Jordan blocks of cuspidal representations of symplectic groups (Q1727413)

Let \(F\) be a locally compact nonarchimedean local field of odd residual characteristic, and let \(G\) be the symplectic group preserving a nondegenerate alternating form on an even-dimensional \(F\)-vector space. According to the local Langlands conjectures for \(G\), a Langlands parameter is attached to an irreducible representation of \(G\), and the representations with a given parameter form a finite set of isomorphism classes called an \(L\)-packet for \(G\). In this paper, given an irreducible cuspidal representation of \(G\), the authors determine its Langlands parameters, or equivalently its Jordan blocks, in terms of the local data from which the representation is constructed, up to a possible unramified twist in each block of the parameter. They obtain a ramification theorem for \(G\), which gives a bijection between the set of endoparameters for \(G\) and the set of restrictions to wild inertia of discrete Langlands parameters for \(G\), compatible with the local Langlands correspondence. The results are obtained by analyzing the Hecke algebra of a good cover for parabolic induction from a cuspidal representation of \(G \times\mathrm{GL}_n\), viewed as a maximal Levi subgroup of a bigger symplectic group, in order to determine reducibility points, and then relates this to Langlands parameters.
