Stability of local gamma factors arising from the doubling method for general spin groups

Abstract

In this work we prove that the local $\gamma$-factor arising from the doubling integrals for split general spin groups is stable. This deep property of the $\gamma$-factor constitutes an important ingredient in the application of the (generalized) doubling method to the construction of a global functorial lift. We obtain our result by adapting the arguments of Rallis and Soudry who proved the stability property for symplectic and orthogonal groups.
