Explicit formulas for local factors of supercuspidal representations of $GL_n$ and their applications

Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mathematics.
We compute the local Rankin-Selberg factors and the local Jacquet-Shalika exterior square gamma factors of special classes of supercuspidal representations of $GL_n(F)$ for a $p$-adic local field $F$. For the local Rankin-Selberg gamma factor of a pair of level zero supercuspidal representations, we prove that it is equal to the Rankin-Selberg gamma factor of the pair of corresponding cuspidal representations over the residue field $\mathfrak{f}$ of $F$. Using this equality, we further show that such a gamma factor over $\mathfrak{f}$ can be written as a product of Gauss sums, which solves a conjecture by Nien and Zhang. For the Jacquet-Shalika exterior square gamma factors, we show the existence of exterior square gamma factors for irreducible cuspidal representations of $GL_n(\mathfrak{f})$ which have no non-zero Shalika vectors, and prove the equality between exterior square gamma factor of a level zero supercuspidal representation and that of its corresponding cuspidal representation. We show that the Jacquet-Shalika exterior square gamma factors match those from the Langlands-Shahidi method in the $GL_3(F)$ case. We also compute the local (twisted) Jacquet-Shalika exterior square gamma factors for simple supercuspidal representations, which we use to prove a local converse theorem for simple supercuspidal representations.
