Abstract:

Let $F$ be a number field and let $\Bbb{A}_F$ be its ring of adeles. Let $B$ be a quaternion algebra over $F$ and let $\nu:B\to F$ be the reduced norm. Consider the reductive monoid $M$ over $F$ whose points in an $F$-algebra $R$ are given by $$M(R):=\big\{\big(\gamma_1,\gamma_2\big)\in\big(B\otimes_F R\big)^2:\nu\big(\gamma_1\big)=\nu\big(\gamma_2\big)\big\}.$$ Motivated by an influential conjecture of Braverman and Kazhdan we prove a summation formula analogous to the Poisson summation formula for certain spaces of functions on the monoid. As an application, we define new zeta integrals for the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function and prove their basic properties. We also use the formula to prove a nonabelian twisted trace formula, that is, a trace formula whose spectral side is given in terms of automorphic representations of the unit group of $M$ that are isomorphic (up to a twist by a character) to their conjugates under a simple nonabelian Galois group.
