On the local Langlands correspondence mod \(\ell\) (Q5935877)

Let \(l\not =p\) be two rational primes, \(K\) a \(p\)-adic field, fix embeddings of \(\overline {\mathbb{Q}}\) into \(\overline {\mathbb{Q}}_p\) and \(\overline {\mathbb{Q}}_l\). Let \(\ell\) be the place of \(\overline {\mathbb{Q}}\) fixed by the second one. The main theorem of the paper is: if two supercuspidal representations \(\pi\) and \(\pi'\) of \(GL(n,K)\) over \(\overline {\mathbb{Q}}_l\) have the same finite order central character as well as isomorphic mod-\(\ell\)-reductions (which exist following Vignéras), then the corresponding Galois representations \(\sigma\) and \(\sigma'\) (which exist by local Langlands correspondence) have mod-\(\ell\)-reductions which are isomorphic after semisimplification. The idea is to embed \(\pi\) and \(\pi'\) as local factors of automorphic representations \(\Pi\) and \(\Pi'\) on suitably chosen unitary groups such that these automorphic representations also are congruent at all unramified places modulo \(\ell\). This is achieved using methods of Carayol, Harris, Taylor and others concerning the cohomology of Kottwitz' Shimura varieties. Then one may use further results of Kottwitz, Clozel and Taylor which associate global \(l\)-adic Galois representations to \(\Pi\) and \(\Pi'\). The restrictions of these to a decomposition group above \(p\) are then congruent modulo \(\ell\) up to semisimplification. These restrictions, however, are almost exactly \(\sigma\) and \(\sigma'\).
