Results on a Strong Multiplicity One Theorem

Abstract

We prove an analogue of the strong multiplicity one theorem in the context of $\tau_n$-spherical representations of the group $G = SO(2,1)^\circ$ appearing in $L^2(\Gamma_i \backslash G)$ for uniform torsion-free lattices $\Gamma_i, i = 1, 2$ in $G$. This is a generalisation of a previous result by the first author and C. S. Rajan in \cite{B-R-2011} for the case of $G = SO(2,1)^\circ$.
