Uniform pointwise bounds for Matrix coefficients of unitary representations on semidirect products

Abstract

Let kk be a local field of characteristic 0, and let GG be a connected semisimple almost kk-algebraic group. Suppose rankkG1_kG\geq 1 and ρ\rho is an excellent representation of GG on a finite dimensional kk-vector space VV. We construct uniform pointwise bounds for the KK-finite matrix coefficients restricted on GG of all unitary representations of the semi-direct product GρVG\ltimes_\rho V without non-trivial VV-fixed vectors. These bounds turn out to be sharper than the bounds obtained from GG itself for some cases. As an application, we discuss a simple method of calculating Kazhdan constants for various compact subsets of the pair (GρV,V)(G\ltimes_\rho V,V).
