A relative trace formula for PGL(2) in the local setting

Brooke Feigon

Vol. 260 (2012), No. 2, 395–432
Abstract

We develop the local Kuznetsov trace formula on a unitary group in two variables for an unramified quadratic extension of local, non-Archimedean fields E∕F and compare it to a local relative trace formula on PGL(2,E). To define the local distributions for the relative trace formula, we define a regularized local period integral and prove that it is a PGL(2,F)-invariant linear functional. By comparison of the two local trace formulas, we get an equality between a local PGL(2,F)-period and local Whittaker functionals.
