INVARIANT FUNCTIONALS ON SPEH REPRESENTATIONS

We study Sp_2n(ℝ)-invariant functionals on the spaces of smooth vectors in Speh representations of GL_2n(ℝ) For even n we give expressions for such invariant functionals using an explicit realization of the space of smooth vectors in the Speh representations. Furthermore, we show that the functional we construct is, up to a constant, the unique functional on the Speh representation which is invariant under the Siegel parabolic subgroup of Sp_2n(ℝ). For odd n we show that the Speh representations do not admit an invariant functional with respect to the subgroup Un of Sp_2n(ℝ) consisting of unitary matrices. Our construction, combined with the argument in [GOSS12], gives a purely local and explicit construction of Klyachko models for all unitary representations of GL_n(ℝ).
