Let $\\pi$ be an automorphic representation of $G(\\mathbb{A})$. It is well-known that Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms can be organized into nilpotent orbits $\\mathcal{O}$ of $G$. We prove that any Fourier coefficient $\\mathcal{F}_\\mathcal{O}$ attached to $\\pi$ is linearly determined by so-called 'Levi-distinguished' coefficients associated with orbits which are equal or larger than $\\mathcal{O}$. When $G$ is split and simply-laced, and $\\pi$ is a minimal or next-to-minimal automorphic representation of $G(\\mathbb{A})$, we prove that any $\\eta \\in \\pi$ is completely determined by its standard Whittaker coefficients with respect to the unipotent radical of a fixed Borel subgroup, analogously to the Piatetski-Shapiro--Shalika formula for cusp forms on $\\mathrm{GL}_n$. In this setting we also derive explicit formulas expressing any maximal parabolic Fourier coefficient in terms of (possibly degenerate) standard Whittaker coefficients for all simply-laced groups. We provide detailed examples for when $G$ is of type $D_5$, $E_6$, $E_7$ or $E_8$ with potential applications to scattering amplitudes in string theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-14T18:56:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F30", "11F70", "22E55", "20G45" ], "keywords": [ "small automorphic representations", "standard whittaker coefficients", "automorphic forms", "maximal parabolic fourier coefficient", "analyze fourier coefficients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 52, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
