Euler factors attached to unramified principal series representations (Q5916443)

Let G be a reductive group which is defined and quasi-split over a non- archimedean local field F and splits over an unramified extension of F. Consider the representations of G(F) induced from regular unramified characters of a maximal torus T(F) (T contained in a Borel group of G over F). The paper first gives the decomposition of these representations. Each one has exactly one constituent which has a Whittaker model. A zeta integral is defined for this Whittaker model and so an Euler factor is attached to the representation in question. More precisely, the Euler factor is attached to the representation of G(F) and an irreducible representation of the L-group of G. The Euler factor is compared with Langland's L-function and some examples are given. This generalization is to be compared with: \textit{F. Rodier} [Journées automorphes, Publ. Math. Univ.
