Title: Regular Supercuspidal Representations
We show that, in good residual characteristic, most supercuspidal representations of a tamely ramified reductive p-adic group G arise from pairs (S,\theta), where S is a tame elliptic maximal torus of G, and \theta is a character of S satisfying a simple root-theoretic property. We then give a new expression for the roots of unity that appear in the Adler-DeBacker-Spice character formula for these supercuspidal representations and use it to show that this formula bears a striking resemblance to the character formula for discrete series representations of real reductive groups. Led by this, we explicitly construct the local Langlands correspondence for these supercuspidal representations and prove stability and endoscopic transfer in the case of toral representations. In large residual characteristic this gives a construction of the local Langlands correspondence for almost all supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups.  more » « less

    Abstract We study the l -adic cohomology of unramified Rapoport–Zink spaces of EL-type. These spaces were used in Harris and Taylor's proof of the local Langlands correspondence for $$\mathrm {GL_n}$$ and to show local–global compatibilities of the Langlands correspondence. In this paper we consider certain morphisms $$\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }$$ of Grothendieck groups of representations constructed from the cohomology of these spaces, as studied by Harris and Taylor, Mantovan, Fargues, Shin and others. Due to earlier work of Fargues and Shin we have a description of $$\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$$ for $$\rho $$ a supercuspidal representation. In this paper, we give a conjectural formula for $$\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$$ for $$\rho $$ an admissible representation and prove it when $$\rho $$ is essentially square-integrable. Our proof works for general $$\rho $$ conditionally on a conjecture appearing in Shin's work. We show that our description agrees with a conjecture of Harris in the case of parabolic inductions of supercuspidal representations of a Levi subgroup.

    We give a geometric construction of representations of parahoric subgroups P P of a reductive group G G over a local field which splits over an unramified extension. These representations correspond to characters θ \theta of unramified maximal tori and, when the torus is elliptic, are expected to give rise to supercuspidal representations of G G . We calculate the character of these P P -representations on a special class of regular semisimple elements of G G . Under a certain regularity condition on θ \theta , we prove that the associated P P -representations are irreducible. This generalizes a construction of Lusztig from the hyperspecial case to the setting of an arbitrary parahoric.

    Let $$F$$ be a non-archimedean local field of residual characteristic $$p \neq 2$$ . Let $$G$$ be a (connected) reductive group over $$F$$ that splits over a tamely ramified field extension of $$F$$ . We revisit Yu's construction of smooth complex representations of $G(F)$ from a slightly different perspective and provide a proof that the resulting representations are supercuspidal. We also provide a counterexample to Proposition 14.1 and Theorem 14.2 in Yu [ Construction of tame supercuspidal representations , J. Amer. Math. Soc. 14 (2001), 579–622], whose proofs relied on a typo in a reference.

    Abstract We prove a 1979 conjecture of Lusztig on the cohomology of semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties attached to division algebras over local fields. We also prove the two conjectures of Boyarchenko on these varieties. It is known that in this setting, the semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties are ind-schemes comprised of limits of certain finite-type schemes X h {X_{h}} . Boyarchenko’s two conjectures are on the maximality of X h {X_{h}} and on the behavior of the torus-eigenspaces of their cohomology. Both of these conjectures were known in full generality only for division algebras with Hasse invariant 1 / n {1/n} in the case h = 2 {h=2} (the “lowest level”) by the work of Boyarchenko–Weinstein on the cohomology of a special affinoid in the Lubin–Tate tower. We prove that the number of rational points of X h {X_{h}} attains its Weil–Deligne bound, so that the cohomology of X h {X_{h}} is pure in a very strong sense. We prove that the torus-eigenspaces of the cohomology group H c i ⁢ ( X h ) {H_{c}^{i}(X_{h})} are irreducible representations and are supported in exactly one cohomological degree. Finally, we give a complete description of the homology groups of the semi-infinite Deligne–Lusztig varieties attached to any division algebra, thus giving a geometric realization of a large class of supercuspidal representations of these groups. Moreover, the correspondence θ ↦ H c i ⁢ ( X h ) ⁢ [ θ ] {\theta\mapsto H_{c}^{i}(X_{h})[\theta]} agrees with local Langlands and Jacquet–Langlands correspondences. The techniques developed in this paper should be useful in studying these constructions for p -adic groups in general.

    We show thatL-packets of toral supercuspidal representations arising from unramified maximal tori ofp-adic groups are realized by Deligne–Lusztig varieties for parahoric subgroups. We prove this by exhibiting a direct comparison between the cohomology of these varieties and algebraic constructions of supercuspidal representations. Our approach is to establish that toral irreducible representations are uniquely determined by the values of their characters on a domain of sufficiently regular elements. This is an analogue of Harish-Chandra’s characterization of real discrete series representations by their characters on regular elements of compact maximal tori, a characterization which Langlands relied on in his construction ofL-packets of these representations. In parallel to the real case, we characterize the members of Kaletha’s toralL-packets by their characters on sufficiently regular elements of elliptic maximal tori.
