Speh representations are relatively discrete

Abstract

Let FF be a pp-adic field of characteristic zero and odd residual characteristic. Let Sp2n(F)\mathbf{Sp}_{2n}(F) denote the symplectic group defined over FF, where n2n\geq 2. We prove that the Speh representations U(δ,2)\mathcal{U}(\delta,2), where δ\delta is a discrete series representation of GLn(F)\mathbf{GL}_n(F), lie in the discrete spectrum of the pp-adic symmetric space Sp2n(F)\GL2n(F)\mathbf{Sp}_{2n}(F) \backslash \mathbf{GL}_{2n}(F).
