Multiplicity one theorems over positive characteristic

Abstract

In [AGRS] a multiplicity one theorem is proven for general linear groups, orthogonal groups and unitary groups (GL,O,GL, O, and UU) over pp-adic local fields. That is to say that when we have a pair of such groups GnGn+1G_n\subseteq G_{n+1}, any restriction of an irreducible smooth representation of Gn+1G_{n+1} to GnG_n is multiplicity free. This property is already known for GLGL over a local field of positive characteristic, and in this paper we also give a proof for O,UO,U, and SOSO over local fields of positive odd characteristic. These theorems are shown in [GGP] to imply the uniqueness of Bessel models, and in [CS] to imply the uniqueness of Rankin-Selberg models. We also prove simultaniously the uniqeuness of Fourier-Jacobi models, following the outlines of the proof in [Sun]. By the Gelfand-Kazhdan criterion, the multiplicity one property for a pair HGH\leq G follows from the statement that any distribution on GG invariant to conjugations by HH is also invariant to some anti-involution of GG preserving HH.
