The value of the global intertwining operators on spherical vectors
Résumé
Let F be a global field, G an unramified quasi-split reductive group over F and chi an everywhere unramified automorphic character of a maximal maximally split torus of G. Using Langlands-Shahidi theory, we compute the meromorphic function defined by the action of a global standard intertwining operator associated to chi on a spherical vector and show that the ratio of its poles in the positive Weyl chamber is well behaved.
