The Lefschetz formula for the action of a Hecke correspondence on the weighted cohomology of a locally symmetric space is derived. It is also proven that each Hecke correspondence on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification of the locally symmetric space is weakly hyperbolic.
We express the discrete noncuspidal terms in the spectral side of the trace formula for GL(2) in terms of orbital integrals, obtaining a geometric expansion for the cuspidal part of the trace formula. Assuming the Ramanujan conjecture for GL(2), this is equal to the tempered part of the trace formula, providing an alternate approach to the method of Frenkel-Langlands-Ngo in the context of Beyond Endoscopy. Using this, we establish a formula which in principle leads to an $r$-trace formula, and conclude with some remarks regarding the primitivization of the trace formula.
We investigate the alternating sum of the l-adic cohomology of the Rapoport-Zink tower for GSp(4) by the Lefschetz trace formula. Under some assumptions on L-packets of GSp(4) and its inner form, we observe that the local Jacquet-Langlands correspondence appears in the cohomology.
Following our joint work arXiv:1003.4578 with Robert Langlands, we make the first steps toward developing geometric methods for analyzing trace formulas in the case of the function field of a curve defined over a finite field. We also suggest a conjectural framework of geometric trace formulas for curves defined over the complex field, which exploits the categorical version of the geometric Langlands correspondence.
This paper begins a new approach to the $r$-trace formula, without removing the nontempered contribution to the spectral side. We first establish an invariant trace formula whose discrete spectral terms are weighted by automorphic $L$-functions. This involves extending the results of Finis, Lapid, and Müller on the continuity of the coarse expansion of Arthur's noninvariant trace formula to the refined expansion, and then to the invariant trace formula, while incorporating the use of basic functions at unramified places.
Let $G$ be a connected quasi-split reductive group over $\mathbb{R}$, and more generally, a quasi-split $K$-group over $\mathbb{R}$. Arthur had obtained the formal formula for the spectral side of the stable local trace formula, by using formal substitute of Langlands parameters. In this paper, we construct the spectral side of the stable trace formula and endoscopy trace formula directly for quasi-split $K$-groups over $\mathbb{R}$, by incorporating the works of Shelstad. In particular we give the explicit expression for the spectral side of the stable local trace formula, in terms of Langlan…
We establish endoscopic and stable trace formulas whose discrete spectral terms are weighted by automorphic $L$-functions, by the use of basic functions that are incorporated into the global spectral and geometric coefficients. This is a continuation of a previous work of the author which established the corresponding weighted invariant trace formula for noncompactly supported test functions. The meromorphic continuation of these weighted trace formulas would yield $r$-trace formulas, and can therefore be seen as precursors to them. Along the way, we formulate a weighted form of the Langlands-…
The author derives an expression for one side of the local relative trace formula, at the level of Lie algebras, by combining methods of Arthur and Harish-Chandra with the structure theory for reductive symmetric spaces.
A new approach to the Selberg trace formula, and more precisely to its spectral side, is developed. The approach relies on a notion of "Plancherel decomposition" of "asymptotically finite functions", and may generalize to obtain a general relative trace formula. This is an incomplete first version that will be complemented by an account of the invariant trace formula.
In this paper an integral transform between spaces of nonstandard test functions on the affine space of dimension n is constructed. The integral transform satisfies a summation formula of Poisson type, which is derived from an analogue of the Arthur-Selberg trace formula for the Lie algebra of n by n matrices.
A formula for the partial trace of a full symmetrizer is obtained. The formula is used to provide an inductive proof of the well-known formula for the dimension of a full symmetry class of tensors.
For the group G=PGL_2 we perform a comparison between two relative trace formulas: on one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient T\backslash G/T, where T is a non-trivial torus, and on the other the Kuznetsov trace formula (involving Whittaker periods), applied to non-standard test functions. This gives a new proof of the celebrated result of Waldspurger on toric periods, and suggests a new way of comparing trace formulas, with some analogies to Langlands' "Beyond Endoscopy" program.
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 $G$.
For the group G = PGL(2) we prove nonstandard matching and the fundamental lemma between two relative trace formulas: on one hand, the relative trace formula of Jacquet for the quotient T\G/T, where T is a nontrivial torus; on the other, the Kuznetsov trace formula with nonstandard test functions. The matching is nonstandard in the sense that orbital integrals are related to each other not one-by-one, but via an explicit integral transform. These results will be used in the sequel to compare the corresponding global trace formulas and reprove the celebrated result of Waldspurger on toric perio…
In this article, we investigate the alternating sum of the l-adic cohomology of the Lubin-Tate tower by the Lefschetz trace formula. Our method gives slightly stronger results than in the preceding work of Strauch.
We establish an invariant local trace formula for the tangent space of some symmetric spaces over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. These symmetric spaces are studied in Guo-Jacquet trace formulae and our methods are inspired by works of Waldspurger and Arthur. Some other results are given during the proof including a noninvariant local trace formula, Howe's finiteness for weighted orbital integrals and the representability of the Fourier transform of weighted orbital integrals. These local results are prepared for the comparison of regular semi-simple terms, which are weig…
We study the linear periods on $GL_{2n}$ twisted by a character using a new relative trace formula. We establish the relative fundamental lemma and the transfer of orbital integrals. Together with the spectral isolation technique of Beuzart-Plessis--Liu--Zhang--Zhu, we are able to compare the elliptic part of the relative trace formulae and to obtain new results generalizing Waldspurger's theorem in the $n=1$ case.
In this paper we study the absolute convergence of the spectral side of the Arthur trace formula. We reduce the problem of the absolute convergence to a problem about local components of automorphic representations. The latter problem can be settled for GL(n).
We present a strategy to use the stable trace formula to compute growth in the cohomology of cocompact arithmetic lattices in a reductive group $G$. We then implement it in the case where $G = U(2,1)$, using results of Rogwaski. This recovers a result of Marshall.
We study local multiplicities associated to the so-called generalized Shalika models. By establishing a local trace formula for these kind of models, we are able to prove a multiplicity formula for discrete series. As a result, we can show that these multiplicities are constant over every discrete Vogan $L$-packet and that they are related to local exterior square $L$-functions.
