Pullbacks of Eisenstein series from GU(3,3) and critical L-values for GSp(4) X GL(2)

TL;DR

This paper establishes a pullback formula for Eisenstein series on GU(3,3), deriving an explicit integral representation for the L-function of a Siegel form and a classical form, confirming a Deligne conjecture prediction.

Contribution

It generalizes Shimura's construction by providing a new pullback formula and an explicit integral representation for the L-function of F x g.

Findings

Derived an explicit integral representation for L(s, F x g)

Proved a reciprocity law for critical L-values

Confirmed Deligne's conjecture prediction for these values

Abstract

Let F be a genus two Siegel newform and g a classical newform, both of squarefree levels and of equal weight l. We prove a pullback formula for certain Eisenstein series -- thus generalizing a construction of Shimura -- and use this to derive an explicit integral representation for the degree eight L-function L(s, F X g). This integral representation involves the pullback of a simple Siegel-type Eisenstein series on the unitary group GU(3,3). As an application, we prove a reciprocity law -- predicted by Deligne's conjecture -- for the critical special values L(m, F X g) where m is an integer, 2 <= m <= l/2-1.
