# Non-vanishing criterion of the Hom space of induced representation of p-adic groups?

$$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}\DeclareMathOperator\Sp{Sp}\DeclareMathOperator\GL{GL}$$Let $$F$$ be local field of characteristic zero and $$(W,\langle,\rangle)$$ be a $$2n$$-dimensional symplectic space over $$F$$.

Let $$B$$ be a Borel subgroup of $$\Sp(W)$$ and $$\{\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_n\}$$, $$\{\chi_1',\ldots,\chi_n'\}$$ be two set of characters of $$F^{\times}$$.

Then I am wondering that $$\operatorname{Hom}_{\Sp(W)}(\operatorname{Ind}_{B}^{\Sp(W)} (\chi_1\otimes\cdots \otimes \chi_n),\operatorname{Ind}_{B}^{\Sp(W)} (\chi_1'\otimes\cdots \otimes \chi_n')) \ne 0$$ is equivalent to $$\{\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_n,\chi_1^{-1},\ldots,\chi_n^{-1}\}=\{\chi_1',\ldots,\chi_n',\chi_1'^{-1},\ldots,\chi_n'^{-1}\}$$ as a set?

Any comments are welcome!

• What are the irreducibility criteria for these induced reps? Nov 9, 2021 at 1:14
• @Kimball, You can assume that two representations are irreducible. But is that important? Nov 9, 2021 at 4:18
• Yes, because then you are just asking an isomorphism question. Nov 9, 2021 at 12:33
• @Kimball, Right! But I guess my reasoning would be true for reducible cases also! Nov 10, 2021 at 7:04

The main theorem of section 2.9 of Bernstein, Zelevinsky "Induced representations of reductive $$p$$-adic groups - I" gives a criterion for the existence of a non-zero intertwining operator between two parabolically induced representations. In your case the characters of the maximal split torus have to be conjugate under an elementof the corresponding Weyl group.
You do not need to assume that $$F$$ has characteristic $$0$$.
