Certain Fourier operators on \(\operatorname{GL}_1\) and local Langlands gamma functions (Q2168225)

In this paper, the authors continue to develop some local analytic theory on \(\operatorname{GL}_1\) following their still unpublished work [\textit{J. Luo}, ``Certain Fourier operators and their associated Poisson summation formulae on \(\operatorname{GL}_1\)'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:2108.03566}]. In more words: in this earlier work, the authors embarked on a vast generalization of Tate's thesis. Namely, Tate used Poisson summation formula to prove the functional equation and meromorphic continuation of the zeta integrals and Hecke \(L\)-functions. Now, for any \(n\ge 1\) and to any automorphic cuspidal representation \(\pi\) of \(\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{A})\) (\(\mathbb{A}\) is the ring of adeles of a number field \(k\)), they attach certain Schwartz spaces on \(\operatorname{GL}_1\) and introduce certain functionals and \(\pi\)-Fourier transforms on them, and then they prove the corresponding \(\pi\)-Poisson summation formula (using the work of Godement and Jacquet). That leads to the proof of the meromorphic continuation and the functional equation for the \(L\)-function \(L(s,\pi).\) Now, if one has a \(k\)-split group \(G,\) an irreducible automorphic cuspidal representation \(\sigma\) of \(G(\mathbb{A}),\) and a finite dimensional representation \(\rho\) of \(G^{\vee}(\mathbb{C})\) (the Langlands dual group of \(G\)), under the assumption that the Langlands functoriality holds for all the local places for \((G,\rho),\) (together with Langlands reciprocity), the authors define \((\sigma, \rho)\)-Schwartz-spaces and \((\sigma, \rho)\)-Fourier-transforms (building on the \(\operatorname{GL}_n\)-case), in order to understand the properties of the \(L\)-function \(L(s,\sigma,\rho).\) Now, in the paper under review, they are concerned with more technical developments related to the local \((\sigma, \rho)\)-Fourier operators at both the archimedean and non-archimedean places. They define certain kernel functions, both in the archimedean and non-archimedean places, using some additional data. They show that those kernel functions do not, actually, depend on those additional data, and then they prove that the local \((\sigma, \rho)\)-Fourier operators are given as convolution operators (i.e., generalized Henkel transforms) corresponding to those kernel functions. Next, they prove that the Mellin transforms of the kernel functions are precisely the local Langlands gamma functions, which proves that these gamma functions are indeed gamma-functions in the sense of Gelfand, Graev and Pitateski-Shapiro.
