Cuspidal part of an Eisenstein series restricted to an index 2 subfield

Abstract

Let E be a quadratic algebra over a number field F. Let E(g, s) be an Eisenstein series on GL2(E), and let F be a cuspidal automorphic form on GL2(F). We will consider in this paper the following automorphic integral: ∫F(g)E(g,s)dg. ZaGL2(F)\GL2(AF) This is in some sense the complementary case to the well-known Rankin–Selberg integral and the triple product formula. We will approach this integral by Waldspurger’s formula, giving a criterion about when the integral is automatically zero, and otherwise the L-functions it represents. We will also calculate the local integrals at some ramified places, where the level of the ramification can be arbitrarily large.
