Abstract

We show that, under certain assumptions, a parabolic induction IndGB λ from the Borel subgroup B of a (real or p-adic) reductive group G decomposes into a direct sum of the form: IndGB λ = ( IndGP StM ⊗χ0 ) ⊕ ( IndGP 1M ⊗χ0 ), where P is a parabolic subgroup of G with Levi subgroup M of semi-simple rank 1, 1M is the trivial representation of M, StM is the Steinberg representation of M and χ0 is a certain character of M. We construct examples of this phenomenon for all simply-connected simple groups of rank at least 2.
