Spherical Pairs Over Close Local Fields

Original · EN

Extending results of Kazhdan to the relative case, we relate harmonic analysis over some spherical spaces G(F)/H(F), where F is a field of positive characteristic, to harmonic analysis over the spherical spaces G(E)/H(E), where E is a suitably chosen field of characteristic 0. One of the Ingredients of the proof is a condition for finite generation of some modules over the Hecke algebra. We apply our results to show that the pair (GLₙ₊₁,GLₙ) is a strong Gelfand pair for all local fields, and that the pair (GLₙ₊ₖ,GLₙ x GLₖ) is a Gelfand pair for all local fields of odd characteristic.
