Abstract:
Let be a quadratic extension of number fields. Suppose that every real place of splits in and let be the unitary group in 3 variables. Suppose that is an automorphic cuspidal representation of . We prove that there is a form in the space of such that the integral of over is non zero. Our proof is based on earlier results and the notion, discussed in this paper, of Shalika germs for certain Kloosterman integrals.
