review text: The author mainly demonstrated the following equality in this well-written short paper: \[\widetilde{\gamma}(1-s,\chi^{-1}, \psi)=\gamma(\psi) \chi(-1) \frac{\gamma(s+1/2, \chi, \psi)}{\gamma(2s,\chi^2,\psi_2)}.\] In this equality, \(\gamma(\psi)\) is the Weil index, which appears in the study of Weil representations of the metaplectic group \(\widetilde{Sp_{2n}}(F)\). [\textit{A. Weil}, Acta Math. 111, 143--211 (1964; Zbl 0203.03305); \textit{R. Ranga Rao}, Pac. J. Math. 157, No. 2, 335--371 (1993; Zbl 0794.58017); \textit{P. Perrin}, Lect. Notes Math. 880, 370--407 (1981; Zbl 0462.22008)]. \(\gamma(s,\gamma, \psi)\) is the usual Tate \(\gamma\)-factor, which appears in the study of a functional equation in the Langlands program [\textit{J. W. S. Cassels} (ed.) and \textit{A. Fröhlich} (ed.), Algebraic number theory. with the support of the International Mathematical Union.

Cogdell} et al., Lectures on automorphic \(L\)-functions. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2004; Zbl 1066.11021)]. \(\widetilde{\gamma}(s,\chi, \psi)\) is called the metaplectic \(\widetilde{\gamma}\)-factor. The exact definition is given in a separate paper by the author [Ramanujan J. 26, No. 1, 45--53 (2011; Zbl 1245.11066)]. For more information on the history of this factor, one can see the introduction. As mentioned in the introduction, the computation of an integral is required to prove the identity. The integral comes from an unpublished note written …
