ON RESIDUES OF INTERTWINING OPERATORS FOR HEISENBERG PARABOLIC SUBGROUPS

Abstract We consider induced representations $\operatorname {\mathrm {Ind}}_{\mathrm {P}(F)}^{\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}(F)} \pi $ , where $\mathrm {P}$ is a maximal parabolic subgroup of a reductive group $\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}$ over a p -adic field F , and $(\pi , V)$ is a unitary supercuspidal representation of $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}(F)$ , $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}$ being some Levi subgroup of $\mathrm {P}$ . Imposing a certain ‘Heisenberg parabolic subgroup’ assumption on $\mathrm {P}$ , we apply the method of Goldberg, Shahidi and Spallone to obtain an expression for a certain constant $R(\tilde {\pi })$ , which captures the residue of a family $s \mapsto A(s, \pi , w_0)$ of intertwining operators associated to this situation, in terms of harmonic analysis on the twisted Levi subgroup $\tilde {\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}(F) := \operatorname {\mathrm {M}}(F) w_0$ . For $\operatorname {\mathrm {G}}$ absolutely almost simple and simply connected of type $G_2$ or $D_4$ (resp., $B_3$ ), and $\mathrm {P}$ satisfying the ‘Heisenberg’ condition, if the central character of $\pi $ is nontrivial (resp., trivial) on $\operatorname {\mathrm {A}}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}(F)$ , where $\operatorname {\mathrm {A}}_{\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}}$ is the connected centre of $\operatorname {\mathrm {M}}$ , our formula for $R(\tilde {\pi })$ can be rewritten in terms of the Langlands parameter of
