Higher ramification and the local Langlands correspondence

Abstract: Let

F

be a non-Archimedean locally compact field. We show that the local Langlands correspondence over

F

has a strong property generalizing the higher ramification theorem of local class field theory. If

p i

is an irreducible cuspidal representation of a general linear group

G L_{n} (F)

and

s i g m a

the corresponding irreducible representation of the Weil group

W_{F}

of

F

, the restriction of

s i g m a

to a ramification subgroup of

W_{F}

is determined by a truncation of the simple character

h e t a_{p} i

contained in

p i

, and conversely. Numerical aspects of the relation are governed by a Herbrand-like function

P s i_{T} h e t a

depending on the endo-class

T h e t a

of

h e t a_{p} i

. We give a method for determining

P s i_{T} h e t a

. Consequently, the ramification-theoretic structure of

s i g m a

can be predicted from the simple character

h e t a_{p} i

alone.
