Abstract: The restriction of an irreducible unitary representation $pi$ of a real reductive group $G$ to a reductive subgroup $H$ decomposes into a direct integral of irreducible unitary representations $au$ of $H$ with multiplicities $m(pi,au)inmathbbNcupinfty$. We show that on the smooth vectors of $pi$, the direct integral is pointwise defined. This implies that $m(pi,au)$ is bounded above by the dimension of the space $operatorname{Hom}_H(p{i}^{i}nfty{|}_H,a{u}^{i}nfty)$ of intertwining operators between the smooth vectors, also called symmetry breaking operators, and provides a precise relation between these two concepts of multiplicity.
