Abstract

Let E/FE/F be a quadratic extension of pp-adic fields and U2r+1\textrm{U}_{2r+1} be the unitary group associated with E/FE/F. We prove the following local converse theorem for U2r+1\textrm{U}_{2r+1}: given two irreducible generic supercuspidal representations π,π0\pi,\pi_0 of U2r+1\textrm{U}_{2r+1} with the same central character, if γ(s,π×τ,ψ)=γ(s,π0×τ,ψ)\gamma(s,\pi\times \tau,\psi)=\gamma(s,\pi_0\times \tau,\psi) for all irreducible generic representation τ\tau of GLn(E)\textrm{GL}_n(E) and for all nn with 1nr1\le n\le r, then ππ0\pi\cong \pi_0. The proof depends on analysis of the local integrals which define local gamma factors and uses certain properties of partial Bessel functions developed by Cogdell-Shahidi-Tsai recently.
