On extensions of generalized Steinberg representations (Q2575730)

The work is strongly related to a series of works in connection with a geometric construction of local Langlands maps. From the author's abstract: ``Let \(F\) be a local non-Archimedean field and let \(G\) be the group of \(F\)-valued points of a connected reductive algebraic group over \(F\). In this paper we compute the Ext-groups of generalized Steinberg representations in the category of smooth \(G\)-representations with coefficients in a certain self-injective ring.'' From the author's introduction: ``The origin of the problem we treat here is the computation of the étale cohomology of \(p\)-adic period domains with finite coefficients. In [\textit{S. Orlik}, Invent. Math. 162, No. 3, 523--549 (2005; Zbl 1093.14065)] the computation yields a filtration of smooth representations of a \(p\)-adic Lie group on the cohomology groups, which is induced by a certain spectral sequence. A natural problem which arises in this context is to show that this filtration splits canonically. The graded pieces of the filtration are essentially generalized Steinberg representations. A natural task is therefore to study the extensions of these representations.'' The period domains under consideration were introduced by \textit{M. Rapoport} and \textit{Th. Zink} [Period spaces for \(p\)-divisible groups. Annals of Mathematics Studies 141, Princeton University Press)(1996; Zbl 0873.14039)].
