review text: Arthur's description of the discrete automorphic spectrum of an adèlic classical group via endoscopy, obtained using the trace formula, is now almost complete [\textit{J. Arthur}, The endoscopic classification of representations: orthogonal and symplectic groups. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society, to appear (2013); \textit{C. P. Mok}, ``Endoscopic classification of representations of quasi-split unitary groups'', \url{arXiv:1206.0882}, Mem. Am. Math. Soc., to appear], although it is still conjectural subject to the stabilization of the twisted trace formula for the general linear group. As a part of his conjectures, \textit{J. Arthur} [Astérisque 171--172, 13--71 (1989; Zbl 0728.22014)] has suggested that unramified constituents of local principal series representations at a certain point of reducibility are unitary. This conjecture also makes sense for exceptional groups. The idea behind this claim is a simple observation that a local component of a discrete spectrum automorphic representation must be unitary, as it appears discretely in the \(L^2\)-spectrum. This observation was first used by \textit{B. Speh} [Math. Ann. 258, 113--133 (1981; Zbl 0483.22005)] to prove the unitarizability of certain representations of general linear groups over the reals, and later by \textit{M. Tadić} in the appendix of [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 19, No. 3, 335--382 (1986; Zbl 0614.22005)] for general linear groups over \(p\)-adic fields. There is another way to construct automorphic representations. It uses the Langlands spectral theory [\textit{R. P. Langlands}, On the functional equations satisfied by Eisenstein series. Berlin-Heidelberg-New York: Springer-Verlag (1976; Zbl 0332.10018)], which implies that certain residues of Eisenstein series span automorphic representations in the residual spectrum. Hence, Arthur's conjecture on the unitarizability of unramified constituents of principal series representation can be proved by constructing an Eisenstein series,…
