Abstract

The Rankin–Selberg integral of Kohnen and Skoruppa produces the $\mathrm{Spin} \: L$-function for holomorphic Siegel modular forms of genus two. In this paper, we reinterpret and extend their integral to apply to arbitrary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{PGSp}_4$. We show that the integral is related to a non-unique model and analyze it using the approach of Piatetski–Shapiro and Rallis.
