Doubling integrals for Brylinski-Deligne extensions of classical groups

Abstract: In the 1980s, Piatetski-Shapiro and Rallis discovered a family of Rankin-Selberg integrals for the classical groups that did not rely on Whittaker models. This is the so-called doubling method. It grew out of Rallis' work on the inner products of theta lifts -- the Rallis inner product formula.

Recently, a family of global integrals that represent the tensor product L-functions for classical groups (joint with Friedberg, Ginzburg, and Kaplan) and the tensor product L-functions for covers of symplectic groups (Kaplan) was discovered. These can be viewed as generalizations of the doubling method. In this talk, we explain how to develop the doubling integrals for Brylinski-Deligne extensions of connected classical groups. This gives a family of Eulerian global integrals for this class of non-linear extensions.
