$p$-adic zeta integrals on unitary groups via Bushnell-Kutzko types

Abstract

In this paper, we compute certain $p$-adic zeta integrals appearing in the doubling method of Garrett and Piatetski-Shapiro-Rallis for unitary groups. Using structure theorems in the author's work arXiv:2310.09110 for $P$-(anti-)ordinary automorphic representations involving Bushnell-Kutzko types, we associate local Siegel-Weil sections at $p$ to such Bushnell-Kutzko types. Then, fixing compatible choices of $P$-anti-ordinary vectors, we find explicit formulae relating the corresponding $p$-adic zeta integral to modified $p$-Euler factors and volumes of $P$-Iwahoric subgroups. Our results extend the ones of Eischen, Harris, Li and Skinner for the ordinary setting by allowing automorphic representations with nontrivial supercuspidal support at $p$.
