We give the first descents of unipotent representations explicitly, which are unipotent as well. Our results include both the Bessel case and Fourier-Jacobi case, which are related via theta correspondence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-17T11:16:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "unipotent representations", "finite unitary groups", "gan-gross-prasad conjecture", "descent problem", "finite fields" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
