Abstract

Let F be either R or C. Consider the standard embedding GL(n,F)<GL(n+1,F) and the action of GL(n,F) on GL(n+1,F) by conjugation. In this paper we show that any GL(n,F)-invariant distribution on GL(n+1,F) is invariant with respect to transposition. We show that this implies that for any irreducible admissible smooth Frechet representations π\pi of GL(n+1,F) and τ\tau of GL(n,F), dimHomGL(n,F)(π,τ)1.dim Hom_{GL(n,F)}(\pi,\tau) \leq 1. For p-adic fields those results were proven in [AGRS].
