Abstract

Let GG be one of the classical Lie groups \GLn+1(R)\GL_{n+1}(\R), \GLn+1(\C)\GL_{n+1}(\C), \oU(p,q+1)\oU(p,q+1), \oO(p,q+1)\oO(p,q+1), \oOn+1(\C)\oO_{n+1}(\C), \SO(p,q+1)\SO(p,q+1), \SOn+1(\C)\SO_{n+1}(\C), and let GG' be respectively the subgroup \GLn(R)\GL_{n}(\R), \GLn(\C)\GL_{n}(\C), \oU(p,q)\oU(p,q), \oO(p,q)\oO(p,q), \oOn(\C)\oO_n(\C), \SO(p,q)\SO(p,q), \SOn(\C)\SO_n(\C), embedded in GG in the standard way. We show that every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of GG' occurs with multiplicity at most one in every irreducible Casselman-Wallach representation of GG. Similar results are proved for the Jacobi groups \GLn(R)\oH2n+1(R)\GL_{n}(\R)\ltimes \oH_{2n+1}(\R), \GLn(\C)\oH2n+1(\C)\GL_{n}(\C)\ltimes \oH_{2n+1}(\C), \oU(p,q)\oH2p+2q+1(R)\oU(p,q)\ltimes \oH_{2p+2q+1}(\R), \Sp2n(R)\oH2n+1(R)\Sp_{2n}(\R)\ltimes \oH_{2n+1}(\R), \Sp2n(\C)\oH2n+1(\C)\Sp_{2n}(\C)\ltimes \oH_{2n+1}(\C), with their respective subgroups \GLn(R)\GL_{n}(\R), \GLn(\C)\GL_{n}(\C), \oU(p,q)\oU(p,q), \Sp2n(R)\Sp_{2n}(\R), \Sp2n(\C)\Sp_{2n}(\C).
