Let F be a number field with discriminant ∆F . Denote its (normalized) absolute values by SF , and write SF = Sfin · ∪ S∞, where S∞ denotes the collection of all archimedean valuations. For simplicity, we use v (resp. σ) to denote elements in Sfin (resp. S∞). Denote by A = AF the ring of adeles of F , and Glr(A) the rank r general linear group over A, and write A := Afin ⊕A∞ and Glr(A) := Glr(A...
