Abstract: The endoscopic classification via the stable trace formula comparison provides certain character relations between irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of classical groups and their global Arthur parameters, which are certain automorphic representations of general linear groups. It is a question of J. Arthur and W. Schmid that asks: How to construct concrete modules for irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of classical groups in term of their global Arthur parameters? In this paper, we formulate a general construction of concrete modules, using Bessel periods, for cuspidal automorphic representations of classical groups with generic global Arthur parameters. Then we establish the theory for orthogonal and unitary groups, based on certain well-expected conjectures. Among the consequences of the theory in this paper is that the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for those classical groups is proved in full generality in one direction and with a global assumption in the other direction.

Review text

Let us denote by \(F\) a number field and by \(\mathbb{A}\) its ring of adeles. Let \(G\) stand for a classical group over \(F\). By the endoscopic theory, intially established by Arthur, irreducible automorphic representations of \(G(\mathbb{A})\) occurring in the discrete spectrum can be parametrized by global Arthur parameters, up to global Arthur packets. The trace formula method establishes character relation between irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations of classical groups and their global Arthur parameters. A crucial question, posed by Arthur and Schmidt, is how to construct a concrete model for any irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation in terms of its global Arthur parameter. In the paper under the review, authors provide a general construction of concrete models for cuspidal automorphic representations of general classical groups. They introduce a theory of concrete modules, under certain conjectures, for cuspidal automorphic representations with generic global Arthur parameters. A key ingredient is an extension of the method of automorphic descent [\textit{D. Ginzburg} et al., The descent map from automorphic representations of \(\text{GL}(n)\) to classical groups. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific (2011; Zbl 1233.11056)] to general classical groups and general cuspidal automorphic representations with generic global Arthur parameters. To do so, authors establish the global non-vanishing of the twisted automorphic descents constructed from given data and prove irreducibility of modules constructed using the automorphic descent. The later is obtained using the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture as input. Along the way, authors prove one direction of the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture in full generality and the other direction with the global assumption. The approach used in the paper provides a uniform treatment of the global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for unitary and orthogonal groups, and using the Fourier-Jacobi periods one can obtain it for symplectic and metaplectic groups. It is naturally related to the theory of twisted automorphic descents and the Rankin-Selberg method, and does not use the cuspidal multiplicity one assumption, assumed in [\textit{W. T. Gan} et al., Astérisque 346, 1--109 (2012; Zbl 1280.22019)].
