Derivative of the Analytic Kernel
This chapter computes the derivative of the analytic kernel. It first decomposes the kernel function into a sum of infinitely many local terms indexed by places v of Fnonsplit in E. Each local term is a period integral of some kernel function. The chapter then considers the v-part for non-archimedean v. An explicit formula is given in the unramified case, and an approximation is presented in the ramified case assuming the Schwartz function is degenerate. An explicit result of the v-part for archimedean v is also introduced. The chapter proceeds by reviewing a general formula of holomorphic projection, and estimates the growth of the kernel function in order to apply the formula. It also computes the holomorphic projection of the analytic kernel function and concludes with a discussion of the holomorphic kernel function.
