Following the method developed by Waldspurger and Beuzart-Plessis in their proof of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture, we prove a local trace formula for the Ginzburg-Rallis model. By applying this trace formula, we prove the multiplicity one theorem for the Ginzburg-Rallis model over the tempered Vogan L-packets. In some cases, we also prove the epsilon dichotomy conjecture which gives a relation between the multiplicity and the exterior cube epsilon factor. This is a sequel work of [Wan15] in which we proved the geometric side of the trace formula.

We study a local multiplicity problem related to so-called generalized Shalika models. By establishing a local trace formula for these kind of models, we are able to prove a multiplicity formula for discrete series. As a result, we can show that these multiplicities are constant over every discrete Vogan L-packet and are related to local exterior square L-functions.

For each positive characteristic multiple zeta value defined by Thakur, the first and third authors constructed a t-module such that a certain coordinate of a logarithmic vector of a specified algebraic point is a rational multiple of that multiple zeta value. The main result in this paper gives explicit formulae for all of the coordinates of this logarithmic vector in terms of Taylor coefficients of t-motivic multiple zeta values and t-motivic Carlitz multiple star polylogarithms.
