Uniqueness of Rankin-Selberg periods


Abstract in English

Let $k$ be a local field of characteristic zero. Rankin-Selbergs local zeta integrals produce linear functionals on generic irreducible admissible smooth representations of $GL_n(k)times GL_r(k)$, with certain invariance properties. We show that up to scalar multiplication, these linear functionals are determined by the invariance properties.
