   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract">We first prove a smooth transfer statement analogous to Jacquet–Rallis’s fundamental lemma and use it to compute the special value of a local spherical character that appears in the Ichino–Ikeda conjecture at a test vector. Then we provide a uniform definition of newforms for representations of both even and odd dimensional unitary groups over p-adic fields. This definition is compatible with the one given by Atobe, Oi, and Yasuda in the odd dimensional case. Using the nonvanishing of the local spherical character at the test vector, we prove the existence of the representation containing newforms in every tempered Vogan L-packet. We also show the uniqueness of such representations in Vogan L-packets and give an explicit description of them using local Langlands correspondence.</dim:field>
