On the nilpotent representations of \(GL_ n({\mathcal O})\) (Q1325183)

The author constructs some irreducible representations of the profinite group \(GL_ n({\mathcal O})\), where \(\mathcal O\) is the ring of integers in the \(p\)-adic field \(K\). These representations are nilpotent in the sense of his paper [in Commun. Algebra 21, 3529-3543 (1993; Zbl 0788.20026)]. To find them he decomposes a Hecke algebra into ideals by extending combinatorial methods of \textit{P. Delsarte} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 20, 230-343 (1976; Zbl 0342.05020]. The combinatorics enters through the classification by partitions of finite \(\mathcal O\)-modules.
