Abstract

Let F be either R or C. Let (π,V)(\pi,V) be an irreducible admissible smooth \Fre representation of GL(2n,F). A Shalika functional ϕ:V\C\phi:V \to \C is a continuous linear functional such that for any gGLn(F),A\Matn×n(F)g\in GL_n(F), A \in \Mat_{n \times n}(F) and vVv\in V we have \phi[\pi g & A 0 & g)v] = \exp(2\pi i \re(\tr (g^{-1}A))) \phi(v). In this paper we prove that the space of Shalika functionals on V is at most one dimensional. For non-Archimedean F (of characteristic zero) this theorem was proven in [JR].
