group case, we also prove a multiplicity formula for all tempered representations which implies that the summation of the multiplicities is equal to $2$ o…
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 provide a construction of the multiplicative Borcherds lift for unitary groups U(1,m), which takes weakly holomorphic elliptic modular forms and lifts them to meromorphic automorphic forms having infinite product expansions and taking their zeros and poles along Heegner divisors. The result is obtained through the transfer of Borcherds' theory to unitary groups via a suitable embedding of U(1,m) into O(2,2m). Further, we examine the values taken by the Borcherds products around the cusps of the symmetric domain of the unitary group. Finally, as an application of the lifting, we derive a mod…
We prove an explicit degree formula for certain unitary Deligne-Lusztig varieties. Combining with an alternative degree formula in terms of Schubert calculus, we deduce several algebraic combinatorial identities which may be of independent interest.
For a discrete subgroup of an indefinite unitary group $U(1,n+1)$, $n\geq 1$, consider the attached modular variety. Using local Borcherds products, we study Heegner divisors in the local Picard group over a boundary component the compactified variety. We obtain a criterion for local Heegner divisors to be torsion elements in the local Picard group. As an application, we find that the obstructions for a local Heegner divisor to be a torsion element can be described through spaces of vector valued elliptic cusp forms spanned by certain theta-series.
In this paper we show that certain Shimura varieties, uniformized by the product of complex unit balls, can be p-adically uniformized by the product (of equivariant coverings) of Drinfeld upper half-spaces. We also extend a p-adic uniformization to automorphic vector bundles. It is a continuation of our previous work [V], and contains all cases (up to a central modification) of a uniformization by known p-adic symmetric spaces. The idea of the proof is to show that an arithmetic quotient of the product of Drinfeld upper half-spaces cannot be anything else than a certain unitary Shimura variety…
We study some tempered endoscopic cases of Langlands functoriality on the $n$-variable unitary groups via the simple stable trace formula. This extends previous work of Rogawski and Clozel-Harris-Labesse. Ramakrishnan and Kim-Shahidi have proved the existence of the automorphic tensor product for $GL_2 \times GL_2$ and $GL_2 \times GL_3$. We apply our endoscopic results to, in a sense, "lift" these theorems and deduce the existence of the automorphic tensor product for the quasi-split unitary groups $U^*_2 \times U^*_2$ and $U^*_2 \times U^*_3$. We then formulate the notion of overconvergent L…
Lapid and Mao formulated a conjecture on an explicit formula of Whittaker Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on quasi-split classical groups and metaplectic groups as an analogue of Ichino-Ikeda conjecture. They also showed that this conjecture is reduced to a certain local identity in the case of unitary groups. In this paper, we study even unitary group case. Indeed, we prove this local identity over $p$-adic fields. Further, we prove an equivalence between this local identity and a refined formal degree conjecture over any local field of characteristic zero. As a consequence, we prov…
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.
For cofinite Kleinian groups, with finite-dimensional unitary representations, we derive the Selberg trace formula. As an application we define the corresponding Selberg zeta-function and compute its divisor, thus generalizing results of Elstrodt, Grunewald and Mennicke to non-trivial unitary representations. We show that the presence of cuspidal elliptic elements sometimes adds ramification point to the zeta function. In fact, if D is the ring of Eisenstein integers, then the Selberg zeta-function of PSL(2,D) contains ramification points.

In this article we compute the mass associated to any unimodular lattice in a Hermitian space over an arbitrary CM field under a condition at 2. We study the geometry and arithmetic of the basic locus of the GU(r,s)-Shimura variety associated to an imaginary quadratic field modulo a good prime p>2. We give explicit formulas for the numbers of irreducible and connected components of the basic locus, and of points of the zero-dimensional Ekedahl-Oort (EO) stratum, as well as of the irreducible components of basic EO strata when the signature is either (1, n-1) or (2,2).
The goal of this paper is to provide a refinement of a formula proved by the first author which expresses some critical values of automorphic $L$-functions on unitary groups as Petersson norms of automorphic forms. Here we provide a Galois equivariant version of the formula. We also give some applications to special values of automorphic representations of $\GL_{n}\times\GL_{1}$. We show that our results are compatible with Deligne's conjecture.
We give a formula for the class number of an arbitrary CM algebraic torus over $\mathbb{Q}$. This is proved based on results of Ono and Shyr. As applications, we give formulas for numbers of polarized CM abelian varieties, of connected components of unitary Shimura varieties and of certain polarized abelian varieties over finite fields. We also give a second proof of our main result.
