Classification of one $\textsf K$-type representations





Let \(G\) be the group of \(F\)-rational points of a split reductive group over a \(p\)-adic field \(F\). Let \(I\) be an Iwahori subgroup of \(G\) and let \(\mathcal H(G//I)\) be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of \(G\) with respect to \(I\), that is, the convolution algebra of compactly supported functions on \(G\) which are \(I\)-invariant on both sides. The category of admissible \(G\)-modules which are generated by their Iwahori fixed vectors is in natural equivalence with the category of finite dimensional \({\mathcal H}(G//I)\)-modules. This equivalence is given by sending a representation \(V\) of \(G\) to the space \(V^I\) of its \(I\)-fixed vectors. In [Invent. Math. 98, 19-37 (1988; Zbl 0676.22012), J. Am. Math. Soc. 6, No. 3, 611-635 (1993; Zbl 0835.22016)] the present authors have proved that the unitarity of \(V\) can be detected on \(V^I\) (more precisely \(V\) is unitary if and only if \(V^I\) is), and they have reduced the classification of the irreducible unitary representations of \(G\) which have non-zero Iwahori fixed vector, to similar questions regarding unitary representations of Iwahori-Hecke and graded Hecke algebras. The relation between Iwahori-Hecke and graded Hecke algebras has been described by \textit{G. Lusztig} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 2, No. 3, 599-635 (1989; Zbl 0715.22020)]. Let \(W\) be a Weyl group and let \((X,Y,R,\check R,\Pi)\) be a reduced simple root system whose reflection group is \(W\). The graded Hecke algebra \(\mathbb H\) associated to the root system is an algebra containing the group algebra \(\mathbb C W\) of \(W\) and the algebra \(\mathcal S\) of polynomials on \(\mathbb C\otimes_\mathbb Z Y\). As a vector space, \(\mathbb H=\mathbb C W\otimes_\mathbb C\mathcal S\). The algebra \(\mathbb H\) comes equipped with a \(*\)-operation. A finite dimensional irreducible representation \((\pi,H)\) of \(\mathbb H\) is said to be Hermitian (resp. unitary) if there is a non-degenerate (resp. definite) Hermitian form \(\langle , \rangle\) on \(H\) such that \(\langle\pi(h)v_1,v_2\rangle=\langle v_1,\pi(h^*)v_2\rangle\) for every \(h\in\mathbb H\) and every \(v_1,v_2\in H\). An irreducible representation of \(\mathbb C W\) which can be extended as an Hermitian representation to \(\mathbb H\) is said to be a one \(K\)-type representation. Such representations are unitary. Besides in unitarizability, they play a role in the theory of the automorphic forms associated with \(G\). In [J. Am. Math. Soc. 6, No. 3, 611-635 (1993; Zbl 0835.22016)] the authors have shown that the description of the unitary dual can be reduced to the description in the real infinitesimal character case (that is, the situation where the elements of \(X\) act with real eigenvalues). In the paper under review, they obtain a classification of the one \(K\)--type representations with real infinitesimal character for all simple root systems.
