Multiplicity one theorems: the Archimedean case

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let G be one of the classical Lie groups GLn+1(R), GLn+1(C), oU(p,q+1), oO(p,q+1), oOn+1(C), SO(p,q+1), SOn+1(C), and let G′ be respectively the subgroup GLn(R), GLn(C), oU(p,q), oO(p,q), oOn(C), SO(p,q), SOn(C), embedded in G in the standard way. We show that every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of G′ occurs with multiplicity at most one in every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of G. Similar results are proved for the Jacobi groups GLn(R)ltimesoH2n+1(R), GLn(C)ltimesoH2n+1(C), oU(p,q)ltimesoH2p+2q+1(R), Sp2n(R)ltimesoH2n+1(R), Sp2n(C)ltimesoH2n+1(C), with their respective subgroups GLn(R), GLn(C), oU(p,q), Sp2n(R), Sp2n(C).


Multiplicity theorems on the irreducible representations of classical Lie groups and their subgroups are presented. One denotes by \(G\) the classical Lie groups \[ \mathrm {GL}_{n+1}(\mathbb R), \mathrm {GL}_{n+1}(\mathbb C), \mathrm {U}(p,q+1), \mathrm {O}(p,q+1), \mathrm {O}_{n+1}(\mathbb C), \mathrm {SO}(p,q+1), \mathrm {SO}_{n+1}(\mathbb C), \] and by \(G'\) respectively their subgroups \[ \mathrm {GL}_n(\mathbb R), \mathrm {GL}_n(\mathbb C), \mathrm {U}(p,q), \mathrm {O}(p,q), \mathrm {O}_n(\mathbb C), \mathrm {SO}(p,q), \mathrm {SO}_n(\mathbb C) \] embedded in \(G\) in the standard way. Then, it is proven that every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of \(G'\) occurs with multiplicity at most one in every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of \(G\). The main technical result of this paper is: There exists a real algebraic anti-automorphism \(\sigma\) on \(G\) preserving \(G'\) with the following property: every generalized function on \(G\) which is invariant under the adjoint action of \(G'\) is automatically \(\sigma\)-invariant. Combined with a version of the Gelfand-Kazhdan criterion, this result implies the above property on the multiplicity of the irreducible Casselman-Wallach representations of the respective classical groups. Similar results are proved for Jacobi groups with their respective subgroups.
