Abstract: Let

G

be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let

G_{m a t h b b R}

be a real form of

G

. We construct a sequence of functors

L_{i} m a t h c a l R

from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of

G

to admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of

G_{m a t h b b R}

. We establish many basic properties of these functors, including their behavior with respect to infinitesimal character, associated variety, and restriction to a maximal compact subgroup. We deduce that each

L_{i} m a t h c a l R

takes unipotent representations of

G

to unipotent representations of

G_{m a t h b b R}

. Taking the alternating sum of

L_{i} m a t h c a l R

, we get a well-defined homomorphism on the level of characters. We compute this homomorphism in the case when

G_{m a t h b b R}

is split.
