[ For the entire collection see Zbl 0698.00020 and Zbl 0698.00021.] Let \(G\) denote a connected reductive group over a local field \(F\) and let us assume for the moment that every irreducible admissible tempered representation \(\pi\) of \(G(F)\) has a Langlands parameter \(\phi\) (a complex representation of the Weil-Deligne group) satisfying the usual functorial properties [ see, e.g. \textit{J. T. Tate}, Proc. Symp. Pure Math. 33, Part 2, 3-26 (1979; Zbl 0422.12007); \textit{A. Borel}, ibid., 27-61 (1979; Zbl 0412.10017)]. In particular, if \(r\) is an irreducible finite-dimensional representation of \(^L G\), then the Langlands \(L\)-function and \(\varepsilon\)-factor are equal to the Artin-Deligne \(L\)-function and \(\varepsilon\)-factor: \(L(s,\pi,r) = L(s,r\circ \phi)\) and \(\varepsilon (s, \pi, r, \psi_F) = \varepsilon (s, r \circ \phi, \psi_F)\). By a theorem of Jacquet, \(\pi\) is an irreducible subrepresentation of the induced representation of a discrete series representation \(\pi'\) of a Levi subgroup \(M\) of \(G\). Let \(\phi'\) denote the Langlands parameter of \(\pi'\), let \(r' = |^LM = \bigoplus _j r_j'\), where the \(r_j'\) are the irreducible representations of \(_L M\). By functoriality and the multiplicativity of local factors, one expects that \(L(s, \pi, r) = \prod_j L(s, \pi', r_j')\), and similarly for the \(\varepsilon\)-factors. The purpose of this article is to prove identities like these in a large number of cases when \(F\) is non-Archimedean. The author relies heavily on his earlier results [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 132, No. 2, 273-330 (1990; Zbl 0780.22005)].
