Stable base change from unitary groups in three variables and integral relation of automorphic periods
Abstract
Let E be a real quadratic field and let UE be the quasi-split unitary group in three variables associated with E. We prove a p-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation πU of UE and the periods of its Rogawski stable base change to GL3(E). This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and Hida in the case of GL2. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods for self-conjugate cuspidal automorphic representations of GL3(E), defined within the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology rather than the top or bottom degrees. Moreover, we prove an à la Hida adjoint L-value formula for GL3(E), relating these newly defined middle-degree periods to the usual top and bottom automorphic periods. Finally, we also prove a similar formula for UE, which is the first instance of such a result for quasi-split unitary groups.

AB - Let E be a real quadratic field and let U_E be the quasi-split unitary group in three variables associated with E. We prove a p-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation π_U of U_E and the periods of its Rogawski stable base change to GL_3(E). This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and Hida in the case of GL_2. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods for self-conjugate cuspidal automorphic representations of GL_3(E), defined within the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology rather than the top or bottom degrees. Moreover, we prove an à la Hida adjoint L-value formula for GL_3(E), relating these newly defined middle-degree periods to the usual top and bottom automorphic periods. Finally, we also prove a similar formula for U_E, which is the first instance of such a result for quasi-split unitary groups.
