TL;DR
The paper develops a non-zero criterion for Mœglin-Renard's parametrization of Arthur packets for real unitary groups ${\mathrm U}(p,q)$, presenting a system of linear-type constraints that mirror the $p$-adic criterion of Atobe and Trapa. It introduces a robust framework based on admissible segment arrangements, transition maps between parameter spaces, and a refined Trapa-style tableau analysis to ensure the criterion is both necessary and sufficient. By aligning the real and $p$-adic formalisms, the work suggests a map between Arthur-Vogan packets across the real and $p$-adic settings, potentially enabling a unified perspective on endoscopic classification. The results provide concrete, checkable conditions for non-vanishing of $A_{\mathfrak q}(\lambda)$ and illuminate how cohomological induction interacts with parametrization under various admissible orders. Overall, the approach enhances explicit understanding of multiplicity-one phenomena and deepens connections between real and $p$-adic Arthur packets.
Abstract
Mœglin-Renard parametrized A-packet of unitary group through cohomological induction in good parity case. Each parameter gives rise to an $A_{\mathfrak q}(λ)$ which is either $0$ or irreducible. Trapa proposed an algorithm to determine whether a ``mediocre'' $A_{\mathfrak q}(λ)$ of $\mathrm U(p, q)$ is non-zero. Based on his result, we present a further understanding of the non-zero condition on Mœglin-Renard's parametrization. Our criterion comes out to be a system of linear constraints, and has the same formulation as $p$-adic case. This suggests a map from A-packets of real unitary group to A-packets of $p$-adic symplectic group or special orthogonal group.
