Let G be a compact Lie group. By a representation of a group (or a Lie algebra) we always mean a finite dimensional complex representation unless we explicitly say otherwise. A closed subgroup H of G is called a multiplicity bounded subgroup if it has the following property: There is a constant K> 0 such that for any irreducible representation@ of G, all the irreducible H-components of the restriction@ I~ of@ to H have multiplicity at most K. If we can choose K= 1, we call H a multiplicity] ree subgroup. In [5] the authors give a necessary and sufficient condition for a subgroup to be multiplicity free (Theorem 1 in [5]). They also discuss the significance of multiplicity free subgroups in physics. The condition in [5] is closely related to an earlier criterion of Godement ([4], 13, Coroll. of Theor. 8) and is surely the,, right" condition from a geometrical point of view. For the purpose of classification however it is not so practicable. In the present paper we give a classification of the multiplicity free subg-{oups of compact connected Lie groups (see our Theorem). It turns out that one gets only such subgroups which are classically known to be multiplicity free. Our approach is quite different from that in [5]. To do the classification, we derive a necessary condition for the closed subgroup H to be multiplicity bounded (Proposition 1) which a posteriori turns out to be also sufficient. The way of proving Proposition 1 may have an interest of its own: By means of general estimations on the,, asymptotical" behaviour of dimensions of representations, of multiplicities of weights and so on, we obtain a concrete condition which is powerful enough to deliver the desired classification rather quickly.
