Parahoric level $p$-adic $L$-functions for automorphic representations of ${\mathrm{GL}}_{2n}$ with Shalika models

Abstract

We construct $p$-adic $L$-functions for regularly refined cuspidal automorphic representations of symplectic type on ${\mathrm{GL}}_{2n}$ over totally real fields, which are parahoric spherical at every finite place. Furthermore, we prove etaleness of the parabolic eigenvariety at such points and construct $p$-adic $L$-functions in families. The novel local ingredients are the construction of improved Ash--Ginzburg Shalika functionals and production of Friedberg--Jacquet test vectors relating local zeta integrals to automorphic $L$-functions beyond the spherical level. Our proofs rely on a generalization of Shahidi's theory of local coefficients to Shalika models, for which we establish a general factorization formula related to the exterior square automorphic $L$-function.
