Functorial transfer of Cohomological Representations from $SP(4,\mathbb{R})$ to $GL(5,\mathbb{R})$

Abstract

Let $G=Sp(4,\mathbb{R})$ and let $\pi$ be an irreducible, unitary representation of $G$ which is cohomological with respect to trivial coefficients. Using the inclusion from $SO(5,\mathbb{C})$ to $GL(5,\mathbb{C})$, we transfer $\pi$ to an irreducible representation $\iota(\pi)$ of $GL(5,\mathbb{R})$ and determine how the property of being cohomological behaves under Langlands functoriality. We also consider representations which are cohomological with respect to non-trivial coefficients.
