Title:
Symplectic root numbers for GL(2)
Abstract of Talk
The aim of this talk is to discuss some questions about local
root numbers attached to symplectic representations of
GL(2,F), where F is a p-adic field, which form part of a
joint work with Dipendra Prasad. However, we will mostly
focus on the number theoretic background from which these
questions naturally emerge. The talk is aimed at a general
audience and no prior knowledge will be assumed.
