Signs of self-dual depth-zero supercuspidal representations

Abstract: Let

G

be a quasi-split tamely ramified connected reductive group defined over a

p

-adic field

F

. We show that if

- 1

is in the

F

-points of the absolute Weyl group of

G

, then self-dual supercuspidal representations of

G (F)

exist. Now assume further that

G

is unramified and that the center of

G

is connected. Let

p i

be a generic self-dual depth-zero regular supercuspidal representation of

G (F)

. We show that the Frobenius-Schur indicator of

p i

is given by the sign by which a certain distinguished element of the center of

G (F)

of order two acts on

p i

.
