The Fourier-Jacobi Periods : The case of $Mp(2n+2r) \times Sp(2n)$

Abstract

In this paper, we prove one direction of the Gan--Gross--Prasad conjecture on metaplectic-symplectic groups for tempered cases. Furthermore, we also prove one direction of the non-tempered GGP conjecture for residual representations with relevant $A$-parameters. As an application, we discuss the non-vanishing of the central value of quadratic twists of automorphic $L$-functions of $GL_{2n}$.
