Extensions of tempered representations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let pi,pi′ be irreducible tempered representations of an affine Hecke algebra H with positive parameters. We compute the higher extension groups ExtHn(pi,pi′) explicitly in terms of the representations of analytic R-groups corresponding to pi and pi′. The result has immediate applications to the computation of the Euler-Poincar'e pairing EP(pi,pi′), the alternating sum of the dimensions of the Ext-groups. The resulting formula for EP(pi,pi′) is equal to Arthur's formula for the elliptic pairing of tempered characters in the setting of reductive p-adic groups. Our proof applies equally well to affine Hecke algebras and to reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields of arbitrary characteristic. This sheds new light on the formula of Arthur and gives a new proof of Kazhdan's orthogonality conjecture for the Euler-Poincar'e pairing of admissible characters.
