On the Kottwitz-Shelstad transfer factor for automorphic induction for GL(n)

Abstract:

For a reductive group G and its endoscopic group H over a p-adic field, the functorial transfer from H to G should be characterized in terms of the character identity. For automorphic induction for GL(n), this identity was established by Henniart and Herb, up to a constant. We discuss a relation of this constant to the Kottwitz-Shelstad transfer factor, in particular, to the epsilon factor normalization.
