Parity of conjugate self-dual representations of inner forms of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over $p$-adic fields

Abstract

We prove a general formula that relates the parity of the Langlands parameter of a conjugate self-dual discrete series representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ to the parity of its Jacquet-Langlands image. It gives a generalization of a partial result by Mieda concerning the case of invariant $1/n$ and supercuspidal representations. It also gives a variation of the result on the self-dual case by Prasad and Ramakrishnan.
