We explicitly compute the adjoint L-function of those L-packets of representations of the group GSp(4) over a p-adic field of characteristic zero that contain non-supercuspidal representations. As an application we verify a conjecture of Gross-Prasad and Rallis in this case. The conjecture states that the adjoint L-function has a pole at s=1 if and only if the L-packet contains a generic representation.
We establish Langlands functoriality for the generic spectrum of GSp(4) and describe its transfer on GL(4). We apply this to prove results toward the generalized Ramanujan conjecture for generic representations of GSp(4).
We study the adjunction property of the Jacquet-Emerton functor in certain neighborhoods of critical points in the eigencurve. As an application, we construct two-variable $p$-adic $L$-functions around critical points via Emertons representation theoretic approach.
Let G be a profinite group which is topologically finitely generated, p a prime number and d an integer. We show that the functor from rigid analytic spaces over Q_p to sets, which associates to a rigid space Y the set of continuous d-dimensional pseudocharacters G -> O(Y), is representable by a quasi-Stein rigid analytic space X, and we study its general properties. Our main tool is a theory of determinants extending the one of pseudocharacters but which works over an arbitrary base ring; an independent aim of this paper is to expose the main facts of this theory. The moduli space X is constructed as the generic fiber of the moduli formal scheme of continuous formal determinants on G of dimension d. As an application to number theory, this provides a framework to study the generic fibers of pseudodeformation rings (e.g. of Galois representations), especially in the residually reducible case, and including when p <= d.
We construct a Langlands parameterization of supercuspidal representations of $G_2$ over a $p$-adic field. More precisely, for any finite extension $K / QQ_p$ we will construct a bijection [ CL_g : CA^0_g(G_2,K) rightarrow CG^0(G_2,K) ] from the set of generic supercuspidal representations of $G_2(K)$ to the set of irreducible continuous homomorphisms $rho : W_K to G_2(CC)$ with $W_K$ the Weil group of $K$. The construction of the map is simply a matter of assembling arguments that are already in the literature, together with a previously unpublished theorem of G. Savin on exceptional theta correspondences, included as an appendix. The proof that the map is a bijection is arithmetic in nature, and specifically uses automorphy lifting theorems. These can be applied thanks to a recent result of Hundley and Liu on automorphic descent from $GL(7)$ to $G_2$.
Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite extension of $mathbb{Q}_p$. We state conjectures on the smooth representations of $mathrm{GL}_n(K)$ that occur in spaces of mod $p$ automorphic forms (for compact unitary groups). In particular, when $K$ is unramified, we conjecture that they are of finite length and predict their internal structure (extensions, form of subquotients) from the structure of a certain algebraic representation of $mathrm{GL}_n$. When $n=2$ and $K$ is unramified, we prove several cases of our conjectures, including new finite length results.
