Archimedean period relations for Rankin-Selberg convolutions

We formulate and prove the archimedean period relations for Rankin-Selberg convolutions of $\text{GL}(n)\times \text{GL}(n)$ and $\text{GL}(n)\times \text{GL}(n-1)$, for all generic cohomological representations. As a consequence, we prove the non-vanishing of the archimedean modular symbols. This extends the earlier results in [LLS24] for essentially tempered representations of $\text{GL}(n)\times \text{GL}(n-1)$.
