Abstract

We give a complete classification of reductive symmetric pairs (𝔤,𝔥) with the following property: there exists at least one infinite-dimensional irreducible (𝔤,K)-module X that is discretely decomposable as an (𝔥,H∩K)-module. We investigate further if such X can be taken to be a minimal representation, a Zuckerman derived functor module A𝔮(λ), or some other unitarizable (𝔤,K)-module. The tensor product π1⊗π2 of two infinite-dimensional irreducible (𝔤,K)-modules arises as a very special case of our setting. In this case, we prove that π1⊗π2 is discretely decomposable if and only if π₁ and π₂ are simultaneously highest weight modules.
