In [2], J. Arthur classifies the automorphic discrete spectrum of symplectic groups up to global Arthur packets. We continue with our investigation of Fourier coefficients and their implication to the structure of the cuspidal spectrum for symplectic groups ([16] and [20]). As result, we obtain certain characterization and construction of small cuspidal automorphic representations and gain a better understanding of global Arthur packets and of the structure of local unramified components of the cuspidal spectrum, which has impacts to the generalized Ramanujan problem as posted by P. Sarnak in [43].

The existence of the well-known Jacquet–Langlands correspondence was established by Jacquet and Langlands via the trace formula method in 1970. An explicit construction of such a correspondence was obtained by Shimizu via theta series in 1972. In this paper, we extend the automorphic descent method of Ginzburg–Rallis–Soudry to a new setting. As a consequence, we recover the classical Jacquet–Langlands correspondence for PGL(2) via a new explicit construction.

Abstract We present a relative trace formula approach to the Gross–Zagier formula and its generalization to higher-dimensional unitary Shimura vari- eties. As a crucial ingredient, we formulate a conjectural arithmetic funda- mental lemma for unitary Rapoport–Zink spaces. We prove the conjecture when the Rapoport–Zink space is associated to a unitary group in two or three variables.
