Abstract: We use the twisted topological trace formula developed in an earlier paper to understand liftings from symplectic to general linear groups. We analyse the lift from SP2g to PGL2g+1 over the ground field Q in further detail, and we get a description of the image of this lift for the L2 cohomology of SP2g (which is related to the intersection cohomology of the Shimura variety attached to GSp2g) in terms of the Eisenstein cohomology of the general linear group, whose building constituents are cuspidal representations of Levi groups. This description may be used to understand endoscopic and CAP-representations of the symplectic group.


The author builds on his work in [Compos. Math. 148, No. 1, 65-120 (2012); Zbl 1282.11055], which develops a topological picture for the trace formula and applies this to get a lifting theorem from \(\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}\) to \(\mathrm{PGL}_{2g+1}\) over the rationals. He now gets a description of the image of this lift on the \(L^2\)-cohomology in terms of Eisenstein cohomology of \(\mathrm{PGL}_{2g+1}\). The ingredients in getting Eisenstein cohomology are cuspidal representations of Levi subgroups of the parabolic groups corresponding to cusps. Representations of \(\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}\) are then studied by looking at the cuspidal support of their lift to \(\mathrm{PGL}_{2g+1}\), where multiplicity one can be used in order to find cohomological packets in the discrete spectrum of \(\mathrm{Sp}_{2g}.\) The main ingredients in the paper are \textit{J. Franke}'s [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 31, No. 2, 181--279 (1998; Zbl 0938.11026)], information on the discrete spectrum of \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) as developed by \textit{C. Moeglin} and \textit{J. L. Waldspurger} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 22, No. 4, 605--674 (1989; Zbl 0696.10023)] as well as a profound and very stunning ability to perform detailed concrete calculations with all the objects involved.
