Local newforms, Paškūnas-Stevens Whittaker functions, and explicit test vectors for $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times \mathrm{GL}(n)$
Abstract
Recently, Girsch-Kurinczuk have obtained new formulas for local newforms in depth-zero and minimax integral-depth cuspidal representations of $p$-adic $\mathrm{GL}(n)$. One of their main results is an averaging formula which provides an integral representation of the Whittaker newform in terms of the Paškūnas-Stevens Whittaker function. In the present paper, we first prove a reverse averaging formula by establishing an integral representation of the Paškūnas-Stevens Whittaker function in terms of the Whittaker newform. Together, these formulas give an explicit two-way passage between these two distinguished vectors. Finally, we use our averaging formula and earlier work of Kurinczuk-Matringe to give new explicit test vectors in terms of Whittaker newforms for such cuspidal $\mathrm{GL}(n)\times\mathrm{GL}(n)$ pairs, whenever their Rankin-Selberg $L$-factor is not identically equal to $1$.
