Abstract

Let K=Q(i)K = \mathbb{Q}(i). We study the Petersson inner product of a Hermitian Eisenstein series of Siegel type on the unitary group U5(K)U_{5}(K), diagonally-restricted on U2(K)×U2(K)×U1(K)U_2(K)\times U_2(K)\times U_1(K), against two Hermitian cuspidal eigenforms F,GF, G of degree 22 and an elliptic cuspidal eigenform hh (seen as a Hermitian modular form of degree 1), all having weight k0(mod4)k \equiv 0 \pmod 4. We obtain, through this consideration, an integral representation of a certain Dirichlet series, together with an additional residue term. By taking FF to belong in the Maass space, we are able to show that the Dirichlet series possesses an Euler product. Moreover, its pp-factor for an inert prime pp can be essentially identified with the twist by hh of a degree six Euler factor attached to GG 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.
