Parabolic restriction of tempered representations

Abstract

Parabolic induction, or the formation of princpal series, is one of the main sources of representations of reductive groups. For smooth representations of p-adic reductive groups, the functor of parabolic induction admits an obvious left adjoint which, by a remarkable theorem of Bernstein, is also a right adjoint. I will present a conjectural analogue of this "second adjoint theorem" for tempered representations of real reductive groups, and outline a proof for the group SL(2,R).

This is based on joint work with Pierre Clare, Nigel Higson and Robert Yuncken.
