Temperedness criterion of the tensor product of parabolic induction for \(\mathrm{GL}_n \) (Q2109044)

Let \(P\) be a parabolic subgroup of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})\) with Levi factor \(\mathrm{GL}_{n_1}(\mathbb{R})\times \cdots \times \mathrm{GL}_{n_r}(\mathbb{R})\), where \(n_1+\dots+n_r=n\). Set \(d(P)=\max_{i=1}^{r} n_i\). Let \(Q\) be another parabolic subgroup of \(G:=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})\). The paper studies when the tensor product representation \(\mathrm{Ind}_P^G(\sigma)\otimes\mathrm{Ind}_Q^G(\tau)\) of \(G\) is tempered, where \(\sigma\) and \(\tau\) are unitary representations of \(P\) and \(Q\), respectively. Indeed, the main result Theorem 1.2 says that it is equivalent to that \(\mathrm{Ind}_P^G(\textbf{1})\otimes\mathrm{Ind}_Q^G(\textbf{1})\) being tempered, which is further equivalent to the condition that \(d(P)+d(Q)\leq n+1\). Here \textbf{1} stands for the trivial representation. The main result is built upon another result, namely Theorem 1.2, which studies the temperedness of the regular representation \(L^2(G/H)\) with \(H\) being a closed subgroup of \(G\) which may not be reductive.
