Abstract

Let G denote the unramified quasi-split unitary group \mathbbU(1,1)(F) over a p-adic field F with residual characteristic p ≠ 2. In this paper, we first construct a large family of irreducible representations of the maximal compact subgroup K = \mathbbU(1,1)(OF) of G. We then describe the branching rules for all principal series representations of G upon restriction to K in terms of these representations. The resulting decomposition is multiplicity-free and is characterized by distinct degrees. Finally, we present two important applications of this decomposition that address certain recent open conjectures in the literature. This is the first in a series of two articles in which we provide branching rules for all irreducible smooth representations of the G upon restriction to K.
