Holomorphy of normalized intertwining operators for certain induced representations (Q6583566)

Intertwining operators arise naturally in the study of induced representations, and play an important role in the theory of automorphic forms and representations. In this article, the author normalizes the standard intertwining operator for certain induced representation on quasi-split classical groups, and shows that the normalized intertwining operator is holomorphic.\N\NMore precisely, let \(G_n\) be a quasi-split classical group of rank \(n\) defined over a non-archimedean local field \(F\) of characteristic zero. Write \(n=akc+n_0\) for some positive integers \(a,k,c\) and a non-negative integer \(n_0\), we denote by \(P_{akc}=M_{akc}N_{akc}\) the standard parabolic subgroup of \(G_n\) with Levi subgroup \(M_{akc}\simeq \mathrm{GL}_{akc}\times G_{n_0}\). Let \(\tau\) be a fixed unitary supercuspidal representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_k\), set \(\tau_a\) to be the Steinberg representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_{ak}\), and denote \(\rho_c(\tau_a)\) to be the Speh representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_{akc}\). Assume \(\sigma_{\bar{r}}\) is an irreducible admissible representation of \(G_{n_0}\). For \(s\in \mathbb{C}\), define induced representation as\N\[\N\rho_c(\tau_a)|\det(\centerdot)|^s\rtimes \sigma_{\bar{r}}:= \operatorname{Ind}_{P_{akc}}^{G_n}(\rho_c(\tau_a)|\det(\centerdot) |^s \otimes \sigma_{\bar{r}} ).\N\]\NWe let \(M_{c,a}(s,\tau,\sigma_{\bar{r}})\) be the standard intertwining operator\N\[\NM_{c,a}(s,\tau,\sigma_{\bar{r}}):\rho_c(\tau_a)|\det(\centerdot)|^s\rtimes \sigma_{\bar{r}} \to \rho_c(\tau_a)^*|\det(\centerdot)|^{-s}\rtimes \sigma_{\bar{r}},\N\]\Nwhere \(\rho_c(\tau_a)^*\) is the (conjugate) contragredient of \(\rho_c(\tau_a)\). We normalize these intertwining operators by certain factor \(\alpha_{c,a}(s,\tau,\sigma_{\bar{r}})\) motivated by the local coefficient calculation of \((k,c)-\)model. The main result of the paper is that the normalized intertwining operator\N\[\NM^*_{c,a}(s,\tau, \sigma_{\bar{r}}):=\frac{1}{\alpha_{c,a}(s,\tau,\sigma_{\bar{r}})}M_{c,a}(s,\tau,\sigma_{\bar{r}})\N\]\Nis holomorphic for all \(s\in \mathbb{C}\). The method of the proof relies on an observation of an intrinsically asymmetric property of normalization factors appearing in different reduced decompositions of intertwining operators.\N\NThe paper is well written and is pleasant to read.
