Abstract

Let DD be a quaternion division algebra over a non-archimedean local field FF of characteristic zero. Let E/FE/F be a quadratic extension and SLn(E)=GLn(E)SLn(D)\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E) = {\rm{GL}}_{n}(E) \cap \rm{SL}_{n}(D). We study distinguished representations of SLn(D)\rm{SL}_{n}(D) by the subgroup SLn(E)\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E). Let π\pi be an irreducible admissible representation of SLn(D)\rm{SL}_{n}(D) which is distinguished by SLn(E)\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E). We give a multiplicity formula, i.e. a formula for the dimension of the C\mathbb{C}-vector space HomSLn(E)(π,\mathbbm1){\rm{Hom}}_{\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E)} (\pi, \mathbbm{1}), where \mathbbm1\mathbbm{1} denotes the trivial representation of SLn(E)\rm{SL}_{n}^{*}(E). This work is a non-split inner form analog of a work by Anandavardhanan-Prasad which gives a multiplicity formula for SLn(F)\rm{SL}_{n}(F)-distinguished irreducible admissible representation of SLn(E)\rm{SL}_{n}(E).
