Twisted Jacquet modules and induction from Speh representations

Abstract

Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series induced from Speh representations are the kernels of the generalized doubling method of Cai, Friedberg, Ginzburg and Kaplan. Ginzburg and Soudry integrated these coefficients against cusp forms to obtain Eisenstein series induced from shorter Speh representations and arbitrary cuspidal data. We determine the corresponding local modules over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of characteristic zero. Let $q_F$ be the cardinality of its residue field. Let $J_s$ be the twisted Jacquet module of the representation induced from $Δ(τ,m+i)|\det|^s$. It carries an action of $G\times H$, where $G$ and $H$ are split symplectic or special orthogonal groups. Let $σ$ be an admissible representation of $G$ of finite length. We prove that $(J_s\otimesσ)_G$ is induced from $Δ(τ,i)|\det|^s$ and a fixed conjugate of $σ$, outside a finite set of values of $q_F^{-s}$ depending on $τ$ and $σ$. No genericity assumption on $σ$ is needed. For irreducible $σ$, this determines all irreducible quotients of $J_s$ of the form $σ^\vee\boxtimesπ$. The proof computes every orbit contribution, including those that vanish globally by cuspidality. It also gives an explicit finite set containing the exceptional parameters. This set is empty for irreducible supercuspidal $σ$ unless $G$ is the split group $\mathrm{SO}_2$. We prove the analogous result for the symplectic double cover. Over finite fields of large characteristic, we give the complete decomposition of the twisted Jacquet module when $τ$ is cuspidal on $\mathrm{GL}_n$ and $n$ is larger than the rank of $G$.
