On the tensor product of theta representations of \(GL_ 3\) (Q2644784)

Let V be the theta representation of \(GL_ 3^{\sim}\)- the two fold central extension of \(GL_ 3\). Let W be a spherical representation of \(GL_ 3\). We show that there is a nonzero \(GL_ 3\) invariant trilinear form on \(V\otimes V^*\otimes W\) if and only if W is a lift from \(SL_ 2\). In this case the form is unique up to a scalar.
