On an explicit formula for Whittaker-Shintani functions on \(Sp_ 2\) (Q1187144)

For an automorphic form on a symplectic group one has the notion of Fourier-Jacobi coefficients [see e.g. \textit{A. Murase} and \textit{T. Sugano}, Compos. Math. 79, No. 3, 321-349 (1991; Zbl 0731.11026)]. These coefficients give rise to a variant of Whittaker functions, called Whittaker-Shintani functions by the author. In the present paper the author proves an explicit formula for the local Whittaker-Shintani functions on the symplectic group of rank 2, namely, the values of such a function are expressed in terms of the irreducible characters of the dual group \(SO(5,\mathbb{C})\).
