Abstract

Let GG be a real reductive group, and let χ\chi be a character of a reductive subgroup HH of GG. We construct χ\chi-invariant linear functionals on certain cohomologically induced representations of GG, and show that these linear functionals do not vanish on the bottom layers. Applying this construction, we prove two archimedean non-vanishing assumptions, which are crucial in the study of special values of L-functions via modular symbols.

Comments

We still do not have a proof of "Theorem 4.3" of Version 1. The following correction is made in this version: the invariant bilinear form in the proof of Lemma A.4, which is incorrectly used in the last version, is now changed to an invariant inner product
