Abstract

Let G be a locally compact totally disconnected topological group. Under a necessary mild assumption, we show that the irreducible unitary representations of G are uniformly admissible if and only if the irreducible smooth representations of G are uniformly admissible. An analogous result for *-algebras is also established. We further show that the property of having uniformly admissible irreducible smooth representations is inherited by finite-index subgroups and overgroups of G.
