Let F be a locally compact non-archimedean field, p its residue characteristic, and G a connected reductive group over F . Let C be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We give a complete classification of irreducible admissible Crepresentations of G = G(F ), in terms of supercuspidal C-representations of the Levi subgroups of G, and parabolic induction. Thus we push to their natural conclusion the ideas of the third-named author, who treated the case G = GLm, as further expanded by the first-named author, who treated split groups G. As in the split case, we first get a classification in terms of supersingular representations of Levi subgroups, and as a consequence show that supersingularity is the same as supercuspidality.
ContentsStart with a parabolic subgroup P of G, with Levi quotient M , and a representation σ of M . Then there is a largest parabolic subgroup P (σ) of G, containing P , such that 4 N. ABE, G. HENNIART, F. HERZIG, AND M.-F. VIGNÉRAS B of G with Levi subgroup Z, the F -points of the centralizer of S, and we write U for the unipotent radical of B.Let V be an irreducible representation of K -it has finite dimension. If (π, W ) is an admissible representation of G, then Hom K (V, W ) is a finite-dimensional C-vector space; by Frobenius reciprocity Homand we focus on the corresponding characters of Z G (V ), which we call the (Hecke) eigenvalues of Z G (V ) in π.For any parabolic subgroup P of G containing B, with Levi component M containing Z and unipotent radical N , the space of coinvariants V N ∩K of N ∩ K in V provides an irreducible representation of M ∩ K and by [He1, He2, HV2] there is a natural injective algebra homomorphism. Both homomorphisms are localizations at a central element. A character χ : Z G (V ) → C is said to be supersingular if, in the above situation, it can be extended to a character of Z M (V N ∩K ) only when P = G (see Chapter III, part A) for details). A supersingular representation of G is an irreducible admissible representation (π, W ) such that for all weights V of π, all eigenvalues of Z G (V ) in π are supersingular 2 .A triple (P, σ, Q) as in I.3 is a B-triple if P contains B; it is said to be supersingular if it is a B-triple and σ is a supersingular representation of the Levi quotient of P .Theorems 1 to 3 are consequences of the following results.Theorem 4. For each supersingular triple (P, σ, Q), the representation I(P, σ, Q) is irreducible and admissible. If π is an irreducible admissible representation of G, there is a supersingular triple (P, σ, Q) such that π is isomorphic to I(P, σ, Q); moreover P and Q are unique and σ is unique up to isomorphism.Theorem 5. Let π be an irreducible admissible representation of G. Then π is supercuspidal if and only if it is supersingular.(For G = GL 2 this was discovered by Barthel and Livné.)Note that Theorem 5 implies, in particular, that the notion of supersingularity does not depend on the choices of S, K, B necessary for the definition -beware that in general two choices of K will not even be conjugat...
