On symplectic periods of the discrete spectrum of \(\mathrm{GL}_{2n}\) (Q2472721)

Let \(G=\text{GL}_{2n}\), \(H=\text{Sp}_{2n}\) and \(\varphi\) an automorphic form on \(G({\mathbb A})\). If \(\varphi\) is a cusp form, then the symplectic period integral \( l_H(\varphi) = \int_{H(F)\backslash(H({\mathbb A})\cap G({\mathbb A})^l)}\varphi(h)\,dh \) converges. For a more general automorphic form, \(l_H(\varphi)\) is defined via a regularization. In this paper, the author studies this period for \(\varphi\) in the discrete spectrum. Using the description of the discrete spectrum of \(G({\mathbb A})\) by Mœglin and Waldspurger, the author reduces the problem to the study of the symplectic period of the multi-residue \(E_{-1}(\varphi)\) of an Eisenstein series \(E(\varphi, \lambda)\). He shows that this period is given by the absolutely convergent integral \( \int_{H(F)\backslash H({\mathbb A})} E_{-1}(h, \varphi)\,dh. \) The main result is a formula for this integral. It generalizes a formula of \textit{H. Jacquet} and \textit{S. Rallis} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 423, 175--197 (1991; Zbl 0734.11035)].
