We prove a functional equation of the local zeta-functions showing that the gamma factor is given by a Mellin type transform of the Bessel function of $\\pi$. We obtain an expression of the gamma factor, which shows its entireness on $\\C$. Moreover, we show that, through the local theta-correspondence, the local zeta-function on the covering group is essentially identified with the local zeta-integral for spherical functions on ${\\rm PGL}_2\\cong {\\rm SO}_3$ associated with the prehomogenous vector space of binary symmetric matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-25T23:41:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gamma factor", "local zeta functions", "functional equation", "metaplectic cover", "local zeta-function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
