Jun 5, 2023 at 17:52 comment added GH from MO @MatyMangoo You are right, and I have now restricted the multiplicity one property to cuspidal automorphic representations. I think this property extends to unitary isobaric automorphic representations, but I don't know a reference off-hand.

Jun 5, 2023 at 14:27 comment added Maty Mangoo What do you exactly mean by "if you change finitely many local factors $\pi_{\nu}$ in a given automorphic representation $\pi=\bigotimes'_{\nu} \pi_{\nu}$ , the resulting global admissible representation will no longer be automorphic"? Due to strong multiplicity I lose 'cuspidality', but not necessarily automorphy (if that word exists)
Jun 5, 2023 at 13:22 comment added GH from MO @MatyMangoo Also, from a representation theoretic point of view, there is not much difference between $\mathbb{Q}$ and a number field.
Jun 5, 2023 at 13:22 comment added GH from MO @MatyMangoo The $L$-function of a (local or global) admissible representation is defined even when the representation is not generic. In the generic case, this $L$-function can also be obtained from the Whittaker function of a (local or global) newform. At any rate, the $L$-function of an automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ is a product of (global) cuspidal representations of $\mathrm{GL}_{n_j}$ with $n=\sum_j n_j$. It is conjectured that this decomposition is unique. See arxiv.org/abs/math/0609460 more detail, and how this fits into the Langlands program.
Jun 5, 2023 at 12:59 comment added Maty Mangoo @GH I honestly don't agree on that; an admissible representation is generic (embeddable into some induced representation of an additive char $\psi = \otimes \psi_{\nu} \colon k \backslash \mathbb{A} \to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$, if and only if the local components are for $\psi_{\nu}$. There are plenty of non-generic representations, but maybe you can show me a reference for that?
Jun 5, 2023 at 12:38 comment added Maty Mangoo Oh yes, those two books are quite nice, although they only treat the case $k = \mathbb{Q}$.

Jun 5, 2023 at 12:33 comment added Maty Mangoo Thanks @GH. I see. And what is then the difference between cuspidal automorphic and just automorphic in relation with their $L$-functions? I thought one could attach $L$-fcts to cuspidal reps (as to cuspidal modular forms), as they are generic (i.e. have Whittaker models). A general automorphic form does not neet to be generic.
