The triality of the twisted discrete trace formula for PGSO(8)
In this paper, we establish the triality twisted trace formula for PGSO(8), including its discrete part, and obtain a coarse classification of its automorphic representations by combining the properties of triality. By comparing the standard trace formula for G_2 with the triality twisted trace formula for PGSO(8), we derive a corresponding coarse classification for automorphic representations of G_2. Specifically, we construct the triality-twisted elliptic endoscopic data for PGSO(8), and the elliptic endoscopic data for G_2. Based on these constructions and the general framework of trace formulas, we establish the relevant trace formulas. Utilizing the triality property of PGSO(8), we obtain a coarse classification of its automorphic representations, which in turn yields a coarse classification for those of G_2.
