The Rallis-Schiffmann lifting and Arthur packets of \(G_2\) (Q2501372)

This paper is an announcement of results that refine those of \textit{S. Rallis} and \textit{G. Schiffmann} [Theta correspondence associated with \(G_2\), Am. J. Math. 111, No. 5, 801--849 (1989; Zbl 0723.11026)]. In that paper the authors construct a theta lift from representations of the double cover of \(\mathrm{SL}_2\) to a group of type \(\mathrm{G}_2\). As usual this consists of two parts, one local, the other global. They analyse the local correspondence in detail with sketches of proofs. They then show how this can be used to determine the image of the global correspondence.
