Max-Planck-Institut Für Mathematik Bonn Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik Bonn Non-vanishing square-integrable automorphic cohomology classes - the case GL(2) over a central division algebra by Joachim Schwermer Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik Preprint Series 2020 (48) Date of submission: September 10, 2020 Non-vanishing square-integrable automorphic cohomology classes - the case GL(2) over a central division algebra by Joachim Schwermer Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik Faculty of Mathematics Vivatsgasse 7 University Vienna 53111 Bonn Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1 Germany 1090 Vienna Austria MPIM 20-48 1 NON-VANISHING SQUARE-INTEGRABLE AUTOMORPHIC 2 COHOMOLOGY CLASSES - THE CASE GL(2) OVER A CENTRAL 3 DIVISION ALGEBRA 4 JOACHIM SCHWERMER Abstract. Let k be a totally real algebraic number field, and let D be a central divi- sion algebra of degree d over k. The connected reductive algebraic k-group GL(2;D)=k has k-rank one; it is an inner form of the split k-group GL(2d)=k. We construct auto- morphic representations π of GL(2d)=k which occur non-trivially in the discrete spec- trum of GL(2d; k) and which have specific local components at archimedean as well as non-archimedean places of k so that there exist automorphic representations π0 of 0 GL(2;D)(Ak) with Ξ(π ) = π under the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. These re- quirements depend on the finite set VD of places of k at which D does not split, and on 0 the quest to construct representations π of GL(2;D)(Ak) which either represent cusp- idal cohomology classes or give rise to square-integrable classes which are not cuspidal, that is, are eventually represented by a residue of an Eisenstein series. The demand for cohomological relevance gives strong constraints at the archimedean components. 5 1. Introduction ∗ 6 1.1. The square-integrable cohomology groups H(sq)(G; C). Let G be a reductive al- 7 gebraic group over a totally real algebraic number field k, and suppose that G modulo its 8 radical has k-rank greater than zero. We write G1 for the group Rk=Q(G)(R) of real points 9 of the algebraic Q-group Rk=Q(G) obtained from G by restriction of scalars, and K1 for a 10 maximal compact subgroup of G1. Within the framework of the automorphic cohomology ∗ 11 H (G; C) of a reductive algebraic group G over k one has the notion of square-integrable co- ∗ ∗ 12 homology (see Section 8 for details). This subspace of H (G; C), to be denoted H(sq)(G; C), 2 13 reflects the contribution of the discrete spectrum Ldisc;J (G) of G to the cohomology. It 2 14 contains the cuspidal spectrum Lcusp;J (G). In fact, there is a decomposition 2 2 2 (1.1) Ldisc;J (G) = Lcusp;J (G) ⊕ Lres;J (G) 2 15 where the complement Lres;J (G) denotes the residual spectrum of G. Each constituent of 2 16 Lres;J (G) can be structurally described in terms of residues of Eisenstein series attached 17 to irreducible representations occurring in the discrete spectra of the Levi components of 18 proper parabolic k-subgroups of G. 19 On the cohomological level, this presents itself as a chain of inclusions ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ (1.2) Hcusp(G; C) ⊂ H!

(G; C), a topologically defined object, is sandwiched 3 between two analytically defined cohomology groups. 4 1.2. Non-vanishing results for the square-integrable cohomology of GL(2;D). The 5 question arises how one can detect non-vanishing square-integrable cohomology classes in ∗ 6 H(sq)(G; C) and related automorphic representations. In this paper we study this problem 7 in the case of the general linear group GL(2;D) over a finite-dimensional central division 8 algebra D of degree d > 1, defined over a totally real algebraic number field k. The group 9 GL(2;D)=k is an inner form of the general linear group GL(2d)=k. 10 Two ingredients are essential in this investigation: Firstly, the global Jacquet-Langlands 11 correspondence by Badulescu [2] and Badulescu-Renard [3] which relates via an injective 12 map, to be denoted Ξ, the set of the irreducible constituents of the discrete spectrum 13 of GL(2;D)(Ak) with the set of the irreducible constituents of the discrete spectrum of 14 GL(2d; k) (see Section 3 for details). 0 15 Secondly, we have to construct automorphic representation π = ⊗ π of GL(2d)=k v2Vk v 16 which occur non-trivially in the discrete spectrum of GL(2d; k) and which have specific local 17 components at archimedean as well as non-archimedean places of k so that there exists a 0 0 0 0 18 corresponding automorphic representation π = ⊗ π of GL(2;D)( ) with Ξ(π ) = π. v2Vk v Ak 19 These requirements depend on D, more precisely, on the finite set VD of places of k at 0 20 which D does not split, and on the quest to construct representations π of GL(2;D)(Ak) 21 which either represent cuspidal cohomology classes or give rise to square-integrable classes 22 which are not cuspidal, that is, are eventually represented by a residue of an Eisenstein 23 series. The demand for cohomological relevance gives strong constraints at the archimedean 24 components of πv, v 2 Vk;1. 25 We finally construct three different kinds of non-vanishing square-integrable cohomology ∗ 26 classes in H(sq)(G; C) (see Theorems 8.1, 7.3, and 8.5): ∗ 27 (a) classes in the cuspidal cohomology H(cusp)(GL(2;D); C) which correspond to a cus- 28 pidal representation of GL(2d; k), ∗ 29 (b) classes in the cuspidal cohomology H(cusp)(GL(2;D); C) which correspond to a resid- 30 ual representation of GL(2d; k), ∗ 31 (c) non-cuspidal classes in H(sq)(GL(2;D); C) which correspond to a residual represen- 32 tation of GL(2d; k) of a type different from the one occuring in (b). 33 1.3. Example. We illustrate these results by the following example: Let k be a totally 34 real field of degree [k : Q] = 4, and let D be a central division algebra of degree 2 over 0 35 k. Suppose that jVDj = 6 and that V1;k ⊂ VD. Then the cuspidal representation π 36 of GL(2;D)(Ak) constructed in Theorem 8.1 contributes non-trivially to the cuspidal co- ∗ 0 0 37 homology Hcusp(H ; C) of H = GL(2;D) in degrees 8; 9; 10; 11; 12, that is, in a range of 38 degrees centered around the middle dimension 10. By contrast, the cuspidal representation 39 constructed in Theorem 7.3 contributes non-trivially in degrees 4; 7; 10; 13; 16. The cohomol- 40 ogy class obtained via the residual spectrum contributes in degree 4 to the square-integrable 41 cohomology. Note that these residual classes are carried at the archimedean components 42 by the same irreducible non-tempered unitary representation as the non-tempered cuspidal 43 classes. 44 1.4. We describe two of the results obtained in a more precise way. 45 Theorem 1.1. Given a totally real number field k of degree `, let D be a finite-dimensional 46 central division algebra over k of degree d > 1. Let VD ⊂ Vk be the finite set of places of k at SQUARE-INTEGRABLE AUTOMORPHIC COHOMOLOGY CLASSES - GL(2;D) 3 1 which D does not split. Let t denote the number of archimedean places in VD, and suppose 0 0 2 that t > 0. Then there exist automorphic representations π = ⊗ π of GL(2;D)( ) v2Vk v Ak 3 which occur as irreducible constituents in the residual spectrum of GL(2;D)(Ak), whose 0 4 archimedean components πv are irreducible non-tempered unitary representation of GL(d; H) 5 for v 2 VD \ Vk;1 (resp. of GL(2d; R) for v 2 Vk;1, v2 = VD), and which give rise to a ∗ 6 non-trivial cohomology class in H(sq)(GL(2;D); C) that is not cuspidal. 7 The proof relies on the description of the residual spectrum of GL(2d; Ak) in [36] and an 8 explicit construction of an irreducible tempered representation of GL(d; Ak) with prescribed 9 local and global properties, aligned with the demands (see Proposition 3.4) defined by the 10 Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. 0 0 11 We will give the archimedean components πv; v 2 Vk;1, of the representation π in the 12 Theorem in a precise form in Section 4, denoted by JR(2; θ) in the case of the group 0 0 13 GL(2d; ), and denoted by J (2; θ ) in the case of GL(d; ). These two representations R R H 14 correspond to one another by the local Jacquet-Langlands correspondence. In the latter 15 case, the Poincare polynomial is given in Proposition 4.2.

  • CUSPIDAL IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEX OR L-MODULAR REPRESENTATIONS of QUATERNIONIC FORMS of P-ADIC CLASSICAL GROUPS for ODD P
    CUSPIDAL IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEX OR l-MODULAR REPRESENTATIONS OF QUATERNIONIC FORMS OF p-ADIC CLASSICAL GROUPS FOR ODD p DANIEL SKODLERACK Abstract. Given a quaternionic form G of a p-adic classical group (p odd) we clas- sify all cuspidal irreducible representations of G with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. We prove two theorems: At first: Every irreducible cuspidal representation of G is induced from a cuspidal type, i.e. from a certain irreducible representation of a compact open subgroup of G, constructed from a β-extension and a cuspidal representation of a finite group. Secondly we show that two intertwining cuspidal types of G are up to equivalence conjugate under some ele- ment of G. [11E57][11E95][20G05][22E50] 1. Introduction This work is the third part in a series of three papers, the first two being [35] and [37]. Let F be a non-Archimedean local field with odd residue characteristic p. The construc- tion and classification of cuspidal irreducible representation complex or l-modular of the set of rational points G(F) of a reductive group G defined over F has already been success- fully studied for general linear groups (complex case: [11] Bushnell{Kutzko, [31], [4], [32] Broussous{Secherre{Stevens; modular case: [44] Vigneras, [23] Minguez{Sech´erre)and for p-adic classical groups ([42] Stevens, [21] Kurinczuk{Stevens, [20] Kurinczuk{Stevens joint with the author). In this paper we are generalizing from p-adic classical groups to their quaternionic forms. Let us mention [46] Yu, [15], [16] Fintzen and [19] Kim for results over reductive p-adic groups in general.

INTRODUCTION A powerful tool in representation theory of finite groups of Lie type is Harish]Chandra induction. It is a method to construct, in a systematic way, representations for the group from those ofŽ. split Levi subgroups. Let G be a finite group of Lie type. An irreducible representationŽ of finite degree over a field containing the <<G th roots of unity. of G is called cuspidal if it does not occur as a subrepresentation of a Harish]Chandra induced representation of a proper Levi subgroup. In order to find all irreducible representations of G, one has to construct the cuspidal repre- sentations of all Levi subgroups first. Then one has to find all irreducible subrepresentations of Harish]Chandra induced cuspidal representations. Some of the cuspidal representations may occur as subquotients of Harish]Chandra induced representations. Following Vigneras, we call an irreducible representation of G super- cuspidal if it does not occur as a subquotient of a Harish]Chandra induced representation of a proper Levi subgroup. Thus, in particular, a supercuspidal representation is cuspidal. If the characteristic of the under- lying field does not divide the order of G, all representations of G are semisimple, so each subquotient is also a subrepresentation.

    L The special values of the standard -functions for GSp2n × GL1 Shuji Horinaga, Ameya Pitale, Abhishek Saha, Ralf Schmidt Abstract We prove the expected algebraicity property for the critical L-values of character twists of the standard L-function associated to vector-valued holomorphic Siegel cusp forms of archimedean type (k1, k2,...,kn), where kn ≥ 2n + 2 and all ki are of the same parity. For the proof, we use an explicit integral representation to reduce to arithmetic properties of differential operators on vector-valued nearly holomorphic Siegel cusp forms. We establish these properties via a representation-theoretic approach.

  • Whittaker–Fourier Coefficients of Cusp Forms
    WHITTAKER{FOURIER COEFFICIENTS OF CUSP FORMS ZHENGYU MAO Abstract. We report on the work with E. Lapid about a conjecture relating Whittaker- Fourier coefficients of cusp forms to special values of L−functions. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Statement of the conjecture 2 3. Some known cases 5 4. Case of classical group and metaplectic group: automorphic descent 6 References 10 1. Introduction Let G be a quasi-split reductive group over a number field F and A the ring of adeles of F . Let B be a Borel subgroup of G defined over F , N the unipotent radical of B and fix a non-degenerate character N of N(A), trivial on N(F ). For a cusp form ' of G(F )nG(A) we consider the Whittaker{Fourier coefficient Z N −1 −1 W(') = W (') := (vol(N(F )nN(A))) '(n) N (n) dn: N(F )nN(A) If π is an irreducible cuspidal representation then W, if non-zero, gives a realization of π in the space of Whittaker functions on G(A), which by local multiplicity one depends only on π as an abstract representation. It therefore provides a useful tool for understanding π, both computationally and conceptually. It is natural to study the size of W('). In [LM15], inspired by the work of Ichino-Ikeda [II10], with E. Lapid we made a conjecture relating the size of W(') with a special L−value of π. In this note, we report on the work with Lapid on this conjecture. In modular form language, the notion of Whittaker-Fourier coefficient is roughly that of Fourier coefficient of a modular form.

  • SUPERCUSPIDAL REPRESENTATIONS of Glnpfq DISTINGUISHED by a GALOIS INVOLUTION
    SUPERCUSPIDAL REPRESENTATIONS OF GLnpFq DISTINGUISHED BY A GALOIS INVOLUTION by Vincent Sécherre Abstract.— Let F{F0 be a quadratic extension of non-Archimedean locally compact fields of resi- dual characteristic p ‰ 2, and let σ denote its non-trivial automorphism. Let R be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. To any cuspidal representation π of GLnpFq, with coef- ficients in R, such that πσ » π_ (such a representation is said to be σ-selfdual) we associate a quadra- tic extension D{D0, where D is a tamely ramified extension of F and D0 is a tamely ramified exten- ˆ sion of F0, together with a quadratic character of D0 . When π is supercuspidal, we give a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of these data, for π to be GLnpF0q-distinguished. When the charac- ˆ teristic ` of R is not 2, denoting by ω the non-trivial R-character of F0 trivial on F{F0-norms, we prove that any σ-selfdual supercuspidal R-representation is either distinguished or ω-distinguished, but not both. In the modular case, that is when ` ¡ 0, we give examples of σ-selfdual cuspidal non- supercuspidal representations which are not distinguished nor ω-distinguished. In the particular case where R is the field of complex numbers, in which case all cuspidal representations are supercuspi- dal, this gives a complete distinction criterion for arbitrary complex cuspidal representations, as well as a purely local proof, for cuspidal representations, of the dichotomy and disjunction theorem due to Kable and Anandavardhanan–Kable–Tandon, when p ‰ 2.

  • On the Computation of Local Components of a Newform 3
    ON THE COMPUTATION OF LOCAL COMPONENTS OF A NEWFORM DAVID LOEFFLER AND JARED WEINSTEIN 1. Introduction 1.1. The problem. Let f be a cuspidal newform for Γ1(N) with weight k 2 and character ε. There are well-established methods for computing such forms≥ using modular symbols, see [Ste07]. Let πf be the corresponding automorphic representa- tion of the ad`ele group GL2(AQ). (As there are numerous possible normalisations, we shall recall the construction in section 2.1 below.) This representation decom- poses as a restricted tensor product over all places v of Q: πf = πf,v, v O where πf,v is an irreducible admissible representation of GL2(Qv). The isomor- phism class of the infinite component πf,∞ is determined by the weight k alone: it is the unique discrete series subrepresentation of the representation constructed via unitary induction from the character k/2 t1 t1 k ∗ sgn(t1) t2 7→ t 2 of the Borel subgroup of GL2(R) [Gel75, prop. 5.21]. Similarly, the component πf,p for a prime p ∤ N is the unramified principal series with Satake parameters equal 2 k−1 to the roots of the polynomial X apX + ε(p)p .

  • GEOMETRY of DUAL SPACES of REDUCTIVE GROUPS (Non-Archimedean Case)
    GEOMETRY OF DUAL SPACES OF REDUCTIVE GROUPS (non-archimedean case) MARKO TADIC Department of Mathematics, University of Zagreb, P.O. Box 187, 41001 Zagreb, Yugoslavia Introduction J. M. G. Fell introduced in [ 1O] the notion of the non-unitary dual space of a locally compact group. By his definition, it is a topological space. The main part of that paper deals with the basic properties of the topology of non-unitary dual space. This paper can be considered mainly as a continuation of such investi- gations, in the case of a p-adic reductive group G. We write down proofs of the basic properties of this topological space for such G. Since in the last twenty years after the appearance of [ 10] the topology of non-unitary dual has not attracted much attention, we begin with a longer introduction explaining motivations and reasons for writing this paper. Let G be a connected reductive group over a non-archimedean local field F. The set of all equivalence classes of topologically irreducible unitary represen- tations of G is denoted by G. The set d is in a natural way a topological space. The topology may be described in terms of approximation of matrix coefficients. In the study of some topological space a first reduction may be to decompose it into disjoint union of open and closed subsets. In [26] such a decomposition of G was obtained. One could see easily that the decomposition in [26] was not the finest possible of such type. This author realized that the right setting for the decompo- sition in [26] of (~ is not G but another topological space.

  • Remark on Representation Theory of General Linear Groups Over a Non-Archimedean Local Division Algebra
    REMARK ON REPRESENTATION THEORY OF GENERAL LINEAR GROUPS OVER A NON-ARCHIMEDEAN LOCAL DIVISION ALGEBRA MARKO TADIC´ Abstract. In this paper we give a simple (local) proof of two principal results about irreducible tempered representations of general linear groups over a non-archimedean lo- cal division algebra. We give a proof of the parameterization of the irreducible square integrable representations of these groups by segments of cuspidal representations, and a proof of the irreducibility of the tempered parabolic induction. Our proofs are based on Jacquet modules (and the Geometric Lemma, incorporated in the structure of a Hopf algebra). We use only some very basic general facts of the representation theory of reduc- tive p-adic groups (the theory that we use was completed more then three decades ago, mainly in 1970-es). Of the specific results for general linear groups over A, basically we use only a very old result of G.I. Ol'ˇsanskiˇi, which says that there exist complementary series starting from Ind(ρ⊗ρ) whenever ρ is a unitary irreducible cuspidal representation. In appendix of [11], there is also a simple local proof of these results, based on a slightly different approach. 1. Introduction Let A be a local non-archimedean division algebra. Two major steps in classifying unitary duals of general linear groups over a local non-archimedean division algebra A modulo cuspidal representations, were done in [3] by D. Renard and I. Badulescu, and in [16] by V. S´echerre. The unitarizability of Speh representations was proved in [3] using global methods (and a simple form of the trace formula of Arthur1).

  • NOTES on the ARITHMETIC of HILBERT MODULAR FORMS 1. Introduction Shimura Proved the Following Fundamental Result (See [37, Theor
    NOTES ON THE ARITHMETIC OF HILBERT MODULAR FORMS A. RAGHURAM AND NAOMI TANABE 1. Introduction Shimura proved the following fundamental result (see [37, Theorem 4.3]) on the critical values of the standard L-function attached to a holomorphic Hilbert modular form. Theorem 1.1 (Shimura). Let f be a primitive holomorphic Hilbert modular cusp form of type (k; !~) over a totally real number field F of degree n. Assume that the weight k = (k1; : : : ; kn) satisfies the parity condition k1 ≡ · · · ≡ kn (mod 2): 0 σ Let k = min(k1; : : : ; kn) and k0 = max(k1; : : : ; kn). There exist nonzero complex numbers u(r; f ) defined n n × for r 2 Z =2Z and σ 2 Aut(C) such that for any Hecke character χ of AF of finite order, for any integer m with 0 0 (k0 − k )=2 < m < (k0 + k )=2; and for any σ 2 Aut(C), we have L (m; f; χ) L (m; f σ; χσ) σ f = f ; (2πi)mn τ(χ) u(, f) (2πi)mn τ(χσ) u(, f σ) where is prescribed by: χ(a) = sgn[aN(a)m]; the quantity τ(χ) is the Gauss sum attached to χ, and Lf (s; f; χ) is the (finite part of the) standard L-function attached to f, twisted by χ. The purpose of this semi-expository article is to give another proof of the above theorem, which is rather different from Shimura's proof. However, before proceeding any further, let us mention that our proof is contained in the union of these papers: Harder [18], Hida [21]; see also Dou [10].
