About the Lab

Professor Young-Sung Cho's research focuses on the arithmetic and representation-theoretic aspects of automorphic forms and L-functions, particularly in the context of local and global Langlands functoriality. His work centers on establishing precise equalities between L-functions arising from integral representations and their corresponding Artin L-functions via the local Langlands correspondence, especially for symmetric square, exterior square, Asai, and Rankin–Selberg L-functions. He investigates the stability of local factors under twisting and the role of Whittaker functions and test vectors in connecting periods to special values of L-functions. His research also extends to subconvexity bounds in the subconvexity problem using advanced analytic techniques such as the delta method and second moment methods.

Hybrid level aspect subconvexity for GL(2) × GL(1) Rankin-Selberg L-Functions
Keshav Aggarwal, Yeongseong Jo, Kevin Nowland
SJR Q3Hardy-Ramanujan JournalOA

Let $M$ be a squarefree positive integer and $P$ a prime number coprime to $M$ such that $P \sim M^{\eta}$ with $0 < \eta < 2/5$. We simplify the proof of subconvexity bounds for $L(\frac{1]{2}, f \otimes \chi)$ when $f$ is a primitive holomorphic cusp form of level $P$ and $\chi$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $M$. These bounds are attained through an unamplified second moment method using a modified version of the delta method due to R. Munshi. The technique is similar to that

The local period integrals and essential vectors
Yeongseong Jo
SJR Q2Mathematische Nachrichten

Abstract By applying the formula for essential Whittaker functions established by Matringe and Miyauchi, we study five integral representations for irreducible admissible generic representations of GL n over p ‐adic fields. In each case, we show that the integrals achieve local formal L ‐functions defined by Langlands parameters, when the test vector is associated to the new form. We give the relation between local periods involving essential Whittaker functions and special values of formal L ‐f

RANKIN–SELBERG INTEGRALS FOR LOCAL SYMMETRIC SQUARE FACTORS ON GL(2)
Yeongseong Jo
SJR Q1Mathematika

Let π be an irreducible admissible (complex) representation of G L ( 2 ) over a non-Archimedean characteristic zero local field with odd residual characteristic. In this paper, we prove the equality between the local symmetric square L-function associated to π arising from integral representations and the corresponding Artin L-function for its Langlands parameter through the local Langlands correspondence. With this in hand, we show the stability of local symmetric γ-factors attached to π under

Local exterior square and Asai L-functions forGL(n) in odd characteristic
Yeongseong Jo
SJR Q1Pacific Journal of MathematicsOA

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of odd characteristic $p > 0$. In this paper, we consider local exterior square $L$-functions $L(s,\pi,\wedge^2)$, Bump-Friedberg $L$-functions $L(s,\pi,BF)$, and Asai $L$-functions $L(s,\pi,As)$ of an irreducible admissible representation $\pi$ of $GL_m(F)$. In particular, we establish that those $L$-functions, via the theory of integral representations, are equal to their corresponding Artin $L$-functions $L(s,\wedge^2(\phi(\pi)))$, $L(s+1/2,\phi(\pi))L

Rankin–Selberg L-functions via good sections
Yeongseong Jo
SJR Q1Forum Mathematicum

Abstract In this article, we revisit Rankin–Selberg integrals established by Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shalika. We prove the equality of Rankin–Selberg local factors defined with Schwartz–Bruhat functions and the factors attached to good sections, introduced by Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis. Moreover, we propose a notion of exceptional poles in the framework of good sections. For cases of Rankin–Selberg, Asai and exterior square L -functions, the exceptional poles are consistent with well-kn

We study four sums including the Jacquet--Piatetski-Shapiro--Shalika, Flicker, Bump--Friedberg, and Jacquet--Shalika sums associated to irreducible cuspidal representations of general linear groups over finite fields. By computing explicitly, we relate Asai and Bump--Friedberg gamma factors over finite fields to those over nonarchimedean local fields through level zero supercuspidal representation. Via Deligne--Kazhdan close field theory, we prove that exterior square and Bump--Friedberg gamma f

The Langlands-Shahidi method for pairs via types and covers

arXiv (Cornell University)OA

We compute the local coefficient attached to a pair $(π_1,π_2)$ of supercuspidal (complex) representations of the general linear group using the theory of types and covers à la Bushnell-Kutzko. In the process, we obtain another proof of a well-known formula of Shahidi for the corresponding Plancherel constant. The approach taken here can be adapted to other situations of arithmetic interest within the context of the Langlands-Shahidi method, particularly, to that of a Siegel Levi subgroup inside

SJR Q2The Quarterly Journal of Mathematics

ABSTRACT Let F be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic different from 2 and G be either an odd special orthogonal group ${\rm SO}_{2r+1}(F)$ or a symplectic group ${\rm Sp}_{2r}(F)$. In this paper, we establish the local converse theorem for G. Namely, for given two irreducible admissible generic representations of G with the same central character, if they have the same local gamma factors twisted by irreducible supercuspidal representations of ${\rm GL}_n(F)$ for all $1 \le n \le r$

Let $π$ be an irreducible admissible representation of $GL_m(F)$, where $F$ is a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. We follow the method developed by Cogdell and Piatetski-Shapiro to complete the computation of the local exterior square $L$-function $L(s,π,\wedge^2)$ in terms of $L$-functions of supercuspidal representations via an integral representation established by Jacquet and Shalika in $1990$.
