Some results on the unramified principal series of \(p\)-adic groups (Q1204144): Difference between revisions

Let \(G\) denote an unramified quasisplit reductive \(p\)-adic group, \(\chi\) an unramified character of a minimal parabolic subgroup \(P\) and \(I(\chi) = \text{Ind}^ G_ P \chi\) the induced principal series representation. Let \(\pi(\chi)\) be the unique irreducible unramified subquotient of \(I(\chi)\). The first result of the paper says that \(\pi(\chi)\) has a Whittaker model iff \(\chi\) is not annihilated by any nondivisible root. Under a certain condition to the group this gives that \(\pi(\chi)\) has a Whittaker model iff \(I(\chi)\) is irreducible, i.e.: \(I(\chi) = \pi(\chi)\). Further some explicit formulas for the spherical functions and the Whittaker functions are given.
