Central Values of Degree Six L-functions: The Case of Hilbert Modular Forms

In this paper we give a formula for the central value of the completed $L$-function $L(s,Sym^{2} g\times f)$, where $f$ and $g$ are Hilbert newforms, by explicitly computing the local integrals appearing in the refined Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture for $SL_{2}\times\tilde{SL_{2}}$. We also prove the rationality of this value in some special cases and give a conjecture for the general case.
