The author studies the local metaplectic correspondence with special reference to the Iwahori fixed vectors of the unramified principal series and to unitarizability. In particular, he extends the result of \textit{D. Barbasch} and \textit{A. Moy} [Invent. Math. 98, 19-37 (1988; Zbl 0676.22012)] by showing that the unitarity of a metaplectic representation can be detected on the space of its Iwahori fixed vectors. Let \(F\) be a \(p\)-adic field, and let \(G\) be the group of \(F\)-rational points of a simply connected Chevalley group. Let \(n\) be a positive integer such that \(F\) has \(n\) \(n\)-th roots of unity and such that \(n\) is relatively prime to the residual characteristic of \(F\). Let \(\widetilde G\) be the metaplectic cover of \(G\) of degree \(n\). Introduce the Hecke algebra \(\widetilde H\) of Iwahori-bi-invariant compactly supported genuine functions on \(\widetilde G\). By results of \textit{G. Savin} [Math. Ann. 280, 185-190 (1988; Zbl 0644.22007)], there exists an algebraic group \(G'\) such that the Iwahori Hecke algebra \(H'=H(G')\) of \(G'\) is isomorphic to \(\widetilde H\). Fix now an unramified principal series \(I\) of \(\widetilde G\) and let \(I'\) be the unramified principal series of \(G'\) corresponding to it. Then the author proves that the spaces of Iwahori fixed vectors of \(I\) and \(I'\) yield equivalent representations of the two isomorphic Hecke algebras \(H\) and \(H'\) respectively. Moreover, he constructs a bijection between the (equivalence classes of) irreducible admissible representations of \(\widetilde G\) and those of \(G\) which are each generated by their Iwahori-fixed vectors, and he then shows that one of the corresponding representations is unitary if and only if the other is.
