An upper bound on conductors for pairs (Q1363092)

Let \(a\), \(b\), \(c\) be the exponents (defined by means of the \(\varepsilon\) factors) of the irreducible admissible representations \(\pi\), \(\rho\), \(\pi\times\rho\) of \(GL(m,F)\), \(GL(n,F)\), \(GL(m,F)\times GL(n,F)\). Here \(F\) is a \(p\)-adic field. It is shown that \(c\leq na+mb-\min(a,b)\) using the essential vector in the Whittaker model in the generic case.
