Abstract: This paper contains two results concerning the spectral decomposition, in a broad sense, of the space of nondegenerate Hermitian matrices over a local field of characteristic zero. The first is an explicit Plancherel decomposition of the associated L2 space thus confirming a conjecture of Sakellaridis-Venkatesh in this particular case. The second is a formula for the multiplicities of generic representations in the p-adic case that extends previous work of Feigon-Lapid-Offen. Both results are stated in terms of Arthur-Clozel's quadratic local base-change and the proofs are based on local analogs of two relative trace formulas previously studied by Jacquet and Ye and known as (relative) Kuznetsov trace formulas.


Let \(E/F\) be a quadratic extension of local fields. The space \(X=X_n\) of nondegenerate Hermitian matrices carries a natural action of \(G=\mathrm{GL}_n(E)\). Let \(G'=\mathrm{GL}_n(F)\) and let \(BC: \operatorname{Irr}(G') \to \operatorname{Irr}(G')\) be Arthur-Clozel's base-change map between the smooth duals of \(G'\) and \(G\). This paper contains two results concerning the spectral decomposition of \(X\). The first result is an an explicit Plancherel decomposition of \(L^2(X)\) as the direct integral of unitary \(G\)-representations \[ L^2(X) \simeq \int^\oplus_{\operatorname{Temp}(G')} BC(\sigma) d\mu_{G'}(\sigma), \] where \(\operatorname{Temp}(G')\subset \operatorname{Irr}(G')\) is the tempered dual of \(G'\) and \(d\mu_{G'}\) is the Plancherel measure for \(G'\). The second result is a formula for the multiplicities of generic representations in the \(p\)-adic case that extends previous work of Feigon-Lapid-Offen [\textit{B. Feigon} et al., Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 115, 185--323 (2012; Zbl 1329.11053)]. For the proof, the author develops the local analogue of the Kuznetsov trace formula for an arbitrary quasi-split group and also the relative Kuznetsov trace formula for \(X\).
