%0 Journal Article %T On an analogue of the Ichino--Ikeda conjecture for Whittaker coefficients on the metaplectic group %A Erez Lapid %A Zhengyu Mao %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X In previous papers we formulated an analogue of the Ichino--Ikeda conjectures for Whittaker--Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on classical group and the metaplectic group. In the latter case we reduced the conjecture to a local identity. In this paper we will prove the local identity in the $p$-adic case, and hence the global conjecture under simplifying conditions at the archimedean places. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.2905v2
