Such period integrals are related to (non)vanishing of interesting L-values and also to Langlands functoriality. This article discusses a general principle, labelled arithmeticity, which roughly states that \"\\pi is H-distinguished if and only if any Galois conjugate of \\pi is H-distinguished.\" We study this principle via several examples; starting with GL(2) and leading up to more complicated situations where the ambient group is a higher GL(n) or a classical group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-11-25T04:48:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F67", "11F70", "11F75", "22E55" ], "keywords": [ "automorphic forms", "arithmeticity", "cuspidal automorphic representation", "ambient group", "higher gl" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1207.4641T" } } }
