Algebraicity of Spin $L$-functions for $\mathrm{GSp}_6$ (2408.03442v2)

Abstract: We prove algebraicity of critical values of certain Spin $L$-functions. More precisely, our results concern $L(s, \pi \otimes \chi, Spin)$ for cuspidal automorphic representations $\pi$ associated to a holomorphic Siegel eigenform on $GSp_6$, real Dirichlet characters $\chi$, and critical points $s$ to the right of the center of symmetry. We use the strategy of relating the $L$-values to properties of Eisenstein series, and a significant portion of the paper concerns the Fourier coefficients of these Eisenstein series. Unlike in prior algebraicity results following this strategy, our Eisenstein series are on a group $G$ that has no known moduli problem, and the $L$-functions are related to the Eisenstein series through a non-unique model.
