Abstract

One of the authors (Chen) had previously proved a result on the behavior of Betti-Whittaker periods under duality for cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n/{\mathbb Q}$ under some regularity assumptions while using their relation to $L$-values as an anchor in his proof. In this article we prove a generalization of this result to ${\rm GL}_n$ over any number field $F$ without any regularity assumptions and without recourse to $L$-values, while using the outer-automorphism of ${\rm GL}_n$ as the main tool. Then, using results of Harder and one of the other authors (Raghuram), we give applications to new rationality results for the ratios of special values of general triple product $L$-functions and for general twisted Asai $L$-functions. We also give a new proof of a previous result of Bhagwat and Raghuram on the special values of $L$-functions for orthogonal groups. We present variations on period relations for the Betti-Shalika periods under duality, and the behavior of Betti-Whittaker periods under Galois automorphisms of $F$.

Computations of Cohomology of Arithmetic Groups, Part 1

The key part of the current paper is the computation of boundary and Eisenstein cohomology of $GL_4({\mathbb Z})$ with coefficient in any highest weight representations. The method we develop let us compute in an alternative way the cohomology of $SL_3({\mathbb Z})$ and of $GL_3({\mathbb Z})$ with coefficients in any h...

Geometric Invariant Theory of Peterson Varieties

We study the GIT quotients of the Peterson variety $\mathrm{Pet}_n\subset \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb C)/B$ under a one-parameter subgroup $\lambda:\mathbb G_m \to T$ with respect to the linearization $\mathcal L(\chi)$ given by a regular dominant character $\chi$ in the root lattice. Using the Richardson stratification, we...

Stable Trace Formula for Newton strata of Shimura varieties

Let $(G,X)$ be a Shimura datum of abelian type satisfying the hypotheses of the main theorem, and suppose that the associated Shimura varieties have hyperspecial good reduction at $p$. Their special fibres are stratified by the $\sigma$-conjugacy classes $b\in B(G_{\mathbb{Q}_p},\mu_h^{-1})$. For an individual Newton s...

Facets of nondegeneracy: central type factor groups, Heisenberg representations and Hadamard matrices

Given a pair of complementary subgroups $P$ and $N$ of a finite group $G$, we first discuss how the same type of functions $\mathbb E\colon P\times N\to \mathbb T$, which we call bi-$1$-cocycles, appear naturally in the study of projective representations of $G$ of Heisenberg type and second cohomology of $G$ and of it...

$\Kab$ has the Bogomolov property for canonical heights

We show that for any number field $K$ and any rational map $f$ in $K(x)$ that is not conjugate to a power, (signed) Chebyshev or Latt\`es map, then $K^{\mathrm{ab}}$ has the strong Bogomolov property for the canonical height of $f$. We also classify the pairs $(f,\alpha)$ whose backward orbit contains infinitely many a...

The Drinfeld associator and $A_\infty$ functors

We compare two mixed Hodge structures attached to a unipotent variation $\mathbb V$ of mixed Hodge--Tate structures on $X=\mathbb P^1\setminus{0,1,\infty}$: the cohomology of its extension by $*$ at $0$ and by $!$ at $\infty$, and the vanishing cycles at $1$. The semi-holonomy isomorphism constructed in [arXiv:2604.263...
