L-Functions for GSp(2) × GL(2): Archimedean Theory and Applications

Abstract

Abstract. Let Π be a generic cuspidal automorphic representation of GSp(2) defined over a totally real algebraic number field k whose archimedean type is either a (limit of) large discrete series representation or a certain principal series representation. Through explicit computation of archimedean local zeta integrals, we prove the functional equation of tensor product L-functions L(s,Π × σ) for an arbitrary cuspidal automorphic representation σ of GL(2). We also give an application to the spinor L-function of Π.
