Gross–Prasad conjecture for orthogonal groups

Let Vm+1V_{m+1} be an orthogonal space of dimension m+1m+1, and let VmV_m be a non-degenerate codimension-one subspace. Assume that O(Vm)×O(Vm+1)\operatorname{O}(V_m)\times\operatorname{O}(V_{m+1}) is quasi-split. Put c=disc(Vodd)/disc(Veven)F×/F×2c=-\operatorname{disc}(V_{\rm odd})/\operatorname{disc}(V_{\rm even})\in F^\times/F^{\times2}, so that VevenV_{\rm even} is associated to (disc(Veven),c)(\operatorname{disc}(V_{\rm even}),c). Let ϕΦtemp(O(Veven))\phi\in\Phi_{\rm temp}(\operatorname{O}(V_{\rm even})) and (ϕ,b)Φtemp(O(Vodd))(\phi',b)\in\Phi_{\rm temp}(\operatorname{O}(V_{\rm odd})). Gross–Prasad conjecture. There exists a unique pair (σ,τ)Πϕ×Πϕ,b(\sigma,\tau)\in\Pi_\phi\times\Pi_{\phi',b} such that στ\sigma\boxtimes\tau is a representation of O(Veven)×O(Vodd)\operatorname{O}(V_{\rm even}^\bullet)\times\operatorname{O}(V_{\rm odd}^\bullet) for a relevant pair of companion spaces and

HomΔO(Vm)(στ,C)0.\operatorname{Hom}_{\Delta\operatorname{O}(V_m^\bullet)}(\sigma\boxtimes\tau,\mathbb C)\ne0.

Moreover,

ιc(σ)×ι(τ)=(χϕdϕ,b)×χϕ.\iota_c(\sigma)\times\iota(\tau)=(\chi_{\phi'}\cdot d_{\phi,b})\times\chi_\phi.

This refines the multiplicity-one result for the orthogonal Gross–Prasad period by determining when the multiplicity is nonzero and identifying the corresponding component-group characters. The analogous special-orthogonal statement is stated as a theorem in the source, but this orthogonal-group formulation remains presented as a conjecture.
