On reducibility of parabolic induction (Q1275683)

The subject of the paper is the investigation of reducibility of parabolically induced representations of \(\text{Sp}(2n,F)\) and \(\text{SO}(2n+1,F)\), where \(F\) is a non-archimedean local field, by applying parabolic restriction to these representations. There is a variety of general results in which reducibility of induced representations is related to reducibility of representations induced from cuspidal representations. From given concrete applications I mention the determination of the composition series for representations induced from a one-dimensional representation of certain maximal parabolic subgroups. The method of this paper was used later by C. Jantzen to complete the determination of the composition series of representations induced from a one-dimensional representation of an arbitrary parabolic subgroup.
