Abstract: The generalised Springer correspondence for $G=mathrmSO(N,mathbbC)$ attaches to a pair $(C,mathcalE)$, where $C$ is a unipotent class of $G$ and $mathcalE$ is an irreducible $G$-equivariant local system on $C$, an irreducible representation $ho(C,mathcalE)$ of a relative Weyl group of $G$. We call $C$ the Springer support of $ho(C,mathcalE)$. For each such $(C,mathcalE)$, $ho(C,mathcalE)$ appears with multiplicity 1 in the top cohomology of some variety. Let $$ be the representation obtained by summing over all cohomology groups of this variety. It is well-known that $ho(C,mathcalE)$ appears in $$ with multiplicity $1$ and that it is a `minimal subrepresentation' in the sense that its Springer support $C$ is strictly minimal in the closure ordering among the Springer supports of the irreducbile subrepresentations of $$. Suppose $C$ is parametrised by an orthogonal partition consisting of only odd parts. We prove that there exists a unique `maximal subrepresentation' $ho(C^{mathrmmax},mathcal{E}^{mathrmmax})$ of multiplicity $1$ of $$. Let $mathrmsgn$ be the sign representation of the relevant relative Weyl group. We also show that $mathrmsgnotimesho(C^{mathrmmax},mathcal{E}^{mathrmmax})$ is the minimal subrepresentation of $$. These results are direct analogues of similar maximality and minimality results for $mathrmSp(2n,mathbbC)$ by Waldspurger.
