The space of degenerate Whittaker models for general linear groups over a finite field
Let
, where
is a finite field, and P the (n,n) parabolic in G with Levi subgroup
and unipotent radical
. Let
0 be a nontrivial additive character
. Let
be the additive character on
. Let
be an irreducible admissible representation of G. Let
N,
, be the largest subspace of
on which N operates via
. Since
, it follows that
N,
is a representation space for
. The space
N,
, is referred to as the space of degenerate Whittaker models, or sometimes also as the twisted Jacquet functor of the representation
. The aim of this work is to calculate this for cuspidal representations of
