The Mackey restriction formula says that for subgroups and a -representation ,
where .
For , the Bruhat decomposition of SL2 over a finite field gives
Thus has representatives . The identity double coset contributes , while
contributes an induced representation from the diagonal subgroup. Therefore
where
For , one has .
Apply Frobenius reciprocity and then the decomposition from part (i):
Since all the representations in the last line are one-dimensional,
It is therefore when both equalities hold, when exactly one holds, and when neither holds. This is the mackey inner product for the finite SL2 principal series.
