Period relations for automorphic induction and applications, I

Abstract

Let $K$ be a quadratic imaginary field. Let $\Pi$ (resp. ${\Pi }^{\prime }$) be a regular algebraic cuspidal representation of $G{L}_n(K)$ (resp. $G{L}_{n-1}(K)$) which is moreover cohomological and conjugate self-dual. In \cite{harris97}, M. Harris has defined automorphic periods of such a representation. These periods are automorphic analogues of motivic periods. In this paper, we show that automorphic periods are functorial in the case where $\Pi$ is a cyclic automorphic induction of a Hecke character $\chi$ over a CM field. More precisely, we prove relations between automorphic periods of $\Pi$ and those of $\chi$. As a corollary, we refine the formula given by H. Grobner and M. Harris of critical values for the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function $L(s,\Pi \times {\Pi }^{\prime })$ in terms of automorphic periods. This completes the proof of an automorphic version of Deligne's conjecture in certain cases.
