Integral structures in smooth $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$-representations and zeta integrals

TL;DR
The paper develops an integral, lattice-theoretic framework for spherical GL$_2$(\mathbf{Q}_p) representations and their interaction with toric periods under an unramified torus H. By placing these representations in a universal Hecke-module setting and employing zeta-integrals and Shintani techniques, it proves an integral analogue of multiplicity one and establishes optimal, explicitly controlled norm-relations linked to local $L$-factors; it also extends to toric periods of modular forms, giving integrality statements that interpolate across unramified data via universal objects. The results yield a robust arithmetic refinement of Waldspurger-type toric period phenomena and provide explicit formulas tying Shintani data to Satake parameters and local Euler factors, with split and non-split torus cases treated distinctly. Overall, the work advances the integral theory in the relative Langlands program for GL$_2$ and supplies tools for arithmetic applications to Euler systems and modular forms.
Abstract
Using zeta-integrals and lattices of functions on a spherical variety, we study integral structures in spherical representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Q}_p)$ and their interaction with the unique linear functional invariant under an unramified maximal torus. Within this framework, we reformulate and prove the first instance of optimality of abstract integral norm-relations as proposed by Loeffler. We also interpret this as a form of integrality for toric periods associated to modular forms, where part of it can be regarded as an arithmetic integral analogue of Waldspurger's multiplicity one in the unramified setting.
