Rankin-Selberg convolutions for $mathrm{GL}(n)times mathrm{GL}(n)$ and $mathrm{GL}(n)times mathrm{GL}(n-1)$ for principal series representations

Let $mathsf k$ be a local field. Let $I_ u$ and $I_{ u}$ be smooth principal series representations of $mathrm{GL}_n(mathsf k)$ and $mathrm{GL}_{n-1}(mathsf k)$ respectively. The Rankin-Selberg integrals yield a continuous bilinear map $I_ utimes I_{ u}rightarrow mathbb C$ with a certain invariance property. We study integrals over a certain open orbit that also yield a continuous bilinear map $I_ utimes I_{ u}rightarrow mathbb C$ with the same invariance property, and show that these integrals equal the Rankin-Selberg integrals up to an explicit constant. Similar results are also obtained for Rankin-Selberg integrals for $mathrm{GL}_n(mathsf k)times mathrm{GL}_n(mathsf k)$.
