The results of this paper show that when a cuspidal representation $\\sigma$ of a symplectic group $G$ lifts to a cuspidal representation $\\pi = \\theta_{\\psi}(\\sigma)$ of an orthogonal group $H$ attached to a quadratic space $V$ of dimension $m$, the Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms in $\\sigma$ are linked to periods of automorphic forms in $\\pi$. Consequently, when our results are combined with the Rallis inner product formula in the convergent range or the second term range, we prove a special value formula for the standard automorphic $L$-function $L(s,\\sigma,\\chi_V)$ attached to $\\sigma$ (and twisted by the character $\\chi_V$ of $V$) at the point $s_{m,2n}=m/2-(2n+1)/2$ in terms of the Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms in $\\sigma$ and periods of forms in $\\pi$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-07T17:21:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "automorphic forms", "standard automorphic l-functions", "theta correspondence", "cuspidal representation", "fourier coefficients" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150101565W" } } }
