Abstract: Let G be the group of rational points of a general linear group over a non-archimedean local field F. We show that certain representations of open, compact-mod-centre subgroups of G, (the maximal simple types of Bushnell and Kutzko) can be realized as concrete spaces. In the level zero case our result is essentially due to Gelfand. This allows us, for a supercuspidal representation pi of G, to compute a distinguished matrix coefficient of pi. By integrating, we obtain an explicit Whittaker function for pi. We use this to compute the epsilon factor of pairs, for supercuspidal representations pi1, pi2 of G, when pi1 and the contragredient of pi2 differ only at the `tame level' (more precisely, pi1 and checkpi2 contain the same simple character). We do this by computing both sides of the functional equation defining the epsilon factor, using the definition of Jacquet, Piatetskii-Shapiro, Shalika. We also investigate the behaviour of the epsilon factor under twisting of pi1 by tamely ramified quasi-characters. Our results generalise the special case pi1=checkpi2 totally wildly ramified, due to Bushnell and Henniart.
