On Iwahori–Whittaker functions for metaplectic groups

Whittaker Functions on Metaplectic Groups

The theory of Whittaker functions is of crucial importance in the classical study of automorphic forms on adele groups. Motivated by the appearance of Whittaker functions for covers of reductive groups in the theory of multiple Dirichlet series, we provide a study of Whittaker functions on metaplectic covers of reductive groups over local fields.

Automorphic Forms and Metaplectic Groups

In 1952, Gelfand and Fomin noticed that classical modular forms were related to representations of SL2(R). As a result of this realization, Gelfand later defined GLr automorphic forms via representation theory. A metaplectic form is just an automorphic form defined on a cover of GLr, called a metaplectic group. In this talk, we will carefully construct the metaplectic covers of GL2(F) where F i...

Twisted Whittaker models for metaplectic groups

Two Simple Observations on Representations of Metaplectic Groups

M. Hanzer and I. Matić have proved that the genuine unitary principal series representations of the metaplectic groups are irreducible. A simple consequence of that paper is a criterion for the irreducibility of the non-unitary principal series representations of the metaplectic groups that we give in this paper.

Principal Series Representations of Metaplectic Groups

We study the principal series representations of central extensions of a split reductive algebraic group by a cyclic group of order n. We compute the Plancherel measure of the representation using Eisenstein series and a comparison method. In addition, we construct genuine central characters of the metaplectic torus in the simply-laced case.
