Abstract: Consider an irreducible, admissible representation $pi$ of GL(2,$F$) whose restriction to GL(2,$F{)}^{+}$ breaks up as a sum of two irreducible representations $p{i}_{+}+p{i}_{-}$. If $pi=r_{heta}$, the Weil representation of GL(2,$F$) attached to a character $heta$ of $K^{\ast }$ which does not factor through the norm map from $K$ to $F$, then $chiinhat{K}^{\ast }$ with $(chi>.het{a}^{-1}){|}_{F^{\ast }}=omeg{a}_{K/F}$ occurs in ${r_{heta}}_{+}$ if and only if $$ and in ${r_{heta}}_{-}$ if and only if both the epsilon factors are -1. But given a conductor $n$, can we say precisely how many such $chi$ will appear in $pi$? We calculate the number of such characters at each given conductor $n$ in this work.

Review text

Let \(F\) be a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic different from two and \(K\) a separable quadratic extension. Denote by \(\text{GL}(2,F)^+\) the subgroup of \(\text{GL}(2,F)\) of index two consisting of matrices whose determinant is in \(N_{K/F}(K^\times)\). Then \(K^\times\) embeds in \(\text{GL}(2,F)^+\). Let \(\theta\) be a character of \(K^\times\) that does not factor through \(N_{K/F}\) and let \(r_\theta\) be the Weil representation of \(\text{GL}(2,F)\) attached to \(\theta\). \textit{D. Prasad} proved in [Compos. Math. 94, No. 1, 19--28 (1994; Zbl 0824.11035)] that the restriction of \(r_\theta\) to \(\text{GL}(2,F)^+\) breaks up as a sum of two irreducible representations \(r_{\theta_+}\) and \(r_{\theta_-}\). Moreover, a character \(\chi\) of \(K^\times\) with \((\chi\cdot\theta^{-1})| _{F^\times}=\omega_{K/F}\) occurs in \(r_{\theta_+}\) if and only if \(\varepsilon(\theta\chi^{-1},\psi_0)=\varepsilon(\overline\theta\chi^{-1},\psi_0)=1\) and in \(r_{\theta_-}\) if and only if both of the epsilon factors are \(-1\). This paper is devoted to counting at each conductor level the number of characters \(\chi\) that appear in \(r_{\theta_+}\) or \(r_{\theta_-}\). The proof is based on computations of the \(\varepsilon\)-factors of characters.
