Arthur Parameters and Fourier coefficients for Automorphic Forms on Symplectic Groups

We study the structures of Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms on symplectic groups based on their local and global structures related to Arthur parameters. This is a first step towards the general conjecture on the relation between the structure of Fourier coefficients and Arthur parameters given by the first named author in [J14].Comment: Final version. 44 pages.
