Types and unitary representations of reductive \(p\)-adic groups (Q1656699): Difference between revisions

Let \(F\) denote a non-Archimedean local field with finite residue field. Let \(G\) be the \(F\)-points of a connected reductive algebraic group defined over \(F\). Let \({\mathcal H}\) be the Hecke algebra of \(G\). For \(e\) an idempotent of \(\mathcal{H}\), there is a canonical bijection between \(\operatorname{Irr}(G)\) the set of irreducible smooth complex representations of \(G\) and \(\operatorname{Irr}(e\mathcal{H}e)\) the set of simple \(e\mathcal{H}e\)-modules. The bijection induces a bijection between tempered representations. This paper studies when it induces a bijection between unitary representations. Let \(\mathcal{K}\) be a compact open subgroup of \(G\) and \(\rho\) an irreducible representation of \(\mathcal{K}\) such that \((\mathcal{K},\rho)\) is a type. The paper defines the notion of \textit{rigid} types. The main result shows that when \((\mathcal{K},\rho)\) is rigid, for \(e=e_\rho\) the corresponding idempotent, the bijection above does induce a bijection between unitary representations. There are many cases when the type \((\mathcal{K},\rho)\) is rigid. If \(\mathcal{K}\) is a subgroup of an Iwahori group then the type is rigid. Any level 0 type is rigid. In particular every irreducible smooth \(G\)-representation contains a rigid type.
