Abstract

At the beginning of this century, Langlands introduced a strategy known as \emph{Beyond Endoscopy} to attack the principle of functoriality. Altu\u{g} studied GL2\mathsf{GL}_2 over Q\mathbb{Q} in the unramified setting. The first step involves isolating specific representations, especially the residual part of the spectral side, in the elliptic part of the geometric side of the trace formula. We generalize this step to the case with ramification at S={,q1,,qr}S=\{\infty,q_1,\dots,q_r\} with 2S2\in S, thereby fully resolving the problem of isolating these representations over Q\mathbb{Q} which remained unresolved for over a decade. Such a formula that isolates the specific representations is derived by modifying Altu\u{g}'s approach. We use the approximate functional equation to ensure the validity of the Poisson summation formula. Then, we compute the residues of specific functions to isolate the desired representations.
