Abstract

We show that complementary series representations of SO(n, 1), which are sufficiently close to a cohomological representation contain discretely, complementary series of SO(m, 1) also sufficiently close to cohomological representations, provided that the degree of the cohomological representation does not exceed m/2.

We prove, as a consequence, that the cohomological representation of degree i of the group SO(n, 1) contains discretely, the cohomological representation of degree i of the subgroup SO(m, 1) if im/2.

As a global application, we show that if G/ℚ is a semisimple algebraic group such that G(ℝ) = SO(n, 1) up to compact factors, and if we assume that for all n, the tempered cohomological representations are not limits of complementary series in the automorphic dual of SO(n, 1), then for all n, non-tempered cohomological representations are isolated in the automorphic dual of G. This reduces conjectures of Bergeron to the case of tempered cohomological representations.
