On the local Langlands conjecture for GL(n): the cyclic case (Q1073094): Difference between revisions

Let F be a non-Archimedean local field. Let \(G\circ (n)\) denote the set of equivalence classes of irreducible representations of degree n of the Weil group \(W_ F\) and \(A\circ (n)\) the set of equivalence classes of irreducible supercuspidal representations of GL(n,F). According to the Langlands conjectures there should exist a sequence of bijections \(\pi_ n: G\circ (n)\to A\circ (n)\), preserving L- and \(\epsilon\)-factors (for pairs) and extending class field theory. Let \(G^ c(n)\) be the subset of \(G\circ (n)\) consisting of the classes of representations which are induced from a cyclic extension of degree n of F and let \(A^ c(n)\) be the subset of \(A\circ (n)\) consisting of \(\pi\) such that \(\pi \otimes \chi =\pi\) for some character \(\chi\) of \(F^{\times}\) of order n. In the paper a natural bijection \(\pi^ c_ n: G^ c(n)\to A^ c(n)\) is constructed, which, among other properties, preserves L- and \(\epsilon\)-factors. A similar construction had been given by Kazhdan, without establishing the property with respect to L- and \(\epsilon\)- factors, however. Moreover, in the author's work the proofs are complete also in positive characteristic. The proof uses global means, such as the trace formula for the multiplicative group \(A^{\times}\) of a central division algebra A of degree n over a global field and the correspondence between automorphic representations for GL(n) and for \(A^{\times}.\) The result of the paper can be applied to get a bijection \(G\circ (p)\to A\circ (p)\), where p \(= residue\) characteristic of F.
