We realize Whittaker functionals as equivariant distributions on $\\text{GL}(n,\\mathbb{R})$, whose restriction to the open Schubert cell is unique up to a constant. Using a birational map on the Schubert cells, we show that the unique distribution on the open Schubert cell extends to a distribution on the entire space $\\text{GL}(n,\\mathbb{R})$. This technique gives a proof of the analytic continuation of Jacquet integrals via integration by parts.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-15T00:48:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F70", "46F10" ], "keywords": [ "whittaker functionals", "integration", "open schubert cell extends", "principal series representation", "equivariant distributions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 35, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
