Double descent in classical groups

Abstract: Let be the ring of adeles of a number field F. Given a self-dual irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representation au of GLn(BA), with trivial central characters, we construct its full inverse image under the weak Langlands functorial lift from the appropriate split classical group G. We do this by a new automorphic descent method, namely the double descent. This method is derived from the recent generalized doubling integrals of Cai, Friedberg, Ginzburg and Kaplan cite{CFGK17}, which represent the standard L-functions for GimesGLn. Our results are valid also for double covers of symplectic groups.


Let \(F\) denote a number field, and let \(\mathbb{A}\) stand for its ring of adeles. Let us denote b \(\tau\) an irreducible, automorphic, self-dual cuspidal representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A})\), with a trivial central character. It is known that \(\tau\) can be obtained as the functorial lift of an irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representation \(\sigma\) of \(G(\mathbb{A})\), where \(G\) stands for either a symplectic or a split special orthogonal group, defined over \(F\). In the paper under the review, the authors provide an explicit construction of all irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representations \(\sigma\) which weakly lift to \(\tau\). More precisely, a unique representative is constructed for each isomorphism class of such a \(\sigma\). The obtained results are also valid for double covers of symplectic groups, and arise as an application of the double descent method. This method is derived from generalized doubling integrals [\textit{Y. Cai} et al., Invent. Math. 217, No. 3, 985--1068 (2019; Zbl 1480.11060)].
