Abstract

We consider branching laws for the restriction of some irreducible unitary representations \(\varPi \) of \(G=O(p,q)\) to its subgroup \(H=O(p-1,q)\). In Kobayashi (arXiv:1907.07994, [14]), the irreducible subrepresentations of \(O(p-1,q)\) in the restriction of the unitary \(\varPi |_{O(p-1,q) }\) are determined. By considering the restriction of packets of irreducible representations we obtain another very simple branching law, which was conjectured in Ørsted–Speh (arXiv:1907.07544, [17]).
