Parabolic induction is a method used in representation theory, particularly in the study of reductive Lie groups and their representations. It is a technique that allows one to construct representations of a group from representations of its parabolic subgroups. This method is particularly helpful in understanding the representation theory of larger groups by breaking it down into more manageable pieces.
