Branching laws for the Steinberg representation: the rank 1 case

Abstract: Let

G / H

be a reductive symmetric space over a

p

-adic field

F

, the algebraic groups

G

and

H

being assumed semisimple of relative rank

1

. One of the branching problems for the Steinberg representation

S t_{G}

of

G

is the determination of the dimension of the intertwining space

{m H o m}_{H} (S t_{G}, p i)

, for any irreducible representation

p i

of

H

. In this work we do not compute this dimension, but show how it is related to the dimensions of some other intertwining spaces

{m H o m}_{K_{i}} (i l d e p i, 1)

, for a certain finite family

K_{i}

,

i = 1, ..., r

, of anisotropic subgroups of

H

(here

i l d e p i

denote the contragredient representation, and

1

the trivial character). In other words we show that there is a sort of `reciprocity law' relating two different branching problems.
