Abstract

In the case of F-isotropic groups for a global field F, Moore [Mo] computed the metaplectic kernel using crucially his theorem of uniqueness of reciprocity laws. For F-anisotropic G, a variant of Moore's theorem is, therefore, needed to compute the metaplectic kernel. Such a variant was announced by G. Prasad [GP1] (in 1986) and here we give the details.
