Gamma factors for Asai representations of ${\rm GL}_2$

Abstract

Let $E$ be a quadratic semisimple extension of a local field $F$ of characteristic zero. We determine explicit relation between gamma factors for Asai representations of $R_{E/F}{\rm GL}_{2/E}$ defined by the Weil-Deligne representations and local zeta integrals. When $E = F\times F$, the results were due to Henniart and Jacquet. We completed the theory in this article based on explicit calculation.
