Computations with Bernstein projectors of SL(2)

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For the p-adic group G=SL (2) , we present results of the computations of the sums of the Bernstein projectors of a given depth. Motivation for the computations is based on a conversation with Roger Howe in August 2013. The computations are elementary, but they provide an expansion of the delta distribution {delta}_{1_G} into an infinite sum of G -invariant locally integrable essentially compact distributions supported on the set of topologically unipotent elements. When these distributions are transferred, by the exponential map, to the Lie algebra, they give G -invariant distributions supported on the set of topologically nilpotent elements, whose Fourier Transforms turn out to be characteristic functions of very natural G -domains. The computations in particular rely on the SL(2) discrete series character tables computed by Sally-Shalika in 1968. This new phenomenon for general rank has also been independently noticed in recent work of Bezrukavnikov, Kazhdan, and Varshavsky.


For the $p$-adic group $G=\mathrm{SL}(2)$, the author presents results of the computations of sums of the Bernstein projectors of a given depth (see also [\textit{R. Bezrukavnikov} et al., Sel. Math., New Ser. 22, No. 4, 2271--2311 (2016; Zbl 1370.22013)]). In particular, he provides an expansion of the delta distribution $\delta_{1_G}$ into an infinite sum of $G$-invariant locally integrable essentially compact distributions supported on the set of topologically unipotent elements. Transferred by the exponential map to the Lie algebra, the above distributions give $G$-invariant distributions supported on the set of topologically nilpotent elements with the explicitly calculated Fourier transforms. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1387.11001].
