Isogenies of Hecke algebras and a Langlands correspondence for ramified principal series representations (Q4547424)

Let \(G\) denote the group of rational points of a split reductive \(p\)-adic group with connected center. In this paper, the author classifies the principal series of representations of \(G\) in terms of the geometry of the dual group of \(G\), thus establishing a Langlands correspondence for such representations. In order to achieve his aim, the author first generalizes work of \textit{D. Kazhdan} and \textit{G. Lusztig} [Invent. Math. 87, 153-215 (1987; Zbl 0613.22004)] (who classified the unramified principal series in the case where the derived group of \(G\) is simply connected) to the nonsimply-connected case. This requires using work of \textit{A. Ram} and \textit{J. Ramagge} [Affine Hecke algebras, cyclotomic Hecke algebras and Clifford theory, preprint (1999)]. Second, the author applies a result of \textit{A. Roche} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 31, 361-413 (1998; Zbl 0903.22009)], who used Hecke algebra isomorphisms to relate the principal series of \(G\) to the unramified principal series of smaller groups \(H\) (which can in general be disconnected; see below). Third, the author shows that his classification is compatible with the action of the Weyl group on the inducing data. This establishes a Langlands correspondence. Finally, the author determines which Langlands data correspond to representations admitting a Whittaker model. In order to relax the condition that \(G\) has connected center, one would have to deal with Hecke algebras attached to disconnected groups. Moreover, Roche's construction depends on the assumption that the residual characteristic does not take on certain small values. However, in the case of unramified principal series, this paper gives a result valid for all split \(p\)-adic groups.
