Geometric conditions for \(\square\)-irreducibility of certain representations of the general linear group over a non-Archimedean local field (Q1989699)

From the authors' abstract: ``Let \(\pi\) be an irreducible, complex, smooth representation of \(\mathrm{GL}_n\) over a local non-Archimedean (skew) field.'' Assume that no two segments in the Zelevinsky parameters of \(\pi\) have the same beginning or the same end. One says \(\pi\) is \(\square\)-irreducible if the parabolic induction of \(\pi \otimes \pi\) to \(\text{GL}_{2 n}\) is irreducible \dots `we give a geometric necessary and sufficient criterion for the irreducibility. The latter irreducibility property is the \(p\)-adic analogue of a special case of the notion of ``real representations'' introduced by \textit{B. Leclerc} [Transform. Groups 8, No. 1, 95--104 (2003; Zbl 1044.17009)] and studied recently by \textit{S.-J. Kang} et al. [Compos. Math. 151, No. 2, 377--396 (2015; Zbl 1366.17014)] (in the context of KLR or quantum affine algebras). Our criterion is in terms of singularities of Schubert varieties of type \(A\) and admits a simple combinatorial description. It is also equivalent to a condition studied by \textit{C. Geiß} et al. [Invent. Math. 165, No. 3, 589--632 (2006; Zbl 1167.16009); Adv. Math. 228, No. 1, 329--433 (2011; Zbl 1232.17035)]. The proofs involve a lot of combinatorics with multisegments.
