We construct analogues of Rankin–Selberg integrals for Speh representations of the general linear group over a $p$-adic field. The integrals are in terms of the (extended) Shalika model and are expected to be the local counterparts of (suitably regularized) global integrals involving square-integrable automorphic forms and Eisenstein series on the general linear group over a global field. We relate the local integrals to the classical ones studied by Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro and Shalika. We also introduce a unitary structure for Speh representation on the Shalika model, as well as various other models including Zelevinsky’s degenerate Whittaker model.
