Algebraicity and the $p$-adic Interpolation of Special $L$-values for certain Classical Groups

TL;DR
The paper develops a comprehensive doubling-method framework to represent standard L-functions of classical groups via global zeta integrals, explicitly constructing local sections to capture ramified factors. It proves algebraicity of certain special L-values after suitable normalization and constructs p-adic L-functions by interpolating these values across p-adic families, under ordinarity assumptions. The work extends Shimura/Deligne-type algebraicity results to symplectic, unitary, quaternionic unitary, and quaternionic orthogonal groups, and provides explicit local ramified L-factors and Fourier expansions of Eisenstein series to enable p-adic interpolation. The results have significant implications for arithmetic of automorphic L-values, p-adic interpolation, and connections to Shimura-variety frameworks and CM-periods.
Abstract
In this paper, we calculate the ramified local integrals in the doubling method and present an integral representation of standard $L$-functions for classical groups. We explicitly construct local sections of Eisenstein series such that the local ramified integrals represent certain ramified $L$-factors. As an application, we prove algebraicity of special $L$-values and construct $p$-adic $L$-functions for symplectic, unitary, quaternionic unitary and quaternionic orthogonal groups.
