Explicit Calculations of Automorphic Forms for Definite Unitary Groups

I give an algorithm for computing the full space of automorphic forms for definite unitary groups over Q, and apply this to calculate the automorphic forms of level G(Ẑ) and various small weights for an example of a rank 3 unitary group. This leads to some examples of various types of endoscopic lifting from automorphic forms for U1 × U1 × U1 and U1 × U2, and to an example of a non-endoscopic f...

Automorphic representations with prescribed ramification for unitary groups

Let F be a totally real number field, n a prime integer, and G a unitary group of rank n defined over F that is compact at infinity. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of automorphic representations of G whose factors at finitely many places are prescribed up to inertia. These factors are specified by local inertial types, and the proof relies crucially on a bound on the traces of th...

Deformations of Polarized Automorphic Galois Representations and Adjoint Selmer Groups

We prove the vanishing of the geometric Bloch–Kato Selmer group for the adjoint representation of a Galois representation associated to regular algebraic polarized cuspidal automorphic representations under an assumption on the residual image. Using this, we deduce that the localization and completion of a certain universal deformation ring for the residual representation at the characteristic ...

Behavior of $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups

‎We study $R$-groups for $p$-adic inner forms of quasi-split special unitary groups‎. ‎We prove Arthur's conjecture‎, ‎the isomorphism between the Knapp-Stein $R$-group and the Langlands-Arthur $R$-group‎, ‎for quasi-split special unitary groups and their inner forms‎. ‎Furthermore‎, ‎we investigate the invariance of the Knapp-Stein $R$-group within $L$-packets and between inner forms‎. ‎This w...
