On the Fourier expansion of Gan-Gurevich lifts on the exceptional group of type $G_2$

Abstract

By using the degenerate Whittaker functions, we study the Fourier expansion of the Gan-Gurevich lifts which are Hecke eigen quaternionic cusp forms of weight $k$ ($k\ge 2$, even) on the split exceptional group $G_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ which come from elliptic newforms of weight $2k$ without supercuspidal local components. In particular, our results give a partial answer to Gross' conjecture.
