On a Rankin-Selberg integral of three Hermitian cusp forms
Abstract
Let . We study the Petersson inner product of a Hermitian Eisenstein series of Siegel type on the unitary group , diagonally-restricted on , against two Hermitian cuspidal eigenforms of degree and an elliptic cuspidal eigenform (seen as a Hermitian modular form of degree 1), all having weight . We obtain, through this consideration, an integral representation of a certain Dirichlet series, together with an additional residue term. By taking to belong in the Maass space, we are able to show that the Dirichlet series possesses an Euler product. Moreover, its -factor for an inert prime can be essentially identified with the twist by of a degree six Euler factor attached to by Gritsenko. The question of whether the same holds for the primes that split remains unanswered here, even though we make considerable steps in that direction too. Our paper is inspired by a work of Heim, who considered a similar question in the case of Siegel modular forms.
