The Shimura-Waldspurger correspondence for $\mathrm{Mp}_{2n}$

Abstract: We generalize the Shimura-Waldspurger correspondence, which describes the generic part of the automorphic discrete spectrum of the metaplectic group $\mathrm{Mp}2$, to the metaplectic group $\mathrm{Mp}{2n}$ of higher rank. To establish this, we transport Arthur's endoscopic classification of representations of the odd special orthogonal group $\mathrm{SO}_{2r+1}$ with $r \gg 2n$ by using a result of J. S. Li on global theta lifts in the stable range.
