Abstract

In this note, we revisit the Rankin-Selberg integral of Shimura type for generic representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2\times \mathrm{GL}_2$, constructed by Ginzburg, Rallis, and Soudry. We give a different and more ``intrinsic'' proof of the unramified computation. In contrast to their proof we avoid local functional equation for the general linear groups but use the Casselman-Shalika formulas for unramified Whittaker functions for $\mathrm{SL}_2$ and $\mathrm{GL}_2$.
