Epsilon factors of representations of finite general linear groups

Representation Theory 2020-11-06 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We define epsilon factors for irreducible representations of finite general linear groups using Macdonald's correspondence. These epsilon factors satisfy multiplicativity, and are expressible as products of Gauss sums. The tensor product epsilon factors are related to the Rankin-Selberg gamma factors, by which we prove that the Rankin-Selberg gamma factors can be written as products of Gauss sums. The exterior square epsilon factors relate the Jacquet-Shalika exterior square gamma factors and the Langlands-Shahidi exterior square gamma factors for level zero supercuspidal representations. We prove that these exterior square factors coincide in a special case.
