On fields of rationality for automorphic representations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2014
Abstract
This paper proves two results on the field of rationality $\mathbb{Q}({\it\pi})$ for an automorphic representation ${\it\pi}$, which is the subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ fixed under the subgroup of $\text{Aut}(\mathbb{C})$ stabilizing the isomorphism class of the finite part of ${\it\pi}$. For general linear groups and classical groups, our first main result is the finiteness of the set of discrete automorphic representations ${\it\pi}$ such that ${\it\pi}$ is unramified away from a fixed finite set of places, ${\it\pi}_{\infty }$ has a fixed infinitesimal character, and $[\mathbb{Q}({\it\pi}):\mathbb{Q}]$ is bounded. The second main result is that for classical groups, $[\mathbb{Q}({\it\pi}):\mathbb{Q}]$ grows to infinity in a family of automorphic representations in level aspect whose infinite components are discrete series in a fixed $L$-packet under mild conditions.
