On the analytic properties of intertwining operators I: global normalizing factors
arXiv:1603.05475
Abstract
We provide a uniform estimate for the -norm (over any interval of bounded length) of the logarithmic derivatives of global normalizing factors associated to intertwining operators for the following reductive groups over number fields: inner forms of ; quasi-split classical groups and their similitude groups; the exceptional group . This estimate is a key ingredient in the analysis of the spectral side of Arthur's trace formula. In particular, it is applicable to the limit multiplicity problem studied by the authors in earlier papers.
