Abstract:
This paper investigates the local integrals \[ Z_m(t,\chi )=\int _{H_m(O_C)} \chi ( \det (x)) | \det (x) |^s dx\] where $O_C$ represents the integers of a composition algebra over a non-archimedean local field $K$ and $\chi$ is a non-trivial character on the units in the ring of integers of $K$ extended to $K^*$ by setting $\chi (\pi )=1$. The local zeta function for the trivial character is known for all composition algebras $C$. In this paper, we show in the quaternion case that $Z(t, \chi )=0$ for all non-trivial characters and then compute the local zeta function in the ramified quadratic extension case for $\chi$ equal to the quadratic character. In this latter case, $Z(t, \chi )=0$ for any character of order greater than $2$.References
