Abstract: Let mathcalK be an imaginary quadratic field. Let Pi and Pi be irreducible generic cohomological automorphic representation of GL(n)/mathcalK and GL(n1)/mathcalK, respectively. Each of them can be given two natural rational structures over number fields. One is defined by the rational structure on topological cohomology, the other is given in terms of the Whittaker model. The ratio between these rational structures is called a {it Whittaker period}. An argument presented by Mahnkopf and Raghuram shows that, at least if Pi is cuspidal and the weights of Pi and Pi are in a standard relative position, the critical values of the Rankin-Selberg product L(s,PiimesPi) are essentially algebraic multiples of the product of the Whittaker periods of Pi and Pi. We show that, under certain regularity and polarization hypotheses, the Whittaker period of a cuspidal Pi can be given a motivic interpretation, and can also be related to a critical value of the adjoint L-function of related automorphic representations of unitary groups. The resulting expressions for critical values of the Rankin-Selberg and adjoint L-functions are compatible with Deligne's conjecture.
