\((\text O(V\oplus F),\text O(V))\) is a Gelfand pair for any quadratic space \(V\) over a local field \(F\)




Abstract: Let V be a quadratic space with a form q over an arbitrary local field F of characteristic different from 2. Let W=VoplusFe with the form Q extending q with Q(e)=1. Consider the standard embedding of O(V) into O(W) and the two-sided action of O(V)imesO(V) on O(W). In this note we show that any O(V)imesO(V)-invariant distribution on O(W) is invariant with respect to transposition. This result was earlier proven in a bit different form in [vD] for F=R, in [AvD] for F=C and in [BvD] for p-adic fields. Here we give a different proof. Using results from [AGS], we show that this result on invariant distributions implies that the pair (O(V),O(W)) is a Gelfand pair. In the archimedean setting this means that for any irreducible admissible smooth Frechet representation E of O(W) we have dimHomO(V)(E,C)leq1. A stronger result for p-adic fields is obtained in [AGRS].
