For a parabolic subgroup $P$ of $G$ we set $X_P=G/[P,P]$. For any two parabolics $P$ and $Q$ with the same Levi component $M$ we construct an explicit unitary isomorphism $L^2(X_P)\\to L^2(X_Q)$ (which depends on a choice of an additive character of $F$). The formula for the above isomorphism involves the action of the principal nilpotent element in the Langlands dual group of $M$ on the unipotent radicals of the corresponding dual parabolics. We use the above isomorphisms to define a new space $\\calS(G,M)$ of functions on $X_P$ (which depends only on $P$ and not on $M$). We explain how this space may be applied in order to reformulate in a slightly more elegant way the construction of $L$-functions associated with the standard representation of a classical group due to Gelbart, Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-06-21T16:59:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "langlands dual group", "normalized intertwining operators", "local non-archimedian field", "principal nilpotent element", "explicit unitary isomorphism" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math......6119B" } } }
