Abstract

Let V1,V2,V3V_1,V_2,V_3 be a triple of even dimensional vector spaces over a number field FF equipped with nondegenerate quadratic forms Q1,Q2,Q3\mathcal{Q}_1,\mathcal{Q}_2,\mathcal{Q}_3, respectively. Let Yi=13ViY \subset \prod_{i=1}^3 V_i be the closed subscheme consisting of (v1,v2,v3)(v_1,v_2,v_3) such that Q1(v1)=Q2(v2)=Q3(v3)\mathcal{Q}_1(v_1)=\mathcal{Q}_2(v_2)=\mathcal{Q}_3(v_3). One has a Poisson summation formula for this scheme under suitable assumptions on the functions involved, but the relevant Fourier transform was previously only defined as a correspondence. In the current paper we employ a novel global-to-local argument to prove that this Fourier transform is well-defined on the Schwartz space of Y(AF).Y(\mathbb{A}_F). To execute the global-to-local argument, we introduce boundary terms and thereby extend the Poisson summation formula to a broader class of test functions. This is the first time a summation formula with boundary terms has been proven for a spherical variety that is not a Braverman-Kazhdan space.
