Congruence primes for automorphic forms on unitary groups and applications to the arithmetic of Ikeda lifts

Abstract: In this paper we provide a sufficient condition for a prime to be a congruence prime for an automorphic form

f

on the unitary group

U (n, n) (A_{F})

for a large class of totally real fields

F

via a divisibility of a special value of the standard

L

-function associated to

f

. We also study

e l l

-adic properties of the Fourier coefficients of an Ikeda lift

I_{p h i}

(of an elliptic modular form

p h i

) on

U (n, n) (A_{m a t h b f Q})

proving that they are

e l l

-adic integers which do not all vanish modulo

e l l

. Finally we combine these results to show that the condition of

e l l

being a congruence prime for

I_{p h i}

is controlled by the

e l l

-divisibility of a product of special values of the symmetric square

L

-function of

p h i

. We close the paper by computing an example when our main theorem applies.
