On the local doubling \(\gamma \)-factor for classical groups over function fields (Q2064335)

Let $F$ be a local field and let $G$ be a classical group over $F$. The author of the paper under review uses the doubling method of Piatetski-Shapiro, Rallis [\textit{S. Gelbart} et al., Explicit constructions of automorphic \(L\)-functions. Springer, Cham (1987; Zbl 0612.10022); \textit{E. M. Lapid} and \textit{S. Rallis}, Ohio State Univ. Math. Res. Inst. Publ. 11, 309--359 (2005; Zbl 1188.11023); \textit{I. I. Piatetski-Shapiro} and \textit{S. Rallis}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 4589--4593 (1986; Zbl 0599.12012)] to irreducible representations of $G(F)\times F^\times$ in the case $ch(F)$ is an odd prime to give give a precise definition of a $\gamma$-factor $\gamma^{V}(s,\pi\boxtimes\omega,\psi)$ for an irreducible representation of $G(F)$, a character $\omega$ of $F^\times$, and a nontrivial additive character $\psi$ of $F$. Here $\boxtimes$ is the free multiplicative convolution of two non-commutative variables. Beside of the author approach for above definition he proves and uses some fundamental properties that are sufficient to define it uniquely. The fact that shows the definition is ``precise''. The process for precise definition in the case $ch(F) =0$ already is established [\textit{W. T. Gan}, Nagoya Math. J. 208, 67--95 (2012; Zbl 1280.11028); \textit{H. Kakuhama}, Manuscr. Math. 163, No. 1--2, 57--86 (2020; Zbl 1470.11129); \textit{E. M. Lapid} and \textit{S. Rallis}, Ohio State Univ. Math. Res. Inst. Publ. 11, 309--359 (2005; Zbl 1188.11023); \textit{S. Yamana}, Invent. Math. 196, No. 3, 651--732 (2014; Zbl 1303.11054)]. The paper under review is a well-written one with strong results and it is a good resource for interested researchers in the field.
