Abstract: For a real reductive group G, the center

m a t h f r a k z (m a t h c a l U (m a t h f r a k g))

of the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

of G acts on the space of distributions on G. This action proved to be very useful (see e.g. [HC63, HC65, Sha74, Bar03]). Over non-Archimedean local fields, one can replace this action by the action of the Bernstein center z of G, i.e. the center of the category of smooth representations. However, this action is not well studied. In this paper we provide some tools to work with this action and prove the following results. 1) The wave-front set of any z-finite distribution on G over any point

g i n G

lies inside the nilpotent cone of

T_{g}^{*} G c o n g m a t h f r a k g

. 2) Let

H_{1}, H_{2} s u b s e t G

be symmetric subgroups. Consider the space J of

H_{1} i m e s H_{2}

-invariant distributions on G. We prove that the z-finite distributions in J form a dense subspace. In fact we prove this result in wider generality, where the groups

H_{i}

are spherical groups of certain type and the invariance condition is replaced by equivariance. Further we apply those results to density and regularity of spherical characters. The first result can be viewed as a version of Howe's expansion of characters. The second result can be viewed as a spherical space analog of a classical theorem on density of characters of admissible representations. It can also be viewed as a spectral version of Bernstein's localization principle. In the Archimedean case, the first result is well-known and the second remains open.

Review text

We cite from the abstract and from the introduction of this paper: Let \(\mathbf G\) be a reductive group defined over a non-Archimedean local field \(F\). Let \(G = \mathbf G(F)\) be the corresponding \(l\)-group and let \(S(G)\) be the space of locally constant compactly supported functions on \(G\). Let \(z = z(G) = \mathrm{End}_{G \times G}(S(G))\) denote the Bernstein center. The action of \(z\) on \(S(G)\) gives rise to the dual action on the space of distributions \(S^\ast(G)\). In this paper, we study \(z\)-finite distributions, i.e., distributions \(\xi\) such that \(\dim( z \cdot \xi) < \infty\). We provide some tools to work with aforementioned action and prove the following results. The wavefront set of any \(z\)-finite distribution \(\xi\) on \(G\) over any point \(x \in G\) lies inside the nilpotent cone of \(T_x ^\ast G \cong g\). Let \(H_1, H_2 \in G\) be symmetric subgroups. Consider the space \(J\) of \(H_1 \times H_2\)-invariant distributions on \(G\). We prove that the \(z\)-finite distributions in \(J\) form a dense subspace. In fact, we prove this result in wider generality, where the groups \(H_i\) are spherical subgroups of certain type and the invariance condition is replaced by equivariance. Further, we apply those results to density and regularity of relative characters. The first result can be viewed as a version of Howe's expansion of characters. The second result can be viewed as a spherical space analog of a classical theorem on density of characters of finite length representations. It can also be viewed as a spectral version of Bernstein's localization principle. In the Archimedean case, the first result is well-known and the second remains open. There are also two appendices to this paper (that occupy almost half of it): Appendix A. ``Fuzzy balls (jointly with A. Kemarsky) Appendix B. ``Finite Generation of Hecke Modules (by A. Aizenbud and D. Gourevitch)
