Assuming the Langlands-Vogan parameterization of irreducible representations, we formulated precise conjectures for the solutions of these restriction problems. In the local case, our conjectural answer is given in terms of Langlands parameters and certain natural symplectic root numbers associated to them. In the global case, the conjectural answer is expressed in terms of the central critical value or derivative of a global $L$-function. In this paper we verify several of these conjectures in certain low rank cases, using methods of base change, theta correspondence, and global arguments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-16T12:20:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E50", "11F70" ], "keywords": [ "classical groups", "restriction problems", "conjectural answer", "natural symplectic root numbers", "low rank cases" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 58, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.2993T" } } }
