Abstract:
For a pair $(\pi,\sigma)$ of cuspidal automorphic representations of $\GL_n$ and $\GL_{n-1}$, both of non-vanishing cohomology with possibly non-trivial coefficients, we show algebraicity properties of critical values of the associated Rankin-Selberg $L$-function twisted by finite order characters. A certain non-vanishing assumption about an associated archimedean Rankin-Selberg pairing on the cohomology is established for $n=3$.
