Abstract

Let G=GLn(C)G=GL_{n}(\mathbb{C}) and 1ψ:CC×1\ne\psi:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^{\times} be an additive character. Let UU be the subgroup of upper triangular unipotent matrices in GG. Denote by θ\theta the character θ:UC\theta:U\to\mathbb{C} given by θ(u):=ψ(u1,2+u2,3+...+un1,n). \theta(u):=\psi(u_{1,2}+u_{2,3}+...+u_{n-1,n}). Let PP be the mirabolic subgroup of GG consisting of all matrices in GG with the last row equal to (0,0,...,0,1)(0,0,...,0,1). We prove that if π\pi is an irreducible generic representation of GLn(C)GL_{n}(\mathbb{C}) and W(π,ψ)\mathcal{W}(\pi,\psi) is its Whittaker model, then the space {fP:PC:fW(π,ψ)}\{f|_{P}:P\to \mathbb{C}:\, f\in \mathcal{W}(\pi,\psi)\} contains the space of infinitely differentiable functions f:PCf:P\to \mathbb{C} which satisfy f(up)=ψ(u)f(p)f(up)=\psi(u)f(p) for all uUu\in U and pPp\in P and which have a compact support modulo UU. A similar result was proven for GLn(F)GL_{n}(F), where FF is a pp-adic field by Gelfand and Kazhdan in "Representations of the group GL(n,K)GL(n,K) where K is a local field", Lie groups and their representations, Proc. Summer School, Bolyai J\'anos Math. Soc., Budapest:95-118, 1975, and for GLn(R)GL_{n}(\mathbb{R}) by Jacquet in "Distinction by the quasi-split unitary group", Israel Journal of Mathematics, 178(1):269-324, 2010.
