Abstract: Rallis and Soudry have proven the stability under twists by highly ramified characters of the local gamma factor arising from the doubling method, in the case of a symplectic group or orthogonal group G over a local non-archimedean field F of characteristic zero, and a representation of G, which is not necessarily generic. This paper extends their arguments to show the stability in the case when G is a unitary group over a quadratic extension E of F, thereby completing the proof of the stability for classical groups. This stability property is important in Cogdell, Piatetski-Shapiro, and Shahidi's use of the converse theorem to prove the existence of a weak lift from automorphic, cuspidal, generic representations of G(A) to automorphic representations of GL(n,A) for appropriate n, to which references are given in the paper of Rallis and Soudry.


Let \(G\) be either a symplectic or orthogonal group over a local non-archimedean field \(F\) of characteristic zero, or a unitary group over a quadratic extension, \(E\), of \(F\). Let \(\gamma(\pi,\chi,s, \psi)\) be the local gamma factor associated with a given irreducible admissible representation \(\pi\) of \(G\) where \(\chi\) is a character of \(F^*\) and \(\psi\) is a fixed non-trivial character of \(F\). This work extends a theorem on the stability under twists of the local gamma factor of the symplectic and orthogonal \(G\), if \(\chi\) is sufficiently ramified [\textit{S. Rallis} and \textit{D. Soudry}, Math. Ann. 333, No. 2, 291--313 (2005; Zbl 1076.22014)], to the above class of the unitary groups.
