Abstract

Consider an irreducible, admissible representation π\pi of GL(2,FF) whose restriction to GL(2,F)+F)^+ breaks up as a sum of two irreducible representations π++π\pi_+ + \pi_-. If π=rθ\pi=r_{\theta}, the Weil representation of GL(2,FF) attached to a character θ\theta of KK^* which does not factor through the norm map from KK to FF, then χK^\chi\in \hat{K^*} with (χ>.θ1)F=ωK/F(\chi >. \theta ^{-1})|_{F^{*}}=\omega_{{K/F}} occurs in rθ+{r_{\theta}}_+ if and only if ϵ(θχ1,ψ0)=ϵ(θˉχ1,ψ0)=1\epsilon(\theta\chi^{-1},\psi_0)=\epsilon(\bar \theta\chi^{-1},\psi_0)=1 and in rθ{r_{\theta}}_- if and only if both the epsilon factors are -1. But given a conductor nn, can we say precisely how many such χ\chi will appear in π\pi? We calculate the number of such characters at each given conductor nn in this work.
