Let k be a field, let G/k be a reductive group, let ZA denote the center of GA, let ρ denote a one-dimensional unitary representation of Z_A which is trivial on Z_A ∩ G_k. Consider the Hilbert space Cρ of cusp forms on GA associated with the character ρ; the group GA acts on that space on the right by unitary transformations. This representation decomposes into a direct sum of irreducible representations each having finite multiplicity.

Multiplicity-one theorem

Each irreducible unitary representation of GA occurs with multiplicity at most 1 in Cρ.
