Abstract: We study the Knapp-Stein R-groups of the inner forms of SL(N) over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero, by using restriction from the inner forms of GL(N). As conjectured by Arthur, these R-groups are then shown to be naturally isomorphic to their dual avatars defined in terms of L-parameters. The 2-cocycles attached to R-groups can be described as well. The proofs are based on the results of K. Hiraga and H. Saito. We also construct examples to illustrate some new phenomena which do not occur in the case of SL(N) or classical groups.


This paper studies the \(R\)-groups -- both the Knapp-Stein \(R\)-groups defined using intertwining operators and the Arthur \(R\)-groups defined in terms of \(L\)-parameters -- of the inner forms of \(\text{SL}(N)\) over a \(p\)-adic field \(F\). The main approach is the restriction from the inner forms of \(\text{GL}(N)\). The authors use the Langlands correspondence for the inner forms of \(\text{SL}(N)\) established by \textit{K. Hiraga} and \textit{H. Saito} [Mem. Am. Math. Soc. 1013, iii--v, 97 p. (2012; Zbl 1242.22023)]. Let \(G^\sharp\) be an inner form of \(\text{SL}(N)\). Let \(\sigma^\sharp\) be a square integrable representation of a Levi subgroup of \(G^\sharp(F)\). On the representation-theoretic side, we have the Knapp-Stein \(R\)-group \(R_{\sigma^\sharp}\) and the corresponding central extension \(\widetilde{R}_{\sigma^\sharp}\) defined using the normalized intertwining operators. On the dual side, \(\sigma^\sharp\) belongs to an \(L\)-packet \(\Pi_{\phi^\sharp}\). We have the \(R\)-group \(R_{\phi^\sharp}\) corresponding to the packet \(\Pi_{\phi^\sharp}\) and the subgroup \(R_{\phi^\sharp, \sigma^\sharp} \subseteq R_{\phi^\sharp}\) attached to \(\sigma^\sharp \in \Pi_{\phi^\sharp}\). The authors prove that there is a canonical isomorphism \(R_{\sigma^\sharp} \simeq R_{\phi^\sharp, \sigma^\sharp}\), as conjectured by Arthur. In addition, the give a ``concrete description of \(R_{\phi^\sharp}\) and \(R_{\phi^\sharp, \sigma^\sharp}\), and a description of the 2-cocycles attached to \(R\)-groups. Finally, they give examples such that (i) \(\widetilde{R}_{\sigma^\sharp} \twoheadrightarrow R_{\sigma^\sharp} \) is not split, or (ii) \(R_{\phi^\sharp, \sigma^\sharp} \neq R_{\phi^\sharp}\).
