Branching laws for classical groups: the non-tempered case

摘要

This paper generalizes the Gan-Gross-Prasad (GGP) conjectures that were earlier formulated for tempered or more generally generic L-packets to Arthur packets, especially for the non-generic L-packets arising from Arthur parameters. The paper introduces the key notion of a relevant pair of Arthur parameters that governs the branching laws for GL(n) and all classical groups over both local fields and global fields. It plays a role for all the branching problems studied in Gan et al. Symplectic local root numbers, central critical L-values and restriction problems in the representation theory of classical groups. Sur les conjectures de Gross et Prasad. I, Asterisque 346 (2012), 1-109 including Bessel models and Fourier-Jacobi models.
