Computation of a twisted character of a small representation of \(\mathrm{GL}(3, E)\) (Q2909030)

This paper presents an explicit computation of a twisted character of a particular representation \(\pi\) of \(G=\text{GL}(3,E)\). Here, \(E\) is a quadratic extension of a \(p\)-adic field \(F\) and \(\pi\) is the representation of \(G\) induced from the trivial representation of the maximal parabolic subgroup. Let \(\sigma\) be the involution on \(G\) defined by \(\sigma(g)= J \,^t\!\bar{g}^{-1}J\), where \(\bar{g}\) comes from the involution of \(E/F\). Then \(\pi\) is invariant under \(\sigma\). The authors compute, by purely local means, the \(\sigma\)-twisted character \(\chi^\sigma_\pi\) of \(\pi\). The computation is very long, and it is based on evaluations of certain volumes; case-by-case computation of these volumes is presented in the appendices.NEWLINENEWLINEIn addition, the authors discuss \(\chi^\sigma_\pi\) in the terms of stability and the twisted endoscopic lifting.
