On the enhanced Shahidi conjecture and global applications

Abstract: In this paper, applying the intersection theory of local Arthur packets, for symplectic and split odd special orthogonal groups G_n, we give the first complete proof of the enhanced Shahidi conjecture on generic representations in local Arthur packets. We also classify unramified representations of Arthur type for G_n, and show that they lie in exactly one local Arthur packet, which is anti-generic. Then, we discuss the global applications of these results.
