Supercuspidal representations of $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$ distinguished by an orthogonal involution
Let $F$ be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic $p\neq2$, let $G=\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$ and let $H$ be an orthogonal subgroup of $G$. For $\pi$ a complex smooth supercuspidal representation of $G$, we give a full characterization for the distinguished space $\mathrm{Hom}_{H}(\pi,1)$ being non-zero and we further study its dimension as a complex vector space, which generalizes a similar result of Hakim for tame supercuspidal representations. As a corollary, the embeddings of $\pi$ in the space of smooth functions on the set of symmetric matrices in $G$, as a complex vector space, is non-zero and of dimension four, if and only if the central character of $\pi$ evaluating at $-1$ is $1$.
