On a Certain Residual Spectrum of Sp8
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
Let $G=\text{S}{{\text{p}}_{\text{2n}}}$ be the symplectic group defined over a number field
$F$. Let
$\mathbb{A}$ be the ring of adeles. A fundamental problem in the theory of automorphic forms is to decompose the right regular representation of
$G\left( \mathbb{A} \right)$ acting on the Hilbert space
${{L}^{2}}\left( G\left( F \right)\backslash G\left( \mathbb{A} \right) \right)$. Main contributions have been made by Langlands. He described, using his theory of Eisenstein series, an orthogonal decomposition of this space of the form:
$L_{dis}^{2}\left( G\left( F \right)\backslash G\left( \mathbb{A} \right) \right)\,=\,{{\oplus }_{\left( M,\,\pi \right)}}L_{dis}^{2}{{\left( G\left( F \right)\backslash G\left( \mathbb{A} \right) \right)}_{\left( M,\,\pi \right)}},\,\text{where}\,\left( M,\,\pi \right)$ is a Levi subgroup with a cuspidal automorphic representation
$\pi $ taken modulo conjugacy. (Here we normalize
$\pi $ so that the action of the maximal split torus in the center of
$G$ at the archimedean places is trivial.) and
$L_{\text{dis}}^{2}{{\left( G\left( F \right)\backslash G\left( \mathbb{A} \right) \right)}_{\left( M,\pi \right)}}$ is a space of residues of Eisenstein series associated to
$\left( M,\,\pi \right)$. In this paper, we will completely determine the space
$L_{\text{dis}}^{2}{{\left( G\left( F \right)\backslash G\left( \mathbb{A} \right) \right)}_{\left( M,\pi \right)}}$, when
$M\simeq \text{G}{{\text{L}}_{2}}\times \text{G}{{\text{L}}_{2}}$. This is the first result on the residual spectrum for non-maximal, non-Borel parabolic subgroups, other than
$\text{G}{{\text{L}}_{n}}$.
