Explicit formulas for the Bessel models: odd general spin groups

Abstract

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. In this work, we study the Bessel model for $\GSpin_{2n+1}$, extending a result of Bump, Friedberg and Furusawa. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for the unramified Bessel functions. These formulas have a global application to a Rankin--Selberg integral of the $L$-function for $\GSpin_{2n+1} \times \GL_n$, generalizing a construction of Furusawa. We compute the local factor of the global integral at a good place. Moreover, a corollary of this computation finds an application in a recent work of Asgari, Cogdell and Shahidi, specifically in their unramified computation.
