‎In this paper‎, ‎we find a relation between the proportionality factors which arise from the functional equations of two families of local Rankin-Selberg convolutions for‎ ‎irreducible admissible representations of orthogonal groups‎, ‎or unitary groups‎. ‎One family is that of local integrals of the doubling method‎, ‎and the other family is‎ ‎that of local integrals expressed in terms of sph...

Founding harmonic analysis on classical simple complex groups, I.M. Gelfand and M.A. Naimark in their classical book [GN] posed three basic questions: unitary duals, characters of irreducible unitary representations and Plancherel measures. In the case of reductive p-adic groups, the only series of reductive groups where unitary duals are known are general linear groups. In this paper we reduce...

We prove that irreducible unitary representations of nilpotent super Lie groups can be obtained by induction from a distinguished class of sub super Lie groups which are natural generalizations of polarizing subgroups that appear in classical Kirillov theory. We prove that this kind of induction always yields irreducible unitary representations. We also prove a uniqueness result for the inducin...

We study irreducible unitary representations of the three rst jet (or Leibniz) extensions G k m of a compact group G, focusing on the neighborhood of the trivial representation. We also describe some associated irreducible unitary (continuous tensor product) representations of the gauge (or current) groups of mappings from a Riemannian manifold into G k m .
