These families are given in terms of their distribution kernels which can be viewed as distributions on $\\mathbb{E}$ depending holomorphically on the principal series parameters. For all such parameters we determine the support of these distributions, and we study their mapping properties. This leads to a classification of all intertwining operators between principal series representations, not necessarily irreducible. As an application, we show that every Steinberg representation of $\\operatorname{PGL}(2,\\mathbb{E})$ contains a Steinberg representation of $\\operatorname{PGL}(2,\\mathbb{F})$ as a direct summand of Hilbert spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-26T11:39:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E35", "22E50" ], "keywords": [ "non-archimedean local fields", "symmetry breaking", "principal series representations", "construct explicit holomorphic families", "steinberg representation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
