We prove that our $\\gamma$-factors satisfy a list of axioms (under the assumption $p \\neq 2$ when both groups are classical groups) and show their uniqueness (in general). This allows us to define extended local $L$-functions and root numbers. We then obtain automorphic $L$-functions $L(s,\\tau \\times \\pi)$, where $\\tau$ and $\\pi$ are globally generic cuspidal automorphic representations of split classical groups or general linear groups over a global function field. In addition to rationality and the functional equation, we prove that our automorphic $L$-functions satisfy the Riemann Hypothesis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-08-30T15:48:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F70", "22E50", "22E55" ], "keywords": [ "riemann hypothesis", "ls method", "positive characteristic", "general linear groups", "split classical groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1206.3186L" } } }
