Abstract

We prove that a certain class of irreducible representations of the classical p-adic groups is unitarizable and in general, can be isolated in the unitary dual. These representations are Aubert duals of a certain class of square-integrable representations, thus, in this case, Bernstein’s conjecture, which states that the Aubert involution preserves unitarizability, is confirmed.
