The general problem underlying this article is to give a qualitative classification Ε½ . of all compact subgroups β« ; GL F , where F is a local field and n is arbitrary. It is natural to ask whether β« is an open compact subgroup of H E , where H is a linear algebraic group over a closed subfield E ;

β¦ Synopsis
We introduce the notion of a multiplicity-free subgroup of a reductive algebraic group in arbitrary characteristic. This concept already exists in the work of Kramer for compact connected Lie groups. We give a classification of reductive multiplicity-free subgroups, and as a consequence obtain a simple proof of a theorem of Kleshchev.
