In [Stephen Rallis, David Soudry, Stability of the local gamma factor arising from the doubling method, Math. Ann. 333 (2) (2005) 291–313, MR2195117 (2006m:22026)], Rallis and Soudry prove the stability under twists by highly ramified characters of the local gamma factor arising from the doubling method, in the case of a symplectic group or orthogonal group G over a local non-archimedean field F of characteristic zero, and a representation π of G, which is not necessarily generic. This paper extends their arguments to show the stability in the case when G is a unitary group over a quadratic extension E of F, thereby completing the proof of the stability for classical groups. This stability property is important in Cogdell, Kim, Piatetski-Shapiro, and Shahidi's use of the converse theorem to prove the existence of a weak lift from automorphic, cuspidal, generic representations of G(A) to automorphic representations of GLn(A) for appropriate n, to which references are given in [Stephen Rallis, David Soudry, Stability of the local gamma factor arising from the doubling method, Math. Ann. 333 (2) (2005) 291–313, MR2195117 (2006m:22026)].
