Integrality of $\mathrm{GL}_2\times\mathrm{GL}_2$ Rankin-Selberg integrals for ramified representations

TL;DR

This paper studies the integrality properties of Rankin-Selberg integrals for ramified representations of GL(2) over p-adic fields, providing an integral refinement of a classical GCD result.

Contribution

It introduces a new notion of integral data for ramified representations and proves an integral refinement of Jacquet-Langland's GCD-result for these integrals.

Findings

Established an integral refinement of the GCD-result for Rankin-Selberg integrals.

Defined a natural notion of integral data compatible with Fourier coefficients of newforms.

Reinterpreted the zeta-integral using works on p-adic Whittaker vectors.

Abstract

Let $\pi_1,\pi_2$ be irreducible admissible generic tempered representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(F)$ for some finite extension $F/\mathbf{Q}_p$ of odd residue characteristic. Inspired by work of Loeffler and previous work of the author on unramified zeta-integrals, we introduce a natural general notion of $(\pi_1\times\pi_2)$-integral data at which the Rankin-Selberg zeta-integral can be evaluated. We then establish an integral refinement of Jacquet-Langland's GCD-result for this zeta-integral, when evaluated at $(\pi_1\times\pi_2)$-integral data. This is compatible with the notion of integrality coming from the Fourier coefficients of newforms of even integral weights. Our approach relies on a reinterpretation of the Rankin-Selberg zeta-integral, and works of Assing and Saha on values of $p$-adic Whittaker new vectors.
