A Product of Tensor Product $L$-functions of Quasi-split Classical Groups of Hermitian Type (1212.6580v2)

Abstract: A family of global integrals representing a product of tensor product (partial) $L$-functions: $ L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_1)L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_2)... L^S(s,\pi\times\tau_r) $ are established in this paper, where $\pi$ is an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of a quasi-split classical group of Hermitian type and $\tau_1,...,\tau_r$ are irreducible unitary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\GL_{a_1},...,\GL_{a_r}$, respectively. When $r=1$ and the classical group is an orthogonal group, this was studied by Ginzburg, Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis in 1997 and when $\pi$ is generic and $\tau_1,...,\tau_r$ are not isomorphic to each other, this is considered by Ginzburg, Rallis and Soudry in 2011. In this paper, we prove that the global integrals are eulerian and finish the explicit calculation of unramified local $L$-factors in general. The remaining local and global theory for this family of global integrals will be considered in our future work.
