Abstract: We convolve a theta function on an n-fold cover of GL3 with an automorphic form on an n′-fold cover of GL2 for suitable n,n′. To do so, we induce the theta function to the n-fold cover of GL4 and use a Shalika integral. We show that in particular when n=n′=3 this construction gives a new Eulerian integral for an automorphic form on the 3-fold cover of GL2 (the first such integral was given by Bump and Hoffstein), and when n=4, n′=2, it gives a Dirichlet series with analytic continuation and functional equation that involves both the Fourier coefficients of an automorphic form of half-integral weight and quartic Gauss sums. The analysis of these cases is based on the uniqueness of the Whittaker model for the local exceptional representation. The constructions studied here may be put in the context of a larger family of global integrals which are constructed using automorphic representations on covering groups. We sketch this wider context and some related conjectures.


In the paper under the review, authors initiate the study of a family of global integrals obtained using automorphic representations on covering groups. In particular, authors study the covers of groups \(\mathrm{GL}_2\) and \(\mathrm{GL}_3\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor suitable positive integers \(n\) and \(n'\), authors convolve a theta function on the \(n\)-fold cover of \(\mathrm{GL}_3\) with an automorphic form on the \(n'\)-fold cover of \(\mathrm{GL}_2\), inducing the theta function to the \(n\)-fold cover of \(\mathrm{GL}_4\) and using the Shalika integral.NEWLINENEWLINEFor particular choices of \(n\) and \(n'\), it is then shown that the presented construction gives rise to an Eulerian integral for an automorphic form and to a Dirichlet series with analytic continuation and functional equation.
