The classical theta correspondence, based on the Weil representation, allows one to lift automorphic representations on symplectic groups or their double covers to au- tomorphic representations on special orthogonal groups. It is of interest to vary the orthog- onal group and describe the behavior in this theta tower (the Rallis tower). In prior work, the authors obtained an extension of the classical theta correspondence to higher degree metaplectic covers of symplectic and special orthogonal groups that is based on the tensor product of the Weil representation with another small representation. In this work we study the existence of generic lifts in the resulting theta tower. In the classical case, there are two orthogonal groups that may support a generic lift of an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of a symplectic group. We show that in general the Whittaker range consists of r + 1 groups for the lift from the r-fold cover of a symplectic group. We also give a period criterion for the genericity of the lift at each step of the tower.

Dimensions of automorphic representations, L-functions and liftings
The classical theta correspondence establishes a relationship between automorphic representations on special orthogonal groups and automorphic representations on symplectic groups or their double covers. This correspondence is achieved by using as integral kernel a theta series on the metaplectic double cover of a symplectic group that is constructed from the Weil representation. There is also an analogous local correspondence. In this work we present an extension of the classical theta correspondence to higher degree metaplectic covers of symplectic and special orthogonal groups. The key issue here is that for higher degree covers there is no analogue of the Weil representation, and additional ingredients are needed. Our work reflects a broader paradigm: constructions in automorphic forms that work for algebraic groups or their double covers should often extend to higher degree metaplectic covers.

Abstract Let G be a group and let H be a subgroup of G . The classical branching rule (or symmetry breaking) asks: For an irreducible representation π of G ,determine the occurrence of an irreducible representation σ of H in the restriction of π to H . The reciprocal branching problem of this classical branching problemis to ask: For an irreducible representation σ of H , find an irreducible representation π of G such that σ occurs in the restrictionof π to H . For automorphic representations of classical groups, the branching problem has been addressed by the well-known global Gan–Gross–Prasad conjecture.In this paper, we investigate the reciprocal branching problem for automorphic representationsof special orthogonal groups using the twisted automorphic descent method as developed in [13]. The method may be applied toother classical groups as well.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract We construct a family of representations of affine Hecke algebras, which depend on a number of auxiliary parameters $$g_i$$ g i , and which we refer to as metaplectic representations. We realize these representations as quotients of certain parabolically induced modules, and we apply the method of Baxterization (localization) to obtain actions of corresponding Weyl groups on rational functions on the torus. Our construction both generalizes and provides a conceptual proof of earlier results of Chinta, Gunnells, and Puskas, which had depended on a crucial computer verification. A key motivation is that when the parameters $$g_i$$ g i are specialized to certain Gauss sums, the resulting representation and its localization arise naturally in the consideration of p -parts of Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series. In this special case, similar results have been previously obtained in the literature by the study of Iwahori Whittaker functions for principal series of metaplectic covers of reductive p -adic groups. However this technique is not available for generic parameters $$g_i$$ g i . It turns out that the metaplectic representations can be extended to the double affine Hecke algebra, where they share many important properties with Cherednik’s basic polynomial representation, which they generalize. This allows us to introduce families of metaplectic polynomials, which depend on the $$g_i$$ g i , and which generalize Macdonald polynomials. In this paper we discuss in some detail the situation for type A , which is of considerable interest in algebraic combinatorics. We postpone some of the proofs, as well as a discussion of other types, to the sequel.more » « less

Abstract We prove a 1979 conjecture of Lusztig on the cohomology of semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties attached to division algebras over local fields. We also prove the two conjectures of Boyarchenko on these varieties. It is known that in this setting, the semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties are ind-schemes comprised of limits of certain finite-type schemes X h {X_{h}} . Boyarchenko’s two conjectures are on the maximality of X h {X_{h}} and on the behavior of the torus-eigenspaces of their cohomology. Both of these conjectures were known in full generality only for division algebras with Hasse invariant 1 / n {1/n} in the case h = 2 {h=2} (the “lowest level”) by the work of Boyarchenko–Weinstein on the cohomology of a special affinoid in the Lubin–Tate tower. We prove that the number of rational points of X h {X_{h}} attains its Weil–Deligne bound, so that the cohomology of X h {X_{h}} is pure in a very strong sense. We prove that the torus-eigenspaces of the cohomology group H c i ( X h ) {H_{c}^{i}(X_{h})} are irreducible representations and are supported in exactly one cohomological degree. Finally, we give a complete description of the homology groups of the semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties attached to any division algebra, thus giving a geometric realization of a large class of supercuspidal representations of these groups. Moreover, the correspondence θ ↦ H c i ( X h ) [ θ ] {\theta\mapsto H_{c}^{i}(X_{h})[\theta]} agrees with local Langlands and Jacquet–Langlands correspondences. The techniques developed in this paper should be useful in studying these constructions for p -adic groups in general.more » « less

Guruswami, Venkatesan (Ed.)We study the complexity of isomorphism problems for d-way arrays, or tensors, under natural actions by classical groups such as orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic groups. These problems arise naturally in statistical data analysis and quantum information. We study two types of complexity-theoretic questions. First, for a fixed action type (isomorphism, conjugacy, etc.), we relate the complexity of the isomorphism problem over a classical group to that over the general linear group. Second, for a fixed group type (orthogonal, unitary, or symplectic), we compare the complexity of the isomorphism problems for different actions. Our main results are as follows. First, for orthogonal and symplectic groups acting on 3-way arrays, the isomorphism problems reduce to the corresponding problems over the general linear group. Second, for orthogonal and unitary groups, the isomorphism problems of five natural actions on 3-way arrays are polynomial-time equivalent, and the d-tensor isomorphism problem reduces to the 3-tensor isomorphism problem for any fixed d >= 3. For unitary groups, the preceding result implies that LOCC classification of tripartite quantum states is at least as difficult as LOCC classification of d-partite quantum states for any d. Lastly, we also show that the graph isomorphism problem reduces to the tensor isomorphism problem over orthogonal and unitary groups.more » « less
