Affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties of higher level and the local Langlands correspondence for \(\mathrm{GL}_2\) (Q2629115)

The pioneering work by Deligne and Lusztig realized almost all representations of finite groups of Lie types on \(\ell\)-adic cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. Since then it is a dream to have an affine analogue of the story, i.e., to realize as many as possible representations of \(p\)-adic groups on the cohomology of a certain affine analogue of Deligne-Lusztig varieties. There are some global ways of doing it, for example looking at the cohomology of Shimura varieties. Rapopport defined the so-called affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties attached to an element in the extended affine Weyl group and another element in the \(p\)-adic group. It is closely related to Shimura varieties. In this paper, the author considers a certain cover of an affine Deligne-Lusztig variety which is attached to a concave level function and also an associated parahoric subgroup. This extended affine Deligne-Lusztig variety carries the action of the desired \(p\)-adic group and additional torus-type group. When \(G=\mathrm{GL}_2\) and the local field \(F\) is of equal characteristic, and fix a certain special concave function, it turns out that the cohomology of the extended affine Deligne-Lusztig variety realizes a one-to-one correspondence between the admissible pairs over \(F\) attached to a quadratic extension \(E/F\), and the unramified cuspidal representations of \(\mathrm{GL}_2(F)\). In some sense it covers a result of \textit{C. J. Bushnell} and \textit{G. Henniart} [The local Langlands conjecture for \(\mathrm{GL}(2)\). Berlin: Springer (2006; Zbl 1100.11041)]. The main point of this paper is that the technique is purely local.
