Multiplicity one Theorems

Abstract

In the local, characteristic 0, non archimedean case, we consider distributions on GL(n+1) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n). We prove that such distributions are invariant by transposition. This implies that an admissible irreducible representation of GL(n+1), when restricted to GL(n) decomposes with multiplicity one. Similar Theorems are obtained for orthogonal or unitary groups.
