Introduction
Affine Hecke algebras typically arise in two different ways:
-
• from a presentation with generators and relations,
-
• from a Bernstein block of smooth representations of a reductive p-adic group.
The former is more general because the q-parameters for roots of different lengths can be chosen independently, whereas for p-adic groups there is always some algebraic relation between the various q-parameters. Affine Hecke algebras are simpler than p-adic groups, and that has made it possible to derive many results about representations of reductive p-adic groups by studying Hecke algebras.
The motivation for this paper comes from two directions. Firstly, there are well-known results in the representation theory of p-adic groups for which no Hecke algebra version has been worked out. Here we are thinking mainly of more algebraic aspects, roughly speaking the parts of Renard’s monograph [Reference Renard25] that also make sense for Hecke algebras. We want to prove analogues of those results using only Hecke algebras, which should be easier than for p-adic groups.
Secondly, we are interested in the generalized injectivity conjecture [Reference Casselman and Shahidi7], about generic subquotients of standard representations of quasi-split reductive p-adic groups. While this has been verified in many cases [Reference Dijols11], it remains open in general. We hope that an approach via Hecke algebras can provide new insights in that conjecture.
Hermitian duals
In the representation theory of groups, contragredients of representations play a substantial role. Therefore it would be desirable to develop a notion of contragredient representations for Hecke algebras. While that can be done, there is a problem. Namely, given a smooth representation
$\pi $
in a Bernstein block for a reductive p-adic group G, the contragredient
$\pi ^\vee $
need not lie in the same Bernstein block. So, if this Bernstein block would be equivalent to the module category of an affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}}$
, a notion of contragredience for
${\mathcal {H}}$
would never agree with contragredience for smooth G-representations.
Instead, we prefer to use Hermitian duals of complex G-representations, that is, the contragredient of the complex conjugate of a representation. The main advantage is that Hermitian duality for reductive p-adic groups always sends representations in one Bernstein block to the same Bernstein block [Reference Solleveld35, Lemma 2.2].
For an affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}}$
, with underlying (extended) affine Weyl group
$W \ltimes X$
and positive q-parameters, there is a natural conjugate-linear involution. In the Iwahori–Matsumoto presentation, it is given simply by
$T_w^* = T_{w^{-1}}$
for all
$w \in W \ltimes X$
. The Hermitian dual of an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$(\pi ,V)$
is defined as the vector space
$V^\dagger $
of conjugate-linear functions
$V \to {\mathbb {C}}$
, with the action
Before we formulate our first result, let us point out that the affine Hecke algebras that arise from reductive p-adic groups are often of a slightly more general kind. Let
$\Gamma $
be a finite group acting on
${\mathcal {H}}$
, preserving all the structure used to define
${\mathcal {H}}$
. (See Section 8 for the precise setup.) Then we can form the crossed product
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
, which is sometimes called an extended affine Hecke algebra. We may also involve a 2-cocycle
$\natural : \Gamma ^2 \to {\mathbb {C}}^\times $
, which gives rise to a twisted affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. Of course
$\Gamma $
may be the trivial group, in which case
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
and
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
reduce to
${\mathcal {H}}$
. We prove all our results first for
${\mathcal {H}}$
, and we generalize them to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
or
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
in Section 8.
Theorem A (see Theorem 5.3 and Section 8)
Let G be a reductive group over a non-archimedean local field and let
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
be a Bernstein block in the category of smooth complex G-representations. Suppose that
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is equivalent to the module category of a twisted affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, via a Morita equivalence as in [Reference Heiermann13] or [Reference Solleveld34, §10]. Then the equivalence
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s} \cong \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ])$
preserves Hermitian duals.
The Hermitian duals from (1) play a crucial role in our new results about representations of affine Hecke algebras; they are involved in the proofs of all the main results mentioned below.
Representation theory of affine Hecke algebras
For good notions of parabolic subalgebras, parabolic induction and parabolic restriction for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
with
$\Gamma $
nontrivial, we need some conditions on subgroups of
$\Gamma $
. These are listed in Condition 8.1, which we assume for the remainder of the introduction. In our setup, the root system R underlying
${\mathcal {H}}$
comes with a basis
$\Delta $
, and parabolic subalgebras
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
are parametrized bijectively by subsets
$P \subset \Delta $
.
Let
$w_\Delta $
be the longest element of
$W = W (R)$
and define
$P^{op} = w_\Delta (-P)$
. This is a subset of
$\Delta $
, which plays the role that an opposite parabolic subgroup plays for reductive groups. There is a *-algebra isomorphism
where
$w_P$
is the longest element of
$W_P = W(R_P)$
.
Theorem B (see Propositions 2.5, 2.7 and Section 8)
-
(a) Let $\rho $
be a representation of
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\rho ^\dagger )$
is canonically isomorphic to
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\rho )^\dagger $
. -
(b) Let $\pi $
be an
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
-representation. There is a canonical isomorphism $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{Res}^{{\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]}_{{\mathcal{H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_P,\natural]} (\pi^\dagger) \cong \mathrm{Res}^{{\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]}_{{\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_{P^{op}},\natural]} (\pi)^\dagger \circ \psi_{\Delta P}. \end{align*}$$
For Hecke algebras it is easily seen that the parabolic restriction functor
is the right adjoint of the parabolic induction functor
Like for p-adic groups, it requires more effort to find the second adjointness relation for parabolic induction. For graded Hecke algebras that had been achieved in [Reference Barbasch and Ciubotaru2], the arguments for affine Hecke algebras are somewhat more complicated.
Theorem C (see Theorem 3.1 and Section 8)
-
(a) The left adjoint of $\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]}$
is $$\begin{align*}\psi_{\Delta P}^* \circ \mathrm{Res}^{{\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]}_{{\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_{P^{op}},\natural]} : \pi \mapsto \mathrm{Res}^{{\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]}_{ {\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_{P^{op}},\natural]} (\pi) \circ \psi_{\Delta P}. \end{align*}$$
-
(b) The right adjoint of $\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}$
is $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_{P^{op}},\natural]}^{{\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]} \circ \psi_{\Delta P *} : \rho \mapsto \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma_{P^{op}},\natural]}^{ {\mathcal{H}} \rtimes {\mathbb{C}}[\Gamma,\natural]} (\rho \circ \psi_{\Delta P}^{-1}). \end{align*}$$
This is useful in several ways, for instance to find a filtration of the functor parabolic induction followed by parabolic restriction (Proposition 8.3).
Recall that the Langlands classification for a reductive p-adic group says:
-
(i) Every standard G-representation has a unique irreducible quotient.
-
(ii) This yields a bijection between the set of standard G-representations (up to isomorphism) and the set of irreducible smooth G-representations (also up to isomorphism).
By definition a standard G-representation is of the form
$I_P^G (\tau \otimes \chi )$
, where
$P = MU$
is a parabolic subgroup of G,
$\tau $
is an irreducible tempered M-representation and
$\chi $
is an unramified character of M in positive position with respect to P. In [Reference Renard25] the positivity of
$\chi $
was relaxed to a more algebraic regularity condition, such that (i) remains valid. Via contragredients or Hermitian duals, one can easily derive a version of the Langlands classification with subrepresentations instead of quotients.
For affine Hecke algebras the normal version of the Langlands classification is known from [Reference Evens12, Reference Solleveld31], but variations like those mentioned above had not been worked out yet. We say that an
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
-representation
$\pi $
is
$W\Gamma ,P$
-regular if: for all weights t of
$\pi $
and all
$w \in W_P \Gamma _P D_+^{P,P}$
,
$w t$
is not a weight of
$\pi $
, where
This notion relates to standard
${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules in the following ways (Proposition 4.8).
-
• Suppose that an irreducible tempered ${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\tau $
is twisted by a weight t in positive position for
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
. Then
$\tau \otimes t$
is
$W,P$
-regular. -
• Suppose that an irreducible tempered ${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\tau $
is twisted by a weight t in negative position for
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
. Then
$(\tau \otimes t) \circ \psi _{\Delta P}^{-1}$
is a
$W,P^{op}$
-regular
${\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}$
-representation.
Theorem D (see Theorem 4.7 and Section 8)
Let
$P \subset \Delta $
and let
$\pi $
be an irreducible representation of
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
.
-
(a) Suppose that $\pi $
is
$W\Gamma ,P$
-regular. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{ {\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\pi )$
has a unique irreducible quotient, namely
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]}(\pi )$
modulo the kernel of the intertwining operator associated to
$(w_\Delta w_P,P,\pi )$
. -
(b) Suppose that $\pi \circ \psi _{\Delta P}^{-1}$
is
$W\Gamma ,P^{op}$
-regular. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]}(\pi )$
has a unique irreducible subrepresentation, namely the image of the intertwining operator associated to
$(w_P w_\Delta ,P^{op},\pi \circ \psi _{\Delta P}^{-1})$
.
Genericity of representations
For quasi-split reductive p-adic groups, the notion of genericity is well-known. For irreducible representations it is equivalent to the existence of a Whittaker model. It is especially useful for the normalization of intertwining operators, for
$\gamma $
-factors via the Langlands–Shahidi method and to select one member from an L-packet in the local Langlands correspondence.
For arbitrary connected reductive p-adic groups, a similar definition of genericity is available [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4]. In that generality it is convenient to consider representations which are simply generic, meaning that the multiplicity one property of Whittaker functionals holds by assumption.
For (extended) affine Hecke algebras no independent definition of genericity was known, so we provide one. The elements
$T_w$
with
$w \in W \Gamma $
span a finite dimensional subalgebra
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \rtimes \Gamma $
of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. Let
$\det _X$
be the determinant of the action of
$W \Gamma $
on the lattice X. The Steinberg representation of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \rtimes \Gamma $
has dimension one and is defined by St
$(T_w) = \det _X (w)$
. We say that a representation
$\pi $
of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
is generic if its restriction to
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \rtimes \Gamma $
contains St. This definition is justified by the following result.
Theorem E (see Proposition 6.2 and Theorem A.1)
Let G be a connected reductive group over a non-archimedean local field. Let
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
be a Bernstein block of smooth complex G-representations, such that the underlying supercuspidal representations are simply generic.
-
(a) $\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is equivalent to the module category of an extended affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
with parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
. -
(b) With the normalizations from [Reference Solleveld35, §2], the equivalence $\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s} \cong \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma )$
preserves genericity.
For affine Hecke algebras with q-parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
, one can hope for a version of the generalized injectivity conjecture. Using our previous findings in the representation theory of Hecke algebras, we take some steps in that direction.
By definition the maximal commutative subalgebra
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
of
${\mathcal {H}}$
is the unique minimal parabolic subalgebra of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. The basis
$\Delta $
of R determines a positive cone in
$\mathrm {Hom} (X,\mathbb R_{>0})$
.
Theorem F (see Propositions 7.6 and 8.6)
Let
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
be an extended affine Hecke algebra with q-parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
.
-
(a) For $t \in \mathrm {Hom} (X,{\mathbb {C}}^\times )$
, the parabolically induced representation
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
has a unique generic constituent, say
$\pi _t$
. -
(b) When $|t|$
lies in the closure of the positive cone in
$\mathrm {Hom} (X,\mathbb R_{>0})$
,
$\pi _t$
is a subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
. -
(c) When $|t^{-1}|$
lies in the closure of the positive cone in
$\mathrm {Hom} (X,\mathbb R_{>0})$
,
$\pi _t$
is a quotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
.
In spite of this result, the generalized injectivity conjecture does not always hold for standard
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representations that are induced from parabolic subalgebras other than
$\mathcal A$
, see Example 7.7. The problem seems to be that arbitrary q-parameters (in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
) offer too much freedom. We expect that the generalized injectivity conjecture does hold for affine Hecke algebras
${\mathcal {H}}$
whose q-parameters come from reductive p-adic groups. To all appearances such q-parameters are geometric in the sense of [Reference Solleveld33, §5.3], so that algebro-geometric techniques to study representations of such Hecke algebras are available.
1 Preliminaries
We fix notations and recall a few basic notions about affine Hecke algebras. For more background we refer to [Reference Lusztig20, Reference Opdam23, Reference Solleveld33].
Let R be a root system with basis
$\Delta $
and positive roots
$R^+$
. Let
$\mathcal R = (X,R,Y,R^\vee ,\Delta )$
be a based root datum. It yields a Weyl group
$W = W(R)$
, with set of simple reflections
$S = \{ s_\alpha : \alpha \in \Delta \}$
. For
$\alpha \in R$
such that
$\alpha ^\vee \in R^\vee $
is maximal with respect to
$\Delta ^\vee $
, we define the simple affine reflection
Then
$S_{\mathrm {aff}} := S \cup \{ s^{\prime }_\alpha : \alpha ^\vee \in R^\vee _{\mathrm {max}} \}$
is a set of Coxeter generators for the affine Weyl group
It is a normal subgroup of the extended affine Weyl group
$W(\mathcal R) = W \ltimes X$
. The length function
$\ell $
of
$W_{\mathrm {aff}}$
extends naturally to
$W \ltimes X$
. Moreover the set of length zero elements
$\Omega = \{ w \in W \ltimes X : \ell (w) = 0 \}$
is a group and
We fix
$q \in \mathbb R_{>1}$
and we let
$\lambda , \lambda ^* : R \to \mathbb R$
be functions such that
-
• if $\alpha , \beta \in R$
are in the same W-orbit, then
$\lambda (\alpha ) = \lambda (\beta )$
and
$\lambda ^* (\alpha ) = \lambda ^* (\beta )$
; -
• if $\alpha ^\vee \notin 2Y$
, then
$\lambda ^* (\alpha ) = \lambda (\alpha )$
.
To every simple (affine) reflection we associate a q-parameter, by
The Iwahori–Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} (W_{\mathrm {aff}}, \lambda , \lambda ^*, q)$
can be presented as the vector space with basis
$\{ N_w : w \in W_{\mathrm {aff}} \}$
and multiplication rules (for
$w \in W_{\mathrm {aff}}$
and
$s \in S_{\mathrm {aff}}$
)
Notice that
$q_s^{1/2}$
is unambiguous, because
$q_s \in \mathbb R_{>0}$
. The conjugation action of
$\Omega $
on
$W_{\mathrm {aff}}$
induces an action on
${\mathcal {H}} (W_{\mathrm {aff}},\lambda ,\lambda ^*,q)$
. That enables us to construct the affine Hecke algebra
which has a vector space basis
$\{ N_w : w \in W \ltimes X\}$
. This is a version of the Iwahori–Matsumoto presentation of
${\mathcal {H}} (\mathcal R,\lambda ,\lambda ^*,q)$
. More common, and already used in [Reference Iwahori and Matsumoto17], is the same presentation expressed in terms of the basis
$\{ T_w : w \in W \ltimes X\}$
, where
$T_s = q_s^{1/2} N_s$
for
$s \in S_{\mathrm {aff}}$
.
There is another well-known presentation, due to Bernstein. To that end, we define elements
$\theta _x \; (x \in X)$
by the following recipe. If
$x = x_1 - x_2$
where
$\langle x_1, \alpha ^\vee \rangle \geq 0$
and
${\langle x_2, \alpha ^\vee \rangle \geq 0}$
for all
$\alpha \in \Delta $
, then
$\theta _x = N_{x_1} N_{x_2}^{-1}$
.
The set
$\{ \theta _x : x \in X\}$
spans a commutative subalgebra
$\mathcal A$
of
${\mathcal {H}}$
, canonically isomorphic with
${\mathbb {C}} [X]$
. Let
${\mathcal {H}} (W, q^\lambda )$
be the Iwahori–Hecke algebra of W, with respect to the parameter function
$q^\lambda : R \to \mathbb R_{>0}$
. According to Bernstein, the multiplication maps
are bijections. The cross relations for multiplication of elements of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
and of
$\mathcal A$
can be described explicitly. It follows from those relations that the centre of
${\mathcal {H}}$
is
$\mathcal A^W$
, where W acts on
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
via its canonical action on X.
For a set of simple roots
$P \subset \Delta $
we have a parabolic subrootsystem
$R_P \subset R$
and a parabolic subgroup
$W_P = W(R_P)$
. The parabolic subalgebra
${\mathcal {H}}^P \subset {\mathcal {H}}$
is generated by
$\mathcal A$
and the
$N_w$
with
$w \in W_P$
. One can identify
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
with
${\mathcal {H}} (X, R_P, Y, R_P^\vee , P, \lambda , \lambda ^*, q)$
. In particular
${\mathcal {H}}^\emptyset = \mathcal A$
and
${\mathcal {H}}^\Delta = {\mathcal {H}}$
.
We write
$T = \mathrm {Hom}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X,{{\mathbb {C}}}^\times )$
, this is a complex torus. It has subtori
where
$P^{\vee \perp } = \{x \in X : \langle x, \alpha ^\vee \rangle = 0 \; \forall \alpha \in P \}$
. Any
$t \in T^P$
gives rise to an algebra automorphism
For an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\pi $
and
$t \in T^P$
we write
$\pi \otimes t = \pi \circ \psi _t$
.
We define a conjugate-linear involution * on
${\mathcal {H}}$
by
Here we need
$q_s \in \mathbb R_{>0}$
for all
$s \in S_{\mathrm {aff}}$
. We can regard * as an
$\mathbb R$
-linear isomorphism from
${\mathcal {H}}$
to its opposite algebra. This involution interacts well with the trace
Namely, the formula
defines an inner product on
${\mathcal {H}}$
, linear in the first variable. The set
$\{ N_w : w \in W (\mathcal R)\}$
is an orthonormal basis of
${\mathcal {H}}$
with this inner product. We note that (1.4) makes the left regular representation of
${\mathcal {H}}$
pre-unitary (i.e.a *-representation on an inner product space that need not be complete):
The parabolic subalgebra
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
has its own involution
$*_P$
, which usually differs from
$* |_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}$
. In fact
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
is typically not a *-subalgebra of
${\mathcal {H}}$
. Let
$w_P$
be the longest element of
$W_P$
. Recall that
$w_P$
has order two and that the set of positive roots made negative by
$w_P$
is precisely
$R_P^+$
. We will abbreviate
$w_{\Delta ,P} = w_\Delta w_P$
, an element that makes precisely the set of positive roots
$R^+ \setminus R_P^+$
negative and has inverse
By [Reference Opdam22, Proposition 1.12]:
For
$P = \emptyset $
we get
$w_\emptyset = 1$
, so
$*_\emptyset (\theta _x) = \theta _{-x}$
.
For a subset
$\tilde W \subset W$
, let
${\mathcal {H}} (\tilde W)$
be the linear subspace of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
spanned by
$\{ N_w : w \in \tilde W\}$
. Let
be the set of shortest length representatives for
$W / W_P$
. By (1.2) the multiplication map
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P) \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}$
is a linear bijection. In particular every
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}$
can be written as
The next result is analogous to [Reference Barbasch and Moy3, Proposition 1.4] for graded Hecke algebras.
Lemma 1.1.
$(h^*)^P_e = (h^P_e)^{*_P}$
for all
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}$
.
Proof. By conjugate-linearity it suffices to consider h of the form
$N_w \theta _x$
with
$w \in W$
and
$x \in X$
. From (1.7) we see that
We recall from [Reference Humphreys16, §1.8] that
By definition of the multiplication in
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
:
For a simple reflection
$s \in W$
,
$N_s^{-1} = N_s + (q_s^{-1/2} - q_s^{1/2}) N_e$
. That and the multiplication relations in the Bernstein presentation of
${\mathcal {H}}$
[Reference Lusztig20, §3] show that
We denote the Bruhat order on W by
$\leq $
. Applying (1.11) recursively, (1.10) can be expressed as
$N_{w_\Delta } \sum _{v \in W , v \leq w w_\Delta } N_v^{-1} a_v$
for suitable
$a_v \in \mathcal A$
. By (1.9) that equals
$\sum _{v \in W ,v \leq w w_\Delta } N_{w_\Delta v^{-1}} a_v$
. Here
$v^{-1} \leq w_\Delta w^{-1}$
, so
$w_\Delta v^{-1} \geq w^{-1}$
.
Suppose that
$w \notin W_P$
. Any reduced expression of
$w^{-1}$
contains simple reflections not in
$W_P$
, so the same goes for
$w_\Delta v^{-1}$
with v as above. Hence
$w_\Delta v^{-1} \notin W_P$
, and it can be written as
$u w'$
with
$u \in W^P \setminus \{e\}$
and
$w' \in W_P$
. Thus
$N_{w_\Delta v^{-1}} a_v \in N_u {\mathcal {H}}^P$
. That works for every
$v \leq w w_\Delta $
, showing that (1.10) lies in
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P \setminus \! \{e\}) {\mathcal {H}}^P$
. In other words,
$(h^*)^P_e = 0$
.
Suppose that
$w \in W_P$
. We need to show that
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P \setminus \! \{e\}) {\mathcal {H}}^P$
contains
With (1.9) we rewrite this element as
Reasoning as above we find
Here
$w_\Delta v^{-1} \geq w_P$
, so this only belongs to
$W_P$
if
$v = w_{P,\Delta }$
. From (1.11) one obtains
Then (1.12) reduces to
The same argument as in the case
$w \notin W_P$
shows that this lies in
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P \setminus \! \{e\}) {\mathcal {H}}^P$
.
2 Hermitian duals
For any complex vector space V, let
$V^\dagger $
be space of conjugate-linear functions from V to
${\mathbb {C}}$
. In case V has a topology, it is understood that
$V^\dagger $
consists of the continuous conjugate-linear functionals on V. If
$(\pi , V_\pi )$
is an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation, then
${\mathcal {H}}$
acts on
$V_\pi ^\dagger $
by
This defines the Hermitian dual
$(\pi ^\dagger , V_\pi ^\dagger )$
of the
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
. For any
$(\rho ,V_\rho ) \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}})$
there is a conjugate-linear ‘transposition’ isomorphism
Here
$\phi ^\dagger $
sends
$w \in V_\rho $
to
$[v \mapsto \overline {\phi (v) w}]$
with
$v \in V_\pi $
.
Sometimes a representation is isomorphic to its Hermitian dual. For example, suppose that
$V_\pi $
is a Hilbert space and that the representation
$\pi $
is unitary:
Then
$(\pi ^\dagger ,V_\pi ^\dagger )$
can be identified with
$(\pi , V_\pi )$
via the inner product.
Consider the left regular representation of
${\mathcal {H}}$
and its Hermitian dual
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
. The bimodule structure on
${\mathcal {H}}$
makes
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
into an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-bimodule, with
By (2.2) we have
The functor
$\dagger $
on the category of
${\mathbb {C}}$
-vector spaces is exact, so
$\mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}}}(?,{\mathcal {H}}^\dagger )$
is an exact functor. In other words,
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
is an injective left
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module. Via the inner product on
${\mathcal {H}}$
, we can identify
The multiplication on
${\mathcal {H}}$
extends to an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-bimodule structure on
$\prod \nolimits _{w \in W(\mathcal R)} {\mathbb {C}} N_w$
, which contains
${\mathcal {H}} = \bigoplus _{w \in W(\mathcal R)} {\mathbb {C}} N_w$
as a sub-bimodule. Let us identify
$\phi \in {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
with
${\tilde \phi \in \prod \nolimits _{w \in W(\mathcal R)} {\mathbb {C}} N_w}$
via the inner product. Then (2.3) becomes
Comparing (2.3) and (2.5), we see that (2.4) is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-bimodules. We will often use (2.4) as a presentation of
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
.
The module
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
enables us to describe Hermitian duals of modules induced from
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
. We recall that, as
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
is finite dimensional and semisimple, all its irreducible modules appear in the (left) regular representation. In fact each irreducible module is the image of a suitable minimal idempotent.
Lemma 2.1.
-
(a) Let $V \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ))$
be irreducible, and let
$p_V \in {\mathcal {H}}(W,q^\lambda )$
be an idempotent so that
$V \cong {\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) p_V$
. The Hermitian dual of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
is
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} V^\dagger $
, with the pairing $$\begin{align*}\langle h_1 \otimes p_V^*, h_2 \otimes p_V \rangle = \tau (h_1 p_V^* h_2^* ) \qquad h_1 \in {\mathcal{H}}^\dagger, h_2 \in {\mathcal{H}}. \end{align*}$$
-
(b) The functor ${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} : \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )) \to \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}})$
is right adjoint to the restriction functor
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )}$
.
Proof. (a) The
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
-module
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) p_V^*$
is the Hermitian dual of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) p_V$
, with respect to the pairing
We note that
${\mathcal {H}}(W,q^\lambda ) p_V$
is a direct summand of the left regular representation of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
, with complement
${\mathcal {H}}(W,q^\lambda ) (1 - p_V)$
. Applying
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W, q^\lambda )}^{{\mathcal {H}}}$
yields
We pass to Hermitian dual modules and obtain
Hence the Hermitian dual of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )}^{{\mathcal {H}}} {\mathcal {H}}(W,q^\lambda ) p_V$
is
The pairing comes from the pairing between
${\mathcal {H}}$
and (2.6):
for
$h_1 \in {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
and
$h_2 \in {\mathcal {H}}$
. (b) Mod
$({\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ))$
is only involved via functors that respect (infinite) direct sums. Further
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
is finite dimensional semisimple, so it suffices to consider its irreducible modules. They are all of the form
$V^\dagger $
, for some irreducible
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
-module V. Let
$Y \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}})$
. With part (a), (2.2) and Frobenius reciprocity we compute
The relation between Hermitian duals and tensoring with characters can be described easily:
Lemma 2.2. Let
$(\pi , V_\pi )$
be an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation and let
$t \in T^P$
. The Hermitian dual of
$\pi \otimes t$
is
$\pi ^\dagger \otimes \bar {t}^{-1}$
.
Proof. Take
$v \in V_\pi , \lambda \in V_\pi ^\dagger , w \in W_P$
and
$x \in X$
. With (1.7) we compute
This shows that
$(\pi \otimes t)^\dagger = \pi ^\dagger \otimes \overline {w_P t}^{-1}$
. But
$w_P t = t$
because
$w_P \in W(R_P)$
and
$t \in \mathrm {Hom}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X / X \cap \mathbb Q P, {\mathbb {C}}^\times )$
.
We want to find the relation between parabolic induction (from
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
to
${\mathcal {H}}$
) and Hermitian duals. That will be achieved in a few steps, the first of which is making the relation between
$*$
and
$*_P$
explicit.
Lemma 2.3. For
$w \in W_P$
and
$x \in X$
:
Proof. By definition, as
$w \in W_P$
:
From (1.7) and the anti-homomorphism property of * we obtain
We note that here the lengths of the involved elements of W add up:
Therefore
$N_{w_P} N_{w_{P,\Delta }} = N_{w_\Delta }$
, and the right-hand side of (2.7) simplifies to
$N_{w_{P,\Delta }} \theta _{w_{\Delta ,P} (x)} N_{w_{P,\Delta }}^{-1}$
, proving the statement for
$\theta _x$
.
To conclude, we use that
$* \, *_P$
is an algebra homomorphism.
For
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}^\times $
, let
$\mathfrak c_h : {\mathcal {H}} \to {\mathcal {H}}$
denote conjugation with h. We define
Since
$* \, *_P$
and
$\mathfrak c_{N_{w_{P,\Delta }}^{-1}}$
are injective algebra homomorphisms, so is
$\psi _{\Delta P}$
. We write
This is a set of simple roots, it may or may not be equal to P. We note that
$w_\Delta w_P w_\Delta = W_{P^{op}}$
. In comparison with reductive groups,
$P^{op}$
replaces the notion of an opposite parabolic subgroup.
Lemma 2.4.
-
(a) For $w \in W_P$
and
$x \in X$
: $$\begin{align*}\psi_{\Delta P} (N_w \theta_x) = N_{w_{\Delta,P} w w_{P,\Delta}} \theta_{w_{\Delta,P} (x)}. \end{align*}$$
-
(b) $\psi _{\Delta P}$
is an *-algebra isomorphism from
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
to
${\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}$
, with inverse
$\psi _{\Delta P^{op}}$
.
Proof. (a) Consider the algebra isomorphism
Then
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} : {\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}} \to {\mathcal {H}}$
is an injective algebra homomorphism, and by Lemma 2.3:
Notice that
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }}$
is the identity on
$\mathcal A$
and sends
${\mathcal {H}} ( W_{P^{op}}, q^\lambda )$
bijectively to itself. For
$\alpha \in P^{op}$
,
$N_{s_\alpha }$
commutes with the same elements of
$\mathcal A$
as
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} (N_{s_\alpha })$
. That forces
Furthermore
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} (N_{s_\alpha })$
has the same eigenvalues
$q_{s_\alpha }^{1/2}$
and
$-q_{s_\alpha }^{-1/2}$
as
$N_{s_\alpha }$
, so it can only be
$N_{s_\alpha }$
or
$-N_{s_\alpha }^{-1}$
. The involved constructions work for any
$q \in \mathbb R_{>0}$
, and depend continuously on q. For
$q=1$
we see directly from (2.9) that
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} (N_{s_\alpha }) = N_{s_\alpha }$
. Hence
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} (N_{s_\alpha })$
cannot be
$-N_{s_\alpha }^{-1}$
for any
$q \in \mathbb R_{>0}$
.
We deduce that
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} (N_{w'}) = N_{w'}$
for
$w'$
any simple reflection in
$W_{P^{op}}$
, and then the same follows for all
$w' \in W_{P^{op}}$
. Apply that to
$w' = w_{\Delta ,P} w w_{P,\Delta }$
. (b) By part (a) and (2.9),
$\psi _{\Delta P} \circ \psi _{w_{P,\Delta }}$
is the identity on
${\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}$
. As
$\psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} : {\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}} \to {\mathcal {H}}^P$
is an isomorphism, this shows that
$\psi _{\Delta P}$
is its inverse. By construction
$w_{P^{op}} = w_\Delta w_P w_\Delta $
. From that, part (a) and (2.8) we see that
$\psi _{w_{P,\Delta }} = \psi _{\Delta P^{op}}$
.
Further, from (2.8) and the definition of
$\theta _x$
we obtain
This shows that
$\psi _{w_{P,\Delta }}$
is in fact a *-isomorphism, and hence so is its inverse.
Now we can relate Hermitian duals and parabolic restriction.
Proposition 2.5. Let
$(\pi , V_\pi )$
be an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation.
-
(a) The Hermitian dual of the ${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}(\pi )$
is isomorphic with
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}} (\pi ^\dagger ) \circ \psi _{\Delta P}$
. -
(b) $\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (\pi ^\dagger ) \cong \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}(\pi )^\dagger \circ \psi _{\Delta P}$
.
Proof. By definition
Since
$N_{w_{P,\Delta }} \in {\mathcal {H}}^\times $
, multiplication with
$\pi ^\dagger (N^{-1}_{w_{P,\Delta }})$
provides an isomorphism from the right-hand side to
$\pi ^\dagger \circ \psi _{\Delta P}$
. By Lemma 2.4.b, that can be regarded as
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}} (\pi ^\dagger ) \circ \psi _{\Delta P}$
. (b) Start with part (a) for
$P^{op}$
. Composing the representations on both sides with
${\psi _{\Delta P^{op}}^{-1} = \psi _{\Delta P}}$
gives
We note that the pairing underlying Proposition 2.5.a is
Similarly the pairing underlying Proposition 2.5.b is given by
An important special case arises when
$P = \emptyset $
. Then
$\psi _{\Delta \emptyset } (\theta _x) = \theta _{w_\Delta (x)}$
and Proposition 2.5 provides isomorphisms
We move on to parabolic induction. Consider an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$(\rho ,V_\rho )$
and its induction
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\rho )$
. The underlying vector space is
Here
$W^P = \{w \in W : w(P) \subset R^+ \}$
denotes the set of shortest length representatives for
$W / W_P$
and
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P)$
is the linear subspace of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
spanned by the corresponding
$N_w$
. Following [Reference Opdam23, (4.24)] we define a sesquilinear pairing
As preparation for a more general statement, we consider the left regular representation of
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
. Clearly
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} ({\mathcal {H}}^P) = {\mathcal {H}}$
, and we already know
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
from (2.4). Multiplication in
${\mathcal {H}}$
induces a linear bijection
$m : {\mathcal {H}} (W^P) \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}$
. The transpose of m is the linear bijection
In the middle of (2.12) we identified
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P)^\dagger $
with
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P)$
via the inner product on
${\mathcal {H}}$
. Notice that
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
and
${\mathcal {H}} \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}}^P} {\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger }$
independently carry
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module structures, the latter induced from the
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-module structure of
${\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger }$
.
Lemma 2.6. The map
$m^\dagger : {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \to \mathrm {ind}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ({\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger })$
is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules. In particular
$\mathrm {ind}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ({\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger })$
with the pairing (2.11) is the Hermitian dual of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
.
Proof. Let
$a,b \in W^P, h_1 \in {\mathcal {H}}^P$
and
$\lambda \in {\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger }$
. For
$h_2 \in {\mathcal {H}}$
there are elements
We can compare them by pairing
$N_b \otimes {\mathcal {H}} (W^P) \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P$
, as in (2.11). In the notation from (1.8), we compute
We note that, for any
$w \in W_P, v \in W^P$
:
This implies
With that the right-hand side of (2.13) can be rewritten as
On the other hand
Using (2.15) we identify the last expression in (2.17) with
Lemma 1.1 guarantees that this equals (2.16), which proves that the bijection
$m^\dagger $
is an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module homomorphism.
By construction
$m^{-1} : {\mathcal {H}} \to {\mathcal {H}} (W^P) \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P$
and
$m^\dagger $
transfer the pairing between
${\mathcal {H}}$
and
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
to the pairing (2.11). Thus we have realized
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger = \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}({\mathcal {H}}^P)^\dagger $
as
$\mathrm {ind}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ({\mathcal {H}}^{P\dagger })$
.
In the special case
$P = \emptyset $
, Lemma 2.6 provides an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules
Here the embedding of
$\mathcal A^\dagger \cong \prod _{x \in X} {\mathbb {C}} \{x\}$
in
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
comes from (2.12):
The next result generalizes [Reference Opdam22, Theorem 2.20] and [Reference Opdam23, Proposition 4.19].
Proposition 2.7. Let
$(\rho ,V_\rho )$
be an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation. The pairing (2.11) induces an isomorphism
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\rho ^\dagger ) \cong \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\rho )^\dagger $
.
Proof. We abbreviate
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}$
to ind for the duration of this proof.
Recall that
$\{ N_w : w \in W \}$
is an orthonormal basis of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
for the inner product (1.4). Hence
${\mathcal {H}} (W^P)^\dagger \cong {\mathcal {H}} (W^P)$
and (2.11) identifies
It remains to show that
for all
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}, x \in \mathrm {ind} (V_\rho ^\dagger ), y \in \mathrm {ind} (V_\rho )$
.
Choose a surjective
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$p : F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P \to V_\rho $
, where
$F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P$
is a free
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-module. Dually, that yields an injective
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$p^\dagger : V_\rho ^\dagger \to (F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P )^\dagger $
. For
$\lambda \in V_\rho ^\dagger $
and
$v \in V_\rho $
with a preimage
$\tilde v \in F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P$
that means
With the functoriality of induction we obtain a surjective
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphism
and an injective
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphism
Now we encounter the minor complication that it is difficult to work with
$(F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P)^\dagger $
when F has infinite dimension. We overcome that by playing it via finitely generated submodules. Choose a finite dimensional linear subspace
$F_y \subset F$
and
$\tilde y \in F_y \otimes {\mathcal {H}}$
such that
It follows from Lemma 2.6 that
where the
${\mathcal {H}}$
-invariant pairing with
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} ( F_y \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P )$
is given by (2.11) and the pairing between
$F_y$
and
$F_y^\dagger $
. The transpose of the inclusion
$i_y : F_y \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P \to F \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P$
is the projection
To these maps we can also apply ind. In that way (2.20) can be evaluated via the pairing of
$\mathrm {ind} (F_y \otimes {\mathcal {H}}^P)$
with
$\mathrm {ind} \big ( F_y^\dagger \otimes ({\mathcal {H}}^P )^\dagger \big )$
determined by (2.11). More explicitly:
By (2.21) the right-hand side equals
This establishes (2.20).
3 Second adjointness
For affine Hecke algebras the standard adjointness for parabolic induction reads
This can be regarded as an instance of Frobenius reciprocity or of Hom-tensor duality (since
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (V_\rho ) = {\mathcal {H}} \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}}^P} V_\rho $
). In terms of reductive p-adic groups, normalized parabolic induction and normalized Jacquet restriction, (3.1) corresponds to Bernstein’s second adjointness:
where
$\sigma \in \mathrm {Rep} (M), \tau \in \mathrm {Rep} (G)$
and
$P, \overline {P}$
are opposite parabolic subgroups of G with
$P \cap \overline {P} = M$
. The comparison between the two settings stems from [Reference Bushnell and Kutzko5, Corollary 8.4], but one needs some modifications that lead to [Reference Solleveld32, Condition 4.1]. By analogy, the first adjointness for p-adic groups (i.e. Frobenius reciprocity)
should have a counterpart for affine Hecke algebras. In other words, we may expect that some form of parabolic restriction is left adjoint to some form of parabolic induction. By Frobenius reciprocity for co-induced modules:
where
${\mathcal {H}}$
acts on
$\mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ({\mathcal {H}}, \pi )$
via right multiplication on
${\mathcal {H}}$
. However, (3.4) is not yet satisfactory because it does not provide a left adjoint for parabolic induction.
For p-adic groups, one way to prove the second adjointness relation is via contragredients and Jacquet modules, see [Reference Renard25, §VI.9.6]. For graded Hecke algebras, a similar proof works with Hermitian duals instead of contragredients [Reference Barbasch and Ciubotaru2, Lemma 3.8.1]. We follow the latter.
Theorem 3.1. Let
$P \subset \Delta $
and recall that
$P^{op} = w_\Delta (-P)$
.
-
(a) The right adjoint of $\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}$
is
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}^{{\mathcal {H}}} \circ \psi _{\Delta P *}$
. -
(b) The left adjoint of $\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}$
is
$\psi _{\Delta P}^* \circ \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}$
.
Proof. (a) Let
$(\pi , V_\pi ) \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}})$
and
$(\rho , V_\rho ) \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
. By the transposition isomorphism (2.2) and Proposition 2.5
We know from Lemma 2.4 that
$\psi _{\Delta P} : {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}$
is invertible, so that the right-hand side of (3.5) becomes isomorphic with
Now we apply Frobenius reciprocity in the form (3.1) and again the transposition isomorphism:
Using Proposition 2.7, we identify that with
The first isomorphism in (3.5) and the second in (3.7) are conjugate-linear. The other isomorphisms above are complex linear, so the composition of (3.5)–(3.8) is again a complex linear bijection. That proves the desired adjointness relation for
$(\pi , \rho ' = \rho ^\dagger )$
, so whenever
$\rho '$
is the Hermitian dual of some
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-module. The same argument as in the analogous situation for reductive p-adic groups [Reference Renard25, p. 232] shows why that implies part (a) for all
$(\pi , \rho ')$
. (b) Reverse the roles of P and
$P^{op}$
and apply part (a) with
$\rho ' = \psi _{\Delta P}^* (\rho ) = \rho \circ \psi _{\Delta P}$
. That gives isomorphisms
Left composition with
$\psi _{\Delta P}^{-1}$
on both terms of the right-hand side makes this isomorphic with
$\mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P}} \big ( \psi _{\Delta P}^* \, \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}} (\pi ), \rho ' \big )$
.
Next we discuss a topic related to second adjointness, namely expressions for parabolic induction followed by parabolic restriction. In the setting of reductive p-adic groups this is known as Bernstein’s geometric lemma [Reference Renard25, §VI.5.1]. A version for affine Hecke algebras should provide a filtration of the functor
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}$
. Indeed that was achieved in [Reference Delorme and Opdam10, §11], but formulated only for tempered representations. As we shall use that result also for non-tempered representations, we restate it in larger generality.
Let
$P,Q \subset \Delta $
and let
be the set of shortest length representatives of
$W_P \backslash W / W_Q$
. Each
$d \in W^{P,Q}$
yields a bijection
$d^{-1}(P) \cap Q \to P \cap d(Q)$
and an algebra isomorphism
We choose a total ordering of
$W^{P,Q}$
such that
$\ell : W^{P,Q} \to \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}$
becomes a weakly increasing function. For
$d \in W^{P,Q}$
and an
${\mathcal {H}}^Q$
-representation
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
, we consider the linear subspace
of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (V_\pi )$
. To analyse these subspaces, we need a result of Kilmoyer [Reference Carter6, Theorem 2.7.4]:
Using that, the following is shown in [Reference Delorme and Opdam10, (11.3)–(11.6)]:
Proposition 3.2. For each
$d \in W^{P,Q}$
,
$\big ( \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} \big )_{\leq d} (V_\pi )$
is an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-submodule of
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (V_\pi )$
. There is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-modules
where
$<d$
means
$\leq d'$
for the largest
$d' \in W^{P,Q}$
which is smaller than d.
In other words, we have a filtration of the functor
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}}$
, indexed by
$W^{P,Q}$
and with successive subquotients
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P \cap d(Q)}}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \circ \psi _{d *} \circ \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{d^{-1}(P) \cap Q}}$
.
Notice the analogy with Mackey’s restriction-induction formula for representations of finite groups. From Proposition 3.2 and the two adjunctions, one can derive expressions for the Hom-space between two parabolically induced
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representations.
4 Variations on the Langlands classification
The Langlands classification for a reductive group G over a local field [Reference Langlands19, Reference Renard25] classifies irreducible admissible G-representations in terms of irreducible tempered representations of Levi subgroups of G. The analogous result for affine/graded Hecke algebras can be found in [Reference Evens12, Reference Solleveld31]. Here we want to establish some useful variations, in particular with subrepresentations instead of quotients.
The complex torus T can be identified with the space
$\mathrm {Irr} (\mathcal A)$
of irreducible representations of
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X] = {\mathcal {O}} (T)$
. If
$(\pi , V_\pi )$
is an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation,
$t \in T$
and there exists
$v \in V_\pi \setminus \{0\}$
such that
then t is called an
$\mathcal A$
-weight (or simply weight) of
$\pi $
. We denote the set of
$\mathcal A$
-weights of
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
by Wt
$(\pi )$
or Wt
$(V_\pi )$
. If
$V_\pi $
has finite dimension, then there is a canonical decomposition in generalized
$\mathcal A$
-eigenspaces:
The
$t \in T$
for which
$V_{\pi ,t,\mathrm {gen}} \neq 0$
are precisely the
$\mathcal A$
-weights of
$\pi $
.
Lemma 4.1. Let
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
be a finite dimensional
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation. Then
$\mathrm {Wt}(\pi ^\dagger ) = \big \{ \overline {w_\Delta t}^{-1} : t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi ) \big \}$
.
Proof. Let
$s \in T$
be a weight of
$\pi ^\dagger $
, with an eigenvector
$\lambda \in V_\pi ^\dagger \setminus \{0\}$
. For any
$v \in V, x \in X$
we compute, using (1.7),
Write
$\pi ' = \pi \circ \mathfrak {c}_{N_{w_\Delta }}$
, so that
is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representations. We can rewrite (4.2) as
Equivalently, for each
$x \in X, v \in V_\pi $
the kernel of
$\lambda $
contains
where we abbreviated
$x' = -w_\Delta (x)$
. Thus
$\pi ' \big ( \theta _{x'} - \overline {w_\Delta s}^{-1}(x') \big )$
is not surjective, for any
$x' \in X$
. Since
$V_\pi $
has finite dimension, we can use the decomposition, which shows that
$\overline {w_\Delta s}^{-1}$
is a weight of
$\pi '$
. Via the isomorphism
$\pi ' \cong \pi $
, it is also a weight of
$\pi $
.
Hence
$s \mapsto \overline {w_\Delta s}^{-1}$
maps the weights of
$\pi ^\dagger $
to the weights of
$\pi $
. As
$\dim V_\pi < \infty $
,
$\pi ^{\dagger \dagger } = \pi $
and the same arguments apply with the roles of
$\pi $
and
$\pi ^\dagger $
exchanged. Therefore we have found a bijection between the set of weights of
$\pi ^\dagger $
and of
$\dagger $
, with inverse
$t \mapsto \overline {w_\Delta t}^{-1}$
.
For any
$t \in T$
we have
$|t| \in \mathrm {Hom}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X,\mathbb R_{>0})$
and
$\log |t| \in \mathrm {Hom}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X,\mathbb R) = Y \otimes _{\mathbb {Z}} \mathbb R$
. Given
$P \subset \Delta $
we define the positive cones
The same can be done in
$X \otimes _{\mathbb {Z}} \mathbb R$
, and then taking anti-duals yields the obtuse negative cones
By definition, a finite dimensional
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-module V is tempered if
$|t| \in T_P^-$
for all
$t \in \mathrm {Wt}(V)$
. Similarly we say that V is anti-tempered if
$|t|^{-1} \in T_P^-$
for all
$t \in \mathrm {Wt}(V)$
. These two properties are preserved by taking Hermitian duals:
Lemma 4.2. Let
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
be a finite dimensional
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation. If
$V_\pi $
is tempered (resp. anti-tempered), then
$V_\pi ^\dagger $
is tempered (resp. anti-tempered).
Proof. Since
$-w_\Delta $
stabilizes
$\Delta $
,
$w_{\Delta } s^{-1} \in T^{\Delta -}$
if and only if
$s \in T^{\Delta -}$
. Apply that to
$s = |t|$
(resp.
$s = |t|^{-1}$
) for a weight t of
$V_\pi $
, and use Lemma 4.1.
The following result is an obvious generalization of the Langlands classification for affine Hecke algebras [Reference Evens12, Reference Solleveld31].
Theorem 4.3. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
and
$t \in T^P$
. Suppose that (i) or (ii) holds:
-
(i) $\pi $
is tempered and
$t \in T^{P+}$
, -
(ii) $\pi $
is anti-tempered and
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
.
-
(a) The ${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
has a unique irreducible quotient
$L(P,\pi ,t)$
. It is the unique irreducible subquotient
$\rho $
of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
which admits an injective
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$\pi \otimes t \to \mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (\rho )$
. -
(b) Every irreducible ${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation is of the form
$L(P,\pi ,t)$
, for unique
$(P,\pi ,t)$
as in (i). This also holds with (ii) instead of (i).
Proof. (i) The Langlands classification, as in [Reference Evens12, Theorem 2.1] and [Reference Solleveld31, Theorem 2.2.4], states (a) and (b). Although the characterizing property of
$L(P,\pi ,t)$
is not made explicit in these sources, it plays an important role in [Reference Evens12, §2.7] and in [Reference Solleveld31, proof of Theorem 2.2.4.a]. (ii) The same proof as for (i) applies, when we rewrite all the arguments in
$Y \otimes _{\mathbb {Z}} \mathbb R$
with respect to
$-\Delta $
instead of
$\Delta $
.
An
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
as in Theorem 4.3.i is called a standard module, and
$L(P,\pi ,t)$
is called its Langlands quotient. With the usage of Hermitian duals, we can deduce a version of Theorem 4.3 in terms of ‘Langlands’ subrepresentations.
Proposition 4.4. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
and
$t \in T^P$
. Suppose that (i) or (ii) holds:
-
(i) $\pi $
is tempered and
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
, -
(ii) $\pi $
is anti-tempered and
$t \in T^{P+}$
.
-
(a) The ${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
has a unique irreducible subrepresentation, which we call the Langlands subrepresentation
$\tilde {L}(P,\pi ,t)$
. It is the unique irreducible subquotient
$\sigma $
of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
that admits a surjective
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$\mathrm {Res}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\sigma ) \circ \psi _{\Delta P} \to \pi \otimes t$
. -
(b) Every irreducible ${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation is of the form
$\tilde {L}(P,\pi ,t)$
for unique
$(P,\pi ,t)$
as in (i). This also holds with (ii) instead of (i).
Proof. We assume (i). The proof when (ii) holds is completely analogous, only using the other assumption in Theorem 4.3. (a) By Proposition 2.7 and Lemma 2.2
Here
$\bar t = t$
because it is real-valued, and we know from Lemma 4.2 that
$\pi ^\dagger $
is tempered. Theorem 4.3.a says that (4.3) has a unique irreducible quotient
$L(P,\pi ^\dagger ,t^{-1})$
, which can be characterized by the existence of an injection
Passing to Hermitian duals and using (2.2), we find that
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
has a unique irreducible subrepresentation
$\sigma \cong L(P,\pi ^\dagger ,t^{-1})^\dagger $
. Via Proposition 2.5.a, the characterizing property becomes a surjection
$\mathrm {Res}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\sigma ) \circ \psi _{\Delta P} \to \pi \otimes t$
. (b) Let
$\tau \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}})$
. With Theorem 4.3.b we write
$\tau ^\dagger \cong L(P,\pi ,t)$
for suitable
$P \subset \Delta $
, tempered
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
and
$t \in T^{P+}$
. Then (2.2) gives an injection
From the proof of part (a) we know that the right-hand side is isomorphic with
${\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t^{-1})}$
, where
$(P,\pi ,t^{-1})$
is as in (i). Then part (a) says
$\tau \cong \tilde L (P,\pi ,t^{-1})$
. The uniqueness in Theorem 4.3.b implies the uniqueness of
$(P,\pi ,t^{-1})$
.
We would like to express the unique Langlands quotient or subrepresentation from Theorem 4.3 and Proposition 4.4 as the coimage or image of a suitable intertwining operator. To that end we establish the uniqueness (up to scalars) of those operators.
Lemma 4.5. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
and assume that the W-stabilizer of t is contained in
$W_P$
for all
$t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
. Then
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
is a direct sum of
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representations
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P \cap d(Q)}}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (\psi _{d *} \psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
with
$d \in W^{P,Q}$
, whose sets of
$Z({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
-weights are mutually disjoint.
Proof. From Proposition 3.2.c we know that
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
has a filtration with successive subquotients
By construction
$\mathrm {Wt}(\psi _{d *} \psi _{\gamma *} \pi ) = d \gamma \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
, and with [Reference Opdam23, Proposition 4.20] we obtain
Equivalently, the set of
$Z({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
-weights of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P \cap d(Q)}}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (\psi _{d *} \psi _{\gamma *} \, \pi )$
is contained in
$W_P d \gamma \mathrm {Wt}(\pi ) / W_P$
. Suppose that
$d,d' \in W^{P,Q}, t, t' \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
and
Pick
$w_1,w_2 \in W_P$
such that
$w_1 d \gamma t = w_2 d' \gamma t'$
. By the irreducibility of
$\pi $
, t and
$t'$
belong to the same
$W_P$
-orbit. Furthermore we assumed
$W_t \subset W_P$
, so
From that we obtain
$\gamma ^{-1} d^{-1} w_1^{-1} w_2 d' \gamma \in W_P$
and
We note that now
$w_1^{-1} w_2 d' \in W_P d' \cap d W_Q$
. As
$W^{P,Q}$
represents
$W_P \backslash W / W_Q$
, this shows that
$d' = d$
.
Thus, for different
$d,d' \in W^{P,Q}$
the
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representations (4.4) have disjoint sets of
$\mathcal A$
-weights and disjoint sets of
$Z({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
-weights. In particular every extension of one of these modules by the other is a trivial extension. It follows that the aforementioned filtration of
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
actually splits, and that
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
is the direct sum of the modules (4.4).
The conditions in Lemma 4.5 are often satisfied, but they do not cover all cases of Theorem 4.3. Inspired by [Reference Renard25, §VII.3.3], we say that an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\pi $
is
$W, P$
-regular if
Let
$P,Q \subset \Delta $
and
$\gamma \in W$
, such that
$\gamma (P) = Q$
. Like in (3.9), there is an algebra isomorphism
$\psi _\gamma : {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}^Q$
.
Lemma 4.6. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
be
$W,\!P$
-regular.
-
(a) $\pi $
has multiplicity one in
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
, and is a direct summand of the latter. -
(b) $\dim \mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}}} \big ( \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi ), \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \, \pi ) \big ) = 1$
.
Proof. (a) The element
$\gamma ^{-1} \in W$
belongs to
$W^{P,Q}$
because
$\gamma ^{-1}(Q) \subset R^+$
and
$\gamma (P) \subset R^+$
. We follow the proof of Lemma 4.5, with
$d' = \gamma ^{-1}$
. This time we cannot conclude (4.6), but our weaker assumption still provides a reasonable substitute. Namely, from
$w_1 d \gamma t = w_2 t'$
we get
$w_2^{-1} w_1 d \gamma t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
, which by the
$W,\!P$
-regularity of
$\pi $
implies
Notice that
$d \gamma (P) = d(Q) \subset R^+$
, which says that
$d \gamma \in W^P$
. By [Reference Carter6, Proposition 2.7.5] we can write
$d \gamma = a \tilde d$
with
$\tilde d \in W^{P,P}$
and
$a \in W_P$
. It follows that
$W_P d \gamma = W_P \tilde d$
. Then (4.8) forces
Hence the representations (4.4) with
$d \neq \gamma ^{-1}$
do not have the central character of
${\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)}$
as
$Z({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
-weight. Like in the proof of Lemma 4.5, this entails that
$\pi $
appears with multiplicity one in
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
, as a direct summand. (b) By Frobenius reciprocity
Now apply part (a).
Lemma 4.6 tells us that, whenever
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
is
$W,\!P$
-regular, there exists a nonzero intertwining operator
unique up to scalars. The
$\Delta P$
-genericity is only a very mild restriction. Namely, for every finite dimensional
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation
$\tau $
there exists a Zariski-open nonempty subset
$T^P_\tau \subset T^P$
such that
$\tau \otimes t$
is
$\Delta P$
-generic for all
$t \in T^P_\tau $
.
The next result and its proof are similar to [Reference Renard25, Théorème VII.4.2].
Theorem 4.7. Let
$P \subset \Delta $
and
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
.
-
(a) Suppose that $\pi $
is
$W,\!P$
-regular. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi )$
has a unique irreducible quotient, namely $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^P}^{{\mathcal{H}}} (\pi) / \ker I (w_{\Delta,P}, P, \pi) \cong \mathrm{im} \, I (w_{\Delta,P}, P, \pi). \end{align*}$$
-
(b) Suppose that $\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P} *} \pi $
is
$W,\!P^{op}$
-regular. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi )$
has a unique irreducible subrepresentation, namely the image of $$\begin{align*}I ( w_{P,\Delta} , P^{op}, \psi_{w_{\Delta,P} *} \pi ) : \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^{P^{op}}}^{{\mathcal{H}}} (\psi_{w_{\Delta,P} *} \pi) \to \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^P}^{{\mathcal{H}}} (\pi). \end{align*}$$
Proof. (a) Let
$\rho $
be any quotient
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi )$
. The quotient map gives a nonzero element of
so
$\pi $
is a subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \rho $
. By Lemma 4.6.a with
$\gamma = e$
,
$\pi $
is a direct summand of
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \rho $
, and appears with multiplicity one. The projection
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P} \rho \to \pi $
and the adjunction from Theorem 3.1.a yield a nonzero
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphism from
$\rho $
to
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\psi _{\Delta P *} \pi )$
. Thus we have
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphisms
Suppose now that
$\rho $
is irreducible. Then the second map in (4.10) is injective, and the first map is surjective by definition, so the composition of the two maps in (4.10) is nonzero. Lemma 4.6.a guarantees that (4.10) is a multiple of
$I(w_{\Delta ,P},P,\pi )$
. In particular
We conclude that
$\rho $
equals
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t) / \ker I(w_{\Delta ,P},P,\pi )$
. (b) Let
$\sigma $
be any subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi )$
. The inclusion map and Theorem 3.1.b give a nonzero element of
In the setting of Lemma 4.6 we take
$P^{op},P,\psi _{\Delta P^{op}},\psi _{\Delta P}\pi $
in the roles of, respectively,
$P,Q,\gamma ,\pi $
. Then Lemma 4.6.a says that
$\psi _{\Delta P *} \pi $
appears with multiplicity one in
as a direct summand. Since
$\psi _{\Delta P} (\pi )$
appears in the subrepresentation
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}} \sigma $
of (4.11), it is also a direct summand thereof. In particular there exists a nonzero element of
Thus we have nonzero
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphisms
Now we assume that
$\sigma $
is irreducible. Then the first map in (4.12) is surjective and the second map is injective, so their composition is nonzero. The same argument as for (4.10) shows that
$\sigma $
is isomorphic to
With Theorem 4.7 and Langlands’ geometric lemmas [Reference Langlands19, §4], we can provide alternative proofs of Theorem 4.3 and Proposition 4.4.
Proposition 4.8. Let
$P \subset \Delta , \pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
and
$t \in T^P$
.
-
(a) Suppose that
-
(i) $\pi $
is tempered and
$t \in T^{P+} \quad $
or -
(ii) $\pi $
is anti-tempered and
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
.
Then $\pi \otimes t$
is
$W,\!P$
-regular and the Langlands quotient
$L(P,\pi \otimes t)$
from Theorem 4.3 equals
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t) / \ker I (w_{\Delta ,P}, P, \pi \otimes t)$
. -
-
(b) Suppose that
-
(iii) $\pi $
is tempered and
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+} \quad $
or -
(iv) $\pi $
is anti-tempered and
$t \in T^{P+}$
.
Then $\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P} *} (\pi \otimes t)$
is
$W,\!P^{op}$
-regular and the Langlands subrepresentation
$\tilde {L}(P,\pi ,t)$
from Proposition 4.4 is the image of
$I \big ( w_{P,\Delta } , P^{op}, \psi _{w_{\Delta ,P} *} (\pi \otimes t) \big )$
. -
Proof. First we establish the regularity in all four cases. (i) Recall from [Reference Langlands19, Lemma 4.4] that every
$\lambda \in Y \otimes _{\mathbb {Z}} \mathbb R$
can be expressed uniquely as
For any
$s \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
we have
Assume that
$w_1 \in W_P, w_2 \in W^{P,P} \setminus \{e\}$
and
$w_1 w_2 s t = s' t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi \otimes t)$
. Then
By [Reference Kriloff and Ram18, p. 38]
$\log |w_1^{-1} s' t|_+ \geq \log |s' t|_+$
by [Reference Kriloff and Ram18, (2.13)]
$\log |w_2 s t|_+ < \log |st|_+$
. Together with (4.13) we obtain
That contradicts (4.13) and hence our assumption is untenable. In other words,
$\pi \otimes t$
is
$W,\!P$
-regular.
(ii) Notice that the proof of (i) only involves root systems and Weyl groups, no Hecke algebras. It can also be applied to the current
$\pi \otimes t$
, when we replace the basis
$\Delta $
of R by
$-\Delta $
.
(iii) As
$\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P}} : {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}^{P^{op}}$
is an isomorphism that respects all the structure of these affine Hecke algebras,
$\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P}}(\pi )$
is tempered and
$w_{\Delta ,P} (t) \in T^{P^{op}}$
. For
$\alpha \in \Delta $
there are equalities
where we used
$t \in T^P$
in the second step. If
$\alpha \in \Delta \setminus P^{op}$
, then
$-w_\Delta \alpha \in \Delta \setminus P$
and (4.15) is strictly positive because
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
. Therefore
$w_{\Delta ,P} (t) \in T^{P^{op}+}$
. Now part (i) says that
is
$W,\!P^{op}$
-regular. (iv) With the same method as for (iii) this can be reduced to part (ii). In the cases (i) and (ii), Theorem 4.7.a says that
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t)$
has a unique irreducible quotient, which moreover has the given shape. In the cases (iii) and (iv) Theorem 4.7.b says that
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t)$
has a unique irreducible subrepresentation, namely the image of the indicated intertwining operator.
5 Comparison with Hermitian duals for reductive p-adic groups
Consider a non-archimedean local field F and a reductive group G over F, connected in the Zariski topology. We briefly call G a reductive p-adic group. As is well-known, affine Hecke algebras often arise from Bernstein blocks in the category Rep
$(G)$
of smooth complex G-representations. In such a situation there are two notions of a Hermitian dual: in Rep
$(G)$
and in the module category of the appropriate affine Hecke algebra. We will show that in many such cases the two Hermitian duals agree.
Let M be a Levi factor of a parabolic subgroup P of G, and let
$\sigma \in \mathrm {Irr} (M)$
be supercuspidal. The inertial equivalence class
$\mathfrak s = [M,\sigma ]_G$
determines a Bernstein block of
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
in
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)$
. By tensoring with a suitable unramified character we may assume that
$\sigma $
is unitary. Then its smooth Hermitian dual
$\sigma ^\dagger $
can be identified with
$\sigma $
itself. It is not hard to show that the smooth Hermitian dual functor stabilizes every Bernstein block in
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)$
, see [Reference Solleveld35, Lemma 2.2].
One way to relate
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
to Hecke algebras stems from [Reference Heiermann13]. Let
$M^1 \subset M$
be the subgroup generated by all compact subgroups of M, and let
$\sigma _1$
be an irreducible subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {Res}^M_{M^1} (\sigma )$
. Let ind denote smooth induction with compact supports, in contrast to Ind, which will denote smooth induction without any support condition.
Then
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s_M} = \mathrm {ind}_{M^1}^M (\sigma _1 )$
is a progenerator of
$\mathrm {Rep} (M)^{\mathfrak s_M}$
, where
$\mathfrak s_M = [M,\sigma ]_M$
. Moreover
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s} = I_P^G \Pi _{\mathfrak s_M}$
is a progenerator of
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
, see [Reference Renard25, §VI.10.1]. Here
$I_P^G : \mathrm {Rep} (M) \to \mathrm {Rep} (G)$
denotes the normalized parabolic induction functor.
As worked out in [Reference Roche26, Theorem 1.8.2.1], there is an equivalence of categories
It is known from [Reference Solleveld34] that
$\mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op}$
is always very similar to an affine Hecke algebra. To stay within the setting of the paper we assume in the remainder of this section:
Condition 5.1.
$\mathrm {Res}^M_{M^1}(\sigma )$
is multiplicity-free and
$\mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op}$
is isomorphic to an affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}}$
with q-parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
, via an isomorphism as in [Reference Heiermann13] or [Reference Solleveld34, §10.2].
This condition and [Reference Solleveld34, §10] imply that
$\mathrm {End}_M (\Pi _{\mathfrak s_M})^{op}$
is isomorphic to the minimal parabolic subalgebra
${\mathcal {H}}^\emptyset \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
of
${\mathcal {H}}$
. The invariant inner product on
$\sigma _1$
induces invariant inner products on
$\mathrm {ind}_{M^1}^M (\sigma _1)$
and on
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}$
[Reference Renard25, §IV.2.3]. The inner product on
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}$
leads to an embedding in
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger $
, which is dense in the sense that no nonzero element of
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger $
is orthogonal to
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}$
. By [Reference Renard25, §III.2.7 and §IV.2.1] there are isomorphisms
The action of
${\mathcal {H}}^{op} = \mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})$
on
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s} = I_P^G \big (\mathrm {ind}_{M^1}^M (\sigma _1) \big ) $
extends to an action on
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger $
in the following way. Write
$v \in \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger $
as a limit of elements
$v_n \in \Pi _{\mathfrak s}$
. For
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}^{op}$
we define
$h \cdot v = \lim _{n \to \infty } h \cdot v_n$
.
Then
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger )$
becomes an
${\mathcal {H}} \times {\mathcal {H}}^{op}$
-module with action
Proposition 5.2. Assuming Condition 5.1,
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger )$
is isomorphic to
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
as
${\mathcal {H}}$
-bimodules.
Proof. First we consider the supercuspidal case, so with
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s_M} = \mathrm {ind}_{M^1}^M (\sigma _1)$
. With Frobenius reciprocity we compute
Hermitian duals turn ind into Ind [Reference Renard25, Théorème III.2.7], so the right-hand side of (5.4) is also
An analogous computation (with ind instead of Ind) applies to
$\mathrm {End}_M (\Pi _{\mathfrak s_M})$
. We note that the set
is a finite index subgroup of M which does not depend on the choice of
$\sigma _1$
, see [Reference Roche26, §1.6]. With the Mackey decomposition we obtain
Here all summands have dimension one, and they multiply like the elements
$m \in M^\sigma / M^1$
. In particular
$\mathcal A = {\mathbb {C}}[X] \cong {\mathbb {C}}[M^\sigma / M^1]$
. Similarly (5.4) and (5.5) become
In view of (2.4), the right-hand side of (5.6) is isomorphic to
$\mathcal A^\dagger \cong \prod _{x \in X} {\mathbb {C}} \{x\}$
as
${\mathbb {C}} [X]$
-bimodules. With (5.4)–(5.5) we obtain an isomorphism of
$\mathcal A$
-bimodules
In the non-supercuspidal case (5.2) gives an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-isomorphism
By [Reference Roche26, Proposition 1.8.5.1] the right-hand side is naturally isomorphic to
From the supercuspidal case we know that this
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module is isomorphic to
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\mathcal A^\dagger )$
, which by Lemma 2.6 is isomorphic to
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
. It remains to see that the resulting left
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module isomorphism
is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-bimodules.
Recall from (2.4) that we identify
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
with
$\prod _{w \in W(\mathcal R)} {\mathbb {C}} N_w$
, which contains
${\mathcal {H}}$
as sub-bimodule. On the
${\mathcal {H}}$
-submodule
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s})$
of
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger )$
, the isomorphisms (5.8), (5.4), (5.5) and (5.6) become just the identity. Hence (5.9) extends the given algebra isomorphism
${\mathcal {H}} \cong \mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op}$
.
By (2.18) any element
$h^+$
of
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
admits a unique expression as
with
$\imath $
as in (2.19). The element
$h_w^+ := \sum _{x \in X} c_{w,x} \theta _x$
belongs to
$\mathcal A^\dagger $
, which via (5.7) and
$I_P^G$
embeds naturally in
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger )$
. From (5.6) we see that
Using the
${\mathcal {H}}$
-linearity of
$\phi $
we find
This shows that
$\phi $
commutes with infinite sums of elements of
${\mathcal {H}}$
in the form (5.10). Hence
$\phi $
commutes with limits of sequences in
${\mathcal {H}}$
that converge in
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
. Let
$(h_n^+)_{n=1}^\infty $
be a sequence in
${\mathcal {H}}$
with limit
$h^+ \in {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger $
. For any
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}$
, (5.11) yields
As
$\phi |_{{\mathcal {H}}}$
is an algebra homomorphism, the right-hand side equals
where the dot indicates the right action of
${\mathcal {H}}$
on
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \Pi _{\mathfrak s}^\dagger )$
from (5.3).
Proposition 5.2 serves as the starting point for the next result. It says that the Hermitian dual functors in
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
and in
$\mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}})$
match via (5.1). Similar results for unitary representations were obtained by Ciubotaru [Reference Ciubotaru9] and Heiermann (unpublished).
Theorem 5.3. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
and assume Condition 5.1. Then the
${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}, \pi ^\dagger )$
and
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\pi )^\dagger $
are isomorphic.
Proof. First we consider the special case where
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\pi )$
is a finitely generated
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module. Since
${\mathcal {H}}$
is Noetherian, there exists a projective resolution
where each
${\mathcal {H}} \otimes F_i$
is a free
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module with a finite dimensional multiplicity space
$F_i$
. We note that here
$d_i (i>0)$
is determined entirely by the map
The conjugate-transpose of (5.12) is an injective resolution
Via the equivalence of categories (5.1), (5.12) becomes a projective resolution of G-representations
Here
$d_i (i>0)$
is determined by the map
$d_i |_{F_i} : F_i \to \mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s}) \otimes F_{i-1}$
given by
$d_i |_{F_i}$
above composed with
${\mathcal {H}} \cong \mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op}$
. The conjugate-transpose of (5.14) is the injective resolution
in
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
. Again applying (5.1), we obtain an injective resolution
The maps
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},d_i^\dagger )$
are still determined by
$d_i |_{F_i}$
. To (5.16) we can apply Proposition 5.2, that yields
The maps in this sequence (except the leftmost) are induced by
$d_i |_{F_i}$
, so they equal the maps in (5.13). We deduce isomorphisms of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules
Now we consider the general case. Write
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\pi )$
as the direct limit of its finitely generated submodules
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\pi _i)$
, where i runs through some index set. Then
$\pi \cong \varinjlim \pi _i$
and
$\pi ^\dagger \cong \varprojlim \pi _i^\dagger $
, which gives
By (5.18), the right-hand side is isomorphic to
Theorem 5.3 implies, among other things, that the equivalence of categories (5.1) sends Hermitian representations (i.e.
$\pi ^\dagger \cong \pi $
) to Hermitian representations.
6 Equivalent characterizations of genericity
Recall that a G-representation
$\pi $
is called generic if there exist
-
• a nondegenerate character $\xi $
of the unipotent radical U of a minimal parabolic subgroup B of G, -
• a nonzero U-homomorphism from $\pi $
to
$\xi $
.
More precisely,
$\pi $
is
$(U,\xi )$
-generic if
Following [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4], we say that
$\pi $
is simply generic if
$\dim \mathrm {Hom}_U (\pi ,\xi ) = 1$
. For irreducible representations of quasi-split reductive p-adic groups, simple genericity is equivalent to genericity [Reference Shalika28, Reference Rodier27].
From [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4, (2.1.1)] we know that
$\mathrm {ind}_U^G (\xi )^\dagger \cong \mathrm {Ind}_U^G (\xi )$
, and hence there is a natural conjugate-linear isomorphism
By (5.1) the right-hand side of (6.1) is isomorphic to
Recall that
$\mathfrak s = [M,\sigma ]_G$
and notice that
$\xi $
restricts to a nondegenerate character of
$U \cap M$
. Suppose now that
$\pi \in \mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
and assume Condition 5.1. By Theorem 5.3, (6.2) is isomorphic to
The explicit structure of affine Hecke algebras (in comparison with reductive p-adic groups) will make it possible to characterize genericity of
$\pi $
much more simply than above. Recall that the Steinberg representation
$\mathrm {St} : {\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \to {\mathbb {C}}$
is given by
$\mathrm {St}(N_s) = - q_s^{-1/2}$
for every simple reflection
$s \in W$
.
Part (a) of the next result stems from [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4]. We include it because it compares well with part (b), which generalizes [Reference Chan and Savin8, Reference Mishra and Pattanayak21].
Theorem 6.1.
-
(a) Suppose that $\sigma $
is not
$(U \cap M, \xi )$
-generic. Then
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\mathrm {ind}_U^G (\xi )) = 0$
and no object of
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is
$(U,\xi )$
-generic. -
(b) Assume that $\sigma $
is simply
$(U \cap M, \xi )$
-generic and assume Condition 5.1. Then $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{Hom}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s}, \mathrm{ind}_U^G (\xi)) \cong \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}} (W,q^\lambda)}^{{\mathcal{H}}} (\mathrm{St}) \quad \text{as} \quad {\mathcal{H}}\text{-modules.} \end{align*}$$
Proof. Recall that
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s } = I_P^G (\mathrm {ind}_{M^1}^M (\sigma _1))$
for an irreducible subrepresentation
$\sigma _1$
of
$\mathrm {Res}^M_{M^1} (\sigma _1)$
. By [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4, Theorem 2.2] there is a natural isomorphism
$J^G_{\overline P} \mathrm {ind}_U^G (\xi ) \cong \mathrm {ind}_{U \cap M}^M (\xi )$
. With Bernstein’s second adjointness we find
(a) The non-genericity of
$\sigma $
implies, by [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4, Corollary 4.2], that the component of
$\mathrm {ind}_{U \cap M}^M (\xi )$
in
$\mathrm {Rep} (M)^{\mathfrak s_M}$
is zero. Hence (6.3) reduces to 0. That and (6.1)–(6.2) imply the second claim of part (a). (b) Since
$U \cap M \subset M^1$
, there is a unique irreducible constituent
$\sigma _1$
of
$\mathrm {Res}^M_{M^1} (\sigma )$
such that
$\mathrm {Hom}_{U \cap M} (\sigma _1,\xi )$
is nonzero. Then
Now [Reference Bushnell and Henniart4, Proposition 9.2] says that
By Condition 5.1
$\mathrm {End}_M (\mathfrak s_M) \cong \mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
. Hence (6.3) is isomorphic to
as modules for
$\mathrm {End}_M (\mathfrak s_M) \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
. That makes our setup almost the same as in [Reference Solleveld35, §2], which means that the arguments from there remain valid in our setting. Then [Reference Solleveld35, Lemma 3.1] proves the theorem.
The Hermitian duals of the representations in Theorem 6.1 can be described in various ways, which has interesting consequences.
Proposition 6.2. Assume Condition 5.1 and that
$\sigma $
is simply
$(U \cap M,\xi )$
-generic.
-
(a) There are isomorphisms of ${\mathcal {H}}$
-modules $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{Hom}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s}, \mathrm{Ind}_U^G (\xi)) \cong \mathrm{Hom}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s}, \mathrm{ind}_U^G (\xi))^\dagger \cong \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}(W,q^\lambda)}^{{\mathcal{H}}} (\mathrm{St})^\dagger \cong {\mathcal{H}}^\dagger \underset{{\mathcal{H}} (W,q^\lambda)}{\otimes} \mathrm{St}. \end{align*}$$
-
(b) For $\pi \in \mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
there are isomorphisms of complex vector spaces $$ \begin{align*} \mathrm{Hom}_U (\pi,\xi) \cong \mathrm{Hom}_G (\pi, \mathrm{Ind}_U^G (\xi)) & \cong \mathrm{Hom}_{{\mathcal{H}}} \big( \mathrm{Hom}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s},\pi), {\mathcal{H}}^\dagger \underset{{\mathcal{H}} (W,q^\lambda)}{\otimes} \mathrm{St} \big) \\ & \cong \mathrm{Hom}_{{\mathcal{H}} (W,q^\lambda)} (\mathrm{Hom}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s},\pi), \mathrm{St}). \end{align*} $$
-
(c) A representation $\pi \in \mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is
$(U,\xi )$
-generic if and only if the
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
-module
$\mathrm {Hom}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s},\pi )$
contains
$\mathrm {St}$
.
Proof. (a) The first isomorphism is an instance of Theorem 5.3, the second is Theorem 6.1 and the third is Lemma 2.1.a for
$V = \mathrm {St} = \mathrm {St}^\dagger $
.
(b) The first isomorphism is a version of Frobenius reciprocity and the third is Lemma 2.1.b. The second isomorphism follows from the equivalence of categories (5.1) and part (a).
(c) This follows from part (b) and the semisimplicity of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
.
We note that Proposition 6.2.c is almost the same as [Reference Solleveld35, Theorem 3.4]. The latter was only proven for representations of finite length, and did not include Proposition 6.2.a,b.
7 Generic representations of affine Hecke algebras
Let us return to a more general setting, where
${\mathcal {H}}$
is an affine Hecke algebra with q-parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
, but
${\mathcal {H}}$
does not have to come from a reductive p-adic group. Motivated by Proposition 6.2, we put
Definition 7.1. An
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module V is generic if and only if
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}}}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} V$
contains St.
From this definition the multiplicity one property of generic constituents of standard modules, as in [Reference Shalika28, Reference Rodier27] for quasi-split reductive p-adic groups, follows quickly.
Lemma 7.2. Let
$P \subset \Delta $
and let
$V \in \mathrm {Mod}({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
.
-
(a) V is generic if and only if $\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
is generic. -
(b) Suppose V is irreducible and generic. Then $\dim \mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} (\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V, \mathrm {St}) = 1$
and
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
has a unique generic irreducible subquotient. This constituent appears with multiplicity one in
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
.
Proof. (a) The Bernstein presentation of
${\mathcal {H}}$
shows that
Then by Frobenius reciprocity
(b) By [Reference Solleveld35, Lemma 3.5]
and by part (a) it is not 0. In view of the semisimplicity of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
, this shows that
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
contains a unique copy of St, say
${\mathbb {C}} v$
. It follows that
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
has a generic irreducible subquotient, which appears with multiplicity one. It can be described as
${\mathcal {H}} v$
modulo the maximal submodule that does not contain v.
We will investigate when the generic constituent of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} V$
is a quotient or a subrepresentation. That is related to the generalized injectivity conjecture [Reference Casselman and Shahidi7] about representations of reductive p-adic groups. It asserts that the generic irreducible subquotient of a generic standard representation is always a subrepresentation.
The last isomorphism in Proposition 6.2.b provides a useful alternative (but equivalent) condition for genericity of an
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation
$\pi $
, namely that
By Proposition 2.7 there are isomorphisms of
$\mathcal A$
-modules
The composed isomorphism is given explicitly by
where
$\imath $
is as in (2.19). For
$t \in T$
we write
In these terms
Lemma 7.3. Let
$P \subset \Delta $
and let
$\pi $
be an irreducible generic
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation.
-
(a) For any $t \in T^P$
:
$\dim \mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}}} \big ( \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t), {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St} \big ) = 1$
. -
(b) Let $s \in T$
be a weight of
$\pi $
. Then the image of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t)$
in
${\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St}$
, via a nonzero
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphism as in part (a), is generated as
${\mathcal {H}}$
-module by
$f_{st} \otimes 1$
.
Proof. (a) This follows from Lemmas 2.1.b and 7.2.b. (b) For any weight s of
$\pi $
, Frobenius reciprocity yields a nonzero (and hence surjective)
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (s) \to \pi $
. Hence the unique (up to scalars)
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-homomorphism
$\pi \to {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St}$
can be inflated to a nonzero
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphism
$\phi _s : \mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} (s) \to {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St}$
. Similarly the unique (up to scalars) homomorphism
$\pi \otimes t \to {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St}$
inflates to
By (7.3) we may assume that
Let
$v_s$
be the image of
$N_e \otimes 1 \in \mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P}(s)$
in
$\pi $
, by irreducibility it generates
$\pi $
. Then
$\phi _{st}$
factors through a homomorphism
$\pi \otimes t \to {\mathcal {H}}^\dagger \otimes _{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )} \mathrm {St}$
that sends
$v_s$
to
$f_{st} \otimes 1$
. Frobenius reciprocity produces a homomorphism
Clearly the image of
$\mathfrak {Wh} (P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)$
is generated by
$f_{st} \otimes 1$
.
The
$\mathfrak {Wh} (P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)$
with
$t \in T^P$
form an algebraic family of
${\mathcal {H}}$
-homomorphisms, in the sense that for any fixed
$h \in {\mathcal {H}}$
the image
$\mathfrak {Wh}(P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)(h \otimes v_s)$
is a regular function of t.
To analyse the unique irreducible generic subquotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
, which exists by Lemma 7.2.b, we use a version of Shahidi’s local constant [Reference Shahidi29]. Let us set up the intertwining operators
$I(\gamma ,\pi \otimes t)$
more systematically. For
$\alpha \in \Delta $
we define
${\imath _{s_\alpha }^\circ \in {\mathbb {C}} (T)^W \otimes _{{\mathcal {O}} (T)^W} {\mathcal {H}}}$
by
By [Reference Lusztig20, §5],
$s_\alpha \mapsto \imath _{s_\alpha }^\circ $
extends to a group homomorphism
These elements provide an algebra isomorphism
Assume that
$P, w(P) \subset \Delta $
. It follows from (7.5) that
Hence the isomorphism
$\psi _w : {\mathcal {H}}^P \to {\mathcal {H}}^{w(P)}$
equals conjugation by
$\imath ^\circ _w$
in
${\mathbb {C}} (T)^W \otimes _{{\mathcal {O}} (T)^W} {\mathcal {H}}$
. Let
$t \in T^P$
and
$(\pi ,V_\pi ) \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
. Consider the bijection
where
$V_\pi $
is endowed with the representation
$\pi \otimes t$
. For t in a Zariski-open dense subset of
$T^P$
, this defines an intertwining operator
which is rational as function of
$t \in T^P$
. By (7.6), whenever
$\gamma w (P) \subset \Delta $
:
The Whittaker functionals from (7.4) satisfy
at least away from the poles of
$I(w,P,\pi ,t)$
. By Lemma 7.3 there exists a unique
$C(w,P,\pi ,t) \in {\mathbb {C}} \cup \{\infty \}$
such that
For
$\gamma = w^{-1}$
, (7.7) implies
Notice that
$C(w,P,\pi ,?)$
is a rational function on
$T^P$
, because all the other terms in (7.8) are so. This
$C(w,P,\pi ,t)$
is the local constant for affine Hecke algebras, analogous to [Reference Shahidi29]. We note that this is based on the normalized intertwining operators that involve
$\imath _w^\circ $
. An even stronger analogy with [Reference Shahidi29] can be obtained by using intertwining operators based on the elements
$\imath _w$
from [Reference Opdam23, (4.1)]. The normalization of the intertwining operators does not affect the poles of the local constants.
Lemma 7.4. Let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
be generic. Then
$C(w,P,\pi ,?)$
is regular at
$t \in T^P$
if and only if
$\ker I (w,P,\pi ,t) \subset \ker \mathfrak {Wh}(P,\pi \otimes t, v_s)$
.
Proof. Suppose that
$C(w,P,\pi ,t) = \infty $
. Then
so
$\text {im}\, I(w,P,\pi ,t)$
is not generic. In the short exact sequence
the middle term is generic by Lemma 7.3. Hence
$\mathfrak {Wh}(w,P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)$
does not vanish on
$\ker I(w,P,\pi ,t)$
, and the latter is generic.
When
$C(w,P,\pi ,t) \in {\mathbb {C}}^\times $
, the equivalence is clear from (7.8).
Suppose that
$C(w,P,\pi ,t) = 0$
. Then
$I(w,P,\pi ,t)$
has a pole at
$t \in T^P$
, caused by a pole of
$\imath ^\circ _{w^{-1}}$
. Let f be a holomorphic function on a neighbourhood U of t in
$T^P$
, such that
$f(t') I(w,P,\pi ,t')$
is regular and nonzero on U. We can replace (7.8) by
for some
$C \in {\mathbb {C}} \cup \{\infty \}$
. As
$\mathfrak {Wh}(P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)$
is nonzero, so is C. Then (7.10) shows that
$\mathfrak {Wh}(w(P),\psi _w (\pi \otimes t), v_s)$
is nonzero on
$\mathrm {im}\, f(t) I(w,P,\pi , t)$
. Therefore
$C \neq \infty $
, and we conclude that
$\mathfrak {Wh}(P,\pi \otimes t,v_s)$
factors through
$f(t) I(w,P,\pi , t)$
. In particular
Next we prove some cases of the generalized injectivity conjecture for affine Hecke algebras. For that we need
$q_s \geq 1$
for all
$s \in S_{\mathrm {aff}}$
, otherwise the statement would be false (the Steinberg representation of
${\mathcal {H}}$
would violate it).
Theorem 7.5. Assume that
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
for all
$\alpha \in R$
. Let
$t \in T^P$
and let
${\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)}$
be generic, tempered and anti-tempered.
-
(a) When $t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
, the unique generic irreducible subquotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
is $$\begin{align*}L(P,\pi \otimes t) = \mathrm{ind}_{{\mathcal{H}}^P}^{{\mathcal{H}}}(\pi \otimes t) \big/ \ker I (w_{\Delta,P}, P, \pi \otimes t). \end{align*}$$
-
(b) When $t \in T^{P+}$
, the unique generic irreducible subquotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}} (\pi \otimes t)$
is its unique irreducible subrepresentation
$\tilde L (P,\pi , t)$
.
Proof. (a) In view of Proposition 4.8.ii and Lemma 7.4, it suffices to check that
$C(w_{\Delta ,P},P,\pi ,?)$
does not have a pole at t. By (7.9), it is equivalent to show that
Suppose that (7.11) is zero. By (7.8),
$I(w_{P,\Delta },P^{op},\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P}}(\pi ), w_{\Delta ,P} (t))$
has a pole at t. It is known from [Reference Opdam23, Theorem 4.33.i] that every such t is a zero of
for some weight r of
$\pi $
and
$-\alpha , w_{P,\Delta } (\alpha ) \in R^+$
. Equivalently, such a t satisfies
for some weight r of
$\pi $
and
$\beta , -w_{\Delta ,P} (\beta ) \in R^+$
. The eligible
$\beta $
are precisely the roots in
$R^+ \setminus R_P^+$
. From
$t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
we get
$\beta (t) \in (0,1)$
for all
$\beta \in R^+ \setminus R_P^+$
. By the temperedness and anti-temperedness of
$\pi $
,
$|r| = 1$
. Hence
$|\beta (rt)| < 1$
, which in combination with
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
implies that (7.12) never holds under our assumptions. Hence (7.11) is valid.
(b) In the proof of Proposition 4.8.iii we checked that
$\psi _{w_{\Delta ,P}}(\pi )$
is again tempered and anti-tempered, and that
$w_{\Delta ,P} (t)^{-1} \in T^{P^{op}+}$
. By part (a)
is generic. This is an irreducible subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\pi \otimes t)$
, and from Proposition 4.8.iv we know that there exists only one such subquotient.
One interesting application of Theorem 7.5 concerns the induction of suitable characters of
$\mathcal A$
.
Proposition 7.6. Suppose that
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
for all
$\alpha \in R$
, and let
$t \in T$
.
-
(a) Suppose $|t^{-1}|$
lies in the closure of
$T^{\emptyset +}$
. Then the unique generic irreducible constituent of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
is a quotient. -
(b) Suppose $|t|$
lies in the closure of
$T^{\emptyset +}$
. Then the unique generic irreducible constituent of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
is a subrepresentation.
Proof. Write
$P = \{ \alpha \in \Delta : |\alpha (t)| = 1 \}$
. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ( t |t|^{-1})$
is an
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-representation all whose
$\mathcal A$
-weights belong to
$\mathrm {Hom}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X,S^1)$
, so it is both tempered and anti-tempered. By [Reference Solleveld31, Proposition 3.1.4.a]
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}^P} ( t |t|^{-1})$
is completely reducible, say a direct sum of irreducible subrepresentations
$\rho _i$
. As
$|t| \in T^P$
:
where all the weights of
$\rho _i \otimes |t|$
have absolute value
$|t|$
. Lemma 7.3.a guarantees that exactly one of the
$\rho _i \otimes |t|$
is generic, say it is
$\rho _1 \otimes |t|$
. Now the arguments for the two parts diverge: (a) By Theorem 7.5.a
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\rho _1 \otimes |t|)$
has a generic irreducible quotient
$\pi $
. In view of (7.13) and the transitivity of parabolic induction,
$\pi $
is also a quotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
. (b) By Theorem 7.5.b
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\rho _1 \otimes |t|)$
has a generic irreducible subrepresentation
$\pi $
. By (7.13)
$\pi $
is also a subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
.
Proposition 7.6 is a Hecke algebra version of the generalized injectivity conjecture for inductions of supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups [Reference Casselman and Shahidi7, Theorem 1]. For the current status of the generalized injectivity conjecture we refer to [Reference Dijols11]. Possibly our Hecke algebra interpretation can be useful to establish more cases. However, the generalized injectivity conjecture does not hold for all affine Hecke algebras with parameters
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
, as witnessed by the next example.
Example 7.7. Consider the based root datum
We take
$\lambda (\beta ) = \lambda ^* (\beta ) = 1$
and
$\lambda (\alpha ) = \lambda ^* (\alpha ) = 6$
. (It would also work with any number
$>2$
instead of 6.) The algebra
${\mathcal {H}} = {\mathcal {H}} (\mathcal R,\lambda ,\lambda ^*,q)$
has a one-dimensional discrete series representation
$\delta $
given by:
-
• $\mathcal A$
acts on
$\delta $
via the weight
$t_\delta = (q^{-5},q)$
, -
• $\delta (N_{s_\alpha }) = - q^{-3}$
and
$\delta (N_{s_\beta }) = q^{1/2}$
.
As
$W_{t_\delta } = \{e\}$
,
$\delta $
is the unique irreducible
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation with
$\mathcal A$
-weight
$t_\delta $
. Notice that
$\delta $
is not generic. We will show that
$\delta $
occurs as the unique irreducible subrepresentation of a standard module.
Let
$\mathrm {St}_\alpha $
be the Steinberg representation of
${\mathcal {H}}^{\{\alpha \}}$
, a generic discrete series representation with
$\mathcal A$
-weight
$(q^{-3},q^3)$
. For
$(q^2,q^2) \in T^{\{\alpha \}+}$
,
$\mathrm {St}_\alpha \otimes (q^2,q^2)$
has the unique
$\mathcal A$
-weight
${t = (q^{-1},q^5)}$
. By [Reference Solleveld33, Lemma 3.3] the standard module
has set of
$\mathcal A$
-weights
By considering the invertibility of intertwining operators, one sees that
$t, s_\beta t$
and
$s_\alpha s_\beta t$
sit together in one irreducible subquotient of
$\pi $
. That representation involves the maximal weight t of
$\pi $
, so by Theorem 4.3.a it is the Langlands quotient
$L \big ( \{\alpha \},\mathrm {St}_\alpha , (q^2,q^2) \big )$
. Further
$t_\delta $
is not a weight of
$L \big ( \{\alpha \},\mathrm {St}_\alpha , (q^2,q^2) \big )$
, because the only irreducible
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation with that property is
$\delta $
. Thus
$\pi $
is reducible and has a subquotient
$\delta $
, which is in fact a subrepresentation because it equals the kernel of
$\pi \to L \big ( \{\alpha \},\mathrm {St}_\alpha , (q^2,q^2) \big )$
. Lemma 7.2.b says that
$\pi $
has a unique generic irreducible constituent and it is not
$\delta $
, so it must be the Langlands quotient
$L \big ( \{\alpha \},\mathrm {St}_\alpha , (q^2,q^2) \big )$
.
A weaker version of the generalized injectivity conjecture is known as the standard module conjecture [Reference Casselman and Shahidi7]. It asserts that the Langlands quotient of a generic standard representation is generic if and only if that standard module is irreducible. This has been proven for all quasi-split reductive p-adic groups [Reference Heiermann and Muić14, Reference Heiermann and Opdam15]. Using Section 6, one can deduce the standard module conjecture for all affine Hecke algebras whose parameters come from a generic Bernstein component for a quasi-split reductive p-adic group.
Nevertheless, our above counterexample to the generalized injectivity conjecture is also a counterexample to the standard module conjecture for affine Hecke algebras with arbitrary parameters
$\geq 1$
.
8 Affine Hecke algebras extended with finite groups
For comparison with reductive p-adic groups it is useful to consider a slightly larger class of algebras. Let
$\Gamma $
be a finite group acting on the based root datum
$\mathcal R = (X,R,Y,R^\vee ,\Delta )$
. Then
$\Gamma $
acts on W by
where the conjugation takes place in
$\mathrm {Aut}_{\mathbb {Z}} (X)$
. This yields a semidirect product
${(X \rtimes W) \rtimes \Gamma } $
. We also suppose that
$\Gamma $
acts on
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X] \cong {\mathcal {O}} (T)$
, such that the induced action on
$\mathcal A^\times / {\mathbb {C}}^\times \cong X$
recovers the given action on X. Thus
$\Gamma $
acts on
$T = \mathrm {Irr} (\mathcal A)$
, but it need not fix a point of T.
Further we assume that the label functions
$\lambda , \lambda ^* : R \to \mathbb R$
are
$\Gamma $
-invariant. Then
$\Gamma $
acts on
${\mathcal {H}}$
by the algebra automorphisms
The algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma = \Gamma \ltimes {\mathcal {H}}$
has an Iwahori–Matsumoto basis
$\{ N_w : w \in (X \rtimes W) \rtimes \Gamma \}$
and a Bernstein basis
$\{ \theta _x N_w : x \in X, w \in W \rtimes \Gamma \}$
. The length function of
$X \rtimes W$
extends naturally to
$X \rtimes (W \rtimes \Gamma )$
, and then it becomes zero on
$\Gamma $
. The involution * of
${\mathcal {H}}$
extends to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
by
$N_\gamma ^* = N_{\gamma ^{-1}}$
for
$\gamma \in \Gamma $
. We extend the trace
$\tau $
of
${\mathcal {H}}$
to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
by defining
$\tau |_{{\mathcal {H}} N_\gamma } = 0$
for all
$\gamma \in \Gamma \setminus \{e\}$
.
More generally we can involve a 2-cocycle
$\natural : \Gamma ^2 \to {\mathbb {C}}^\times $
. It gives rise to a twisted group algebra
${\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, with multiplication rules
From that we can build the twisted affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, which is like
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
, only with
${\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ]$
replaced by
${\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. These twisted algebras can also be constructed with central idempotents. Namely, let
be a finite central extension, such that the pullback of
$\natural $
to
$\Gamma ^+$
splits. Then there exists a minimal idempotent
$p_\natural \in {\mathbb {C}} [Z_\Gamma ^+]$
and an algebra isomorphism
For each lift
$\gamma ^+ \in \Gamma ^+$
of
$\gamma \in \Gamma $
,
$\phi _\natural (p_\natural N_{\gamma ^+}) \in {\mathbb {C}}^\times N_\gamma $
. Then
$p_\natural $
is also a central idempotent in
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma ^+$
and
Since
$p_\natural $
comes from a unitary character of
$Z_\Gamma ^+$
, it is stable under the natural *-operation on
${\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ^+]$
. We define the * on
${\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
by
In combination with the * on
${\mathcal {H}}$
, this endows (8.2) with a *-operation. We define the trace on
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma ,\natural ]$
just like for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
.
To deal with parabolic induction, we use a subgroup
$\Gamma _P \subset \Gamma $
for each
$P \subset \Delta $
.
Condition 8.1.
-
(i) $\Gamma _P \subset \Gamma _Q$
whenever
$P \subset Q$
, -
(ii) the action of $\Gamma _P$
on T stabilizes
$P, T_P$
and
$T^P$
(and hence normalizes
$W_P$
), -
(iii) $\Gamma _P$
acts on
$T^P$
by multiplication with elements of the finite group
$T_P \cap T^P$
, -
(iv) if $\gamma \in W \rtimes \Gamma , P \subset \Delta $
and
$\gamma (P) \subset \Delta $
, then
$\gamma \Gamma _P \gamma ^{-1} = \Gamma _{\gamma (P)}$
, -
(v) $\natural $
is trivial on
$\Gamma _\emptyset ^2$
.
Let
$\Gamma _P^+$
be the inverse image of
$\Gamma _P$
in
$\Gamma ^+$
for the map (8.1), then Condition 8.1 holds for
$\Gamma ^+$
as well. We say that
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
is a parabolic subalgebra of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. Notice that
${\mathcal {H}}^\Delta \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _\Delta ,\natural ] = {\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _\Delta ,\natural ]$
(but
$\Gamma _\Delta $
need not be the whole of
$\Gamma $
). By Condition 8.1.iii,
$\Gamma _\emptyset $
acts trivially on
$T^\emptyset = T$
, so
$\Gamma _\emptyset $
acts trivially on
${\mathcal {H}}$
. Together with Condition 8.1.v that implies
By Condition 8.1.ii
$\Gamma _P$
stabilizes
$P, X \cap \mathbb Q P$
and
$X \cap (P^\vee )^\perp $
. Then Condition 8.1.iii says that
$\Gamma _P$
fixes
$\mathbb Q X \cap (P^\vee )^\perp \cong \mathbb Q X / \mathbb Q P$
pointwise. Let us write the action of
$\gamma \in \Gamma $
on
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [X]$
as
For
$t \in T^P = \mathrm {Hom} (X / X \cap \mathbb Q P, {\mathbb {C}}^\times ), w \in W_P, x \in X$
we compute
These two lines are equal because
$\gamma $
fixes
$X / X \cap \mathbb Q P$
pointwise, so that
$t(\gamma (x)) = t(x)$
. Thus
$\psi _t \in \mathrm {Aut} ({\mathcal {H}}^P)$
is
$\Gamma _P$
-equivariant and extends to an automorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
. That enables us to define
$\pi \otimes t$
for
$\pi \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ])$
and
$t \in T^P$
.
Assuming all the above, we will check what is needed to make the results from the previous sections valid for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
and for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. To ease the notation we will sometimes write things down for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
and then indicate how they can be generalized to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. Of course this means that everywhere we should also replace
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
by
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
and
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
by
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. The role of
$W^P$
can be played by
$\Gamma ^P W^P$
, where
$\Gamma ^P \subset \Gamma $
is a set of representatives for
$\Gamma / \Gamma _P$
. Notice that
$\Gamma ^P W^P$
is a set of shortest length representatives for
$W \rtimes \Gamma / W_P \rtimes \Gamma _P$
, because
In Lemma 1.1 we replace
$h = N_w \theta _x$
by
$N_{\gamma w} \theta _x$
and
$N_{w^{-1}}$
by
$N_{\gamma w}^* = N_{w^{-1}} N_\gamma ^* \in {\mathbb {C}}^\times N_{w^{-1}} N_{\gamma ^{-1}}$
. For
$\gamma \in \Gamma \setminus \Gamma _P$
both
$(h^*)^P_e$
and
$(h^P_e)^{*_P}$
are zero, while for
$\gamma \in \Gamma _P$
the calculations from the proof of Lemma 1.1 remain valid with an extra factor
$N_\gamma ^*$
at the right.
In Section 2 and Theorem 3.1 there are a few additional complications, almost everything holds just as well for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. Only in Lemma 2.2 we need to be careful: the same argument works for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma ^+$
, and from there we can restrict to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
via (8.2).
To generalize Proposition 3.2 we need some preparations. Let
$P,Q \subset \Delta $
and let
$D^{P,Q}$
be a set of shortest length representatives for
$W_P \Gamma _P \backslash W \Gamma / W_Q \Gamma _Q$
. In contrast with
$W^{P,Q}$
,
$D^{P,Q}$
need not be unique. Like in (3.9), every
$d \in D^{P,Q}$
gives rise to an algebra isomorphism
Kilmoyer’s result (3.11) can be generalized as follows:
Lemma 8.2. Let
$d \in D^{P,Q}$
.
-
(a) $d^{-1} W_P d \cap W_Q$
equals
$W_{d^{-1}(P) \cap Q}$
. -
(b) $d^{-1} (W_P \rtimes \Gamma _P) d \cap (W_Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q)$
equals
$W_{d^{-1}(P) \cap Q} \rtimes (d^{-1} \Gamma _P d \cap \Gamma _Q)$
.
Proof. Write
$d = \gamma _d w_d$
with
$\gamma _d \in \Gamma $
and
$w_d \in W$
. For
$\alpha \in P$
we have
$\ell (d s_\alpha ) < \ell (d)$
, so
$d (\alpha ) \in R^+$
. As
$\gamma _d (R^+) = R^+$
, also
$w_d (\alpha ) \in R^+$
. For
$\alpha \in P$
we have
$\ell (s_\beta d) < \ell (d)$
, so
$R^+ \ni d^{-1}(\beta ) = w_d^{-1} \gamma _d^{-1} (\beta )$
. Thus
$w_d (Q) \subset R^+$
and
$w_d^{-1}( \gamma _d^{-1} P) \subset R^+$
, which means that
$w_d \in W^{\gamma _d^{-1}(P),Q}$
. (a) We compute
By (3.11) the right-hand side equals
$W_{w_d^{-1} \gamma _d^{-1}(P) \cap Q} = W_{d^{-1}(P) \cap Q}$
. (b) First we note that by Condition 8.1.iv
Consider
$w_1 \in W_Q, \gamma _1 \in \Gamma _Q, w_2 \in W_{\gamma _d^{-1}(P)}, \gamma _2 \in \Gamma _{\gamma _d^{-1}(P)}$
such that
Via the isomorphism
$W \rtimes \Gamma / W \cong \Gamma $
we see that
$\gamma _1 = \gamma _2 \in \Gamma _Q \cap \Gamma _{\gamma _d^{-1}(P)}$
. Then
so
$\gamma _2 w_d \gamma _1^{-1} = \gamma _1 w_d \gamma ^{-1} \in W^{P,Q}$
. Now
which by [Reference Carter6, Lemma 2.7.2] is only possible when
$\gamma _2 w_d \gamma ^{-1} = w_d$
. Hence
and from (3.11) we know that the right-hand side equals
$W_{Q \cap d^{-1}(P)}$
. From (8.5) and (8.6) we obtain
$\gamma _1 = w_d^{-1} \gamma _2 w_d$
, so
Let
$(\pi ,V_\pi ) \in \mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q)$
. Analogous to (3.10),
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } (V_\pi )$
has linear subspaces
With Lemma 8.2 at hand, the proof of Proposition 3.2 becomes valid for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. The above also works for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, which is only a notational difference. The result is:
Proposition 8.3. For each
$d \in D^{P,Q}$
,
$(\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } )_{\leq d} (V_\pi )$
is an
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P$
-submodule of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } (V_\pi )$
. There is an isomorphism of
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P$
-modules
Thus the functor
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes \Gamma _Q}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }$
has a filtration with successive subquotients
where d runs through
$D^{P,Q}$
.
The same holds with
${\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
instead of
${\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ]$
.
In Section 4 the elementary Lemmas 4.1 and 4.2 also hold for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. However, the Langlands classification and its variations (Theorem 4.3 and Propositions 4.4, 4.8) are just not valid any more in this form. An extension of Theorem 4.3 to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
was established in [Reference Solleveld31, Corollary 2.2.5], but it is more involved.
The main issue with the Langlands classification for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
is the uniqueness, as witnessed by the following example. Let
$R = A_2, \Delta = \{\alpha ,\beta \}, X = \mathbb Z R$
and let
$\Gamma = \{e,\gamma \}$
with
$\gamma $
the unique nontrivial automorphism of
$(X,\Delta )$
. The parabolic subalgebras of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
are
$\mathcal A, {\mathcal {H}}^{\{\alpha \}}, {\mathcal {H}}^{\{\beta \}}$
and
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. Pick a
$t \in T^{\emptyset +}$
which is fixed by
$\gamma $
. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
has a unique irreducible quotient but
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
has two inequivalent irreducible quotients.
Lemma 4.5 and its proof still work with our standard modifications. However, to generalize Lemma 4.6 and Theorem 4.7 we first have to extend the notion of
$W,\!P$
-regularity. We say that an
${\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]$
-representation
$\pi $
is
$W\Gamma ,\!P$
-regular if
$wt \notin \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
for all
$t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
and all
$w \in W_P \Gamma _P D_+^{P,P}$
, where
Lemma 8.4. Let
$P,Q \subset \Delta $
and
$\gamma \in W \Gamma $
such that
$\gamma (P) = Q$
and let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ])$
be
$W\Gamma ,\!P$
-regular.
-
(a) The representation $\pi $
appears with multiplicity one in
$\mathrm {Res}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]} \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _Q,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}}\rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi )$
, as a direct summand. -
(b) $\dim \mathrm {Hom}_{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} \big ( \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _P,\natural ]}^{ {\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\pi ), \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^Q \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _Q,\natural ]}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]} (\psi _{\gamma *} \pi ) \big ) = 1$
.
Proof. (a) Since
$\gamma (P) \subset R^+$
and
$\gamma ^{-1}(Q) \subset R^+$
,
$\gamma ^{-1}$
has minimal length in
$W_P \Gamma _P \gamma ^{-1} W_Q \Gamma _Q$
. Hence we may choose
$D^{P,Q}$
so that it contains
$\gamma ^{-1}$
. We follow the proof of Lemma 4.5 with
$d' = \gamma ^{-1}$
. Instead of (4.6) we find
$w_1, w_2 \in W_P \rtimes \Gamma _P$
and
$t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
such that
$w_2^{-1} w_1 d \gamma t \in \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
. The
$W \Gamma ,\!P$
-regularity of
$\pi $
says that
Notice that
$d \gamma (P) = d(Q) \subset R^+$
, which means that
$d \gamma \in \Gamma W^P$
. Suppose that
$d \gamma $
does not have minimal length in
$W_P d \gamma $
. There exists
$\alpha \in P$
with
$\gamma ^{-1} d^{-1} (\alpha ) \in -R^+$
. Then
$\gamma ^{-1} d^{-1} s_\alpha (\alpha ) \in R^+$
and
As
$\gamma ^{-1}(Q) \subset R^+$
,
$d^{-1}(\alpha ) \notin Q$
and
$\alpha \notin d^{-1}(Q)$
. That gives
The reasoning can be applied to
$s_\alpha d \gamma $
. Repeating that if necessary, we find
$w_4 \in W_P$
such that
$w_4 d \gamma (P) \subset R^+$
and
$w_4 d \gamma $
has minimal length in
$W_P d \gamma $
. Thus
$(w_4 d \gamma )^{-1}(P) \subset R^+$
,
$w_4 d \gamma \in D_+^{P,P} \cup \Gamma _P$
and
$d \gamma \in W_P (D_+^{P,P} \cup \Gamma _P)$
. Combining that with (8.7), we find
$d \gamma \in W_P \Gamma _P = \Gamma _P W_P$
. Also
$d \gamma \in \Gamma W^P$
, so in fact
$d \gamma \in \Gamma _P$
. Then
$\Gamma _P d = \Gamma _P \gamma ^{-1}$
, and using
$d, \gamma ^{-1} \in D^{P,Q}$
we obtain
$d = \gamma ^{-1}$
. From this point on, we can conclude in the same way as in the proof of Lemma 4.6.a. (b) This can be shown exactly as in the proof of Lemma 4.6.
Lemma 8.4.c yields a nonzero intertwining operator
unique up to scalars. With those operators Theorem 4.7 and its proof become valid for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
. That provides
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
with a substitute for the uniqueness of Langlands quotients and Langlands representations (for
${\mathcal {H}}$
). We warn that Proposition 4.8 fails for
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
:
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P)$
tempered and
$t \in T^{P+}$
does not enforce
$W\Gamma ,\!P$
-regularity of
$\pi \otimes t$
.
We may relax Condition 5.1 by replacing
${\mathcal {H}}$
with
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, let us call that Condition 5.1’. The advantage is that it becomes valid for more Bernstein components of representations of p-adic groups. For instance, Condition 5.1’ applies to all smooth representations of classical groups [Reference Heiermann13, Reference Aubert, Moussaoui and Solleveld1] and in those cases Condition 8.1 follows from the same checks as in [Reference Solleveld32, §5]. Under Condition 5.1’, the indecomposability of
$\mathrm {Rep} (M)^{\mathfrak s_M}$
forces
$\mathrm {Mod} ({\mathcal {H}}^\emptyset \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma _\emptyset ,\natural ])$
to be indecomposable. Hence the algebra (8.3) is also indecomposable, which forces
$\Gamma _\emptyset = \{1\}$
. All the arguments and results in Section 5 remain valid with
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
instead of
${\mathcal {H}}$
, no further adjustments are necessary.
In the setting of Section 6, Condition 5.1’ turns out to hold automatically with trivial 2-cocycle, see Theorem A.1. The crucial part of the proof of Theorem 6.1 is the reference to [Reference Solleveld35, §2]. Since that work was conceived for algebras of the form
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
, Theorem 6.1 applies to all extended affine Hecke algebras that satisfy Condition 5.1’ with
$\natural = 1$
. More precisely, we extend the Steinberg representation of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
to
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda ) \rtimes \Gamma $
by
where
$\det _X$
means the determinant of the action of
$\gamma $
on X. The more general version of Theorem 6.1.b says:
That and Proposition 6.2 prompt us to define:
With this definition, the part from Proposition 6.2 up to and including Lemma 7.4 generalizes readily to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. For representations of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
with
$\natural $
nontrivial in
$H^2 (\Gamma ,{\mathbb {C}}^\times )$
, genericity is not defined. In such cases
${\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
does not possess one-dimensional representations, so we do not have a good analogue of
$\det _X$
.
Let us discuss the relation between generic representations of
${\mathcal {H}}$
and of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
. The definition of the Steinberg representation of
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
shows that
$\gamma (\mathrm {St}) = \mathrm {St}$
for all
$\gamma \in \Gamma $
. It follows that
Suppose now that
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
is an irreducible generic
${\mathcal {H}}$
-representation. By Lemma 7.2.b there exists a unique (up to scalars) vector
$v_{\mathrm {St}} \in V_\pi \setminus \{0\}$
on which
${\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )$
acts according to St. Let
$\Gamma _\pi $
be the stabilizer (in
$\Gamma $
) of
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}})$
. Schur’s lemma says there exists a unique (up to scalars) linear bijection
As
$\gamma (\mathrm {St}) = \mathrm {St}$
,
$\pi (\gamma ) v_{\mathrm {St}}$
must belong to
${\mathbb {C}} v_{\mathrm {St}}$
. We normalize
$\pi (\gamma )$
by the condition
${\pi (\gamma ) v_{\mathrm {St}} = v_{\mathrm {St}}}$
. In this way
$(\pi ,V_\pi )$
extends to a representation of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma _\pi $
.
Clifford theory [Reference Ram and Rammage24, Appendix] tells us how any irreducible
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
-representation containing
$\pi $
can be constructed. Namely, let
$(\rho ,V_\rho ) \in \mathrm {Irr} (\Gamma _\pi )$
and let
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma _\pi $
act on
$V_\pi \otimes V_\rho $
by
Then
$\pi \rtimes \rho := \mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma _\pi }^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } (V_\pi \otimes V_\rho )$
is irreducible and
is an injection with image
As for the genericity of
$\pi \rtimes \rho $
:
By Lemma 7.2.b and because
$\pi (\Gamma _\pi )$
fixes
$v_{\mathrm {St}}$
, the last expression is isomorphic with
$\mathrm {Hom}_{\Gamma _\pi } (\rho , \det _X)$
. We conclude that
Conversely, consider an irreducible generic
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
-representation
$(\sigma ,V_\sigma )$
. Let
$\pi $
be an irreducible
${\mathcal {H}}$
-subrepresentation of
$\sigma $
. Then
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(\pi )$
surjects onto
$\pi $
, so every irreducible
${\mathcal {H}}$
-subquotient of
$\sigma $
is isomorphic to
$\gamma (\pi )$
for some
$\gamma \in \Gamma $
. As
$\mathrm {Res}_{{\mathcal {H}} (W,q^\lambda )}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } \sigma $
contains St, at least one of the
$\gamma (\pi )$
is generic. In view of (8.8), actually all of them are generic, and in particular
$\pi $
. Then (8.11)–(8.13) show that
Next we generalize Theorem 7.5 and Proposition 7.6. Since the statements really change, we formulate them as new results.
Theorem 8.5. Assume that
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
for all
$\alpha \in R$
. Let
$t \in T^P$
and let
$\pi \in \mathrm {Irr} ({\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P)$
be tempered, anti-tempered and generic. The unique generic irreducible constituent of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P \rtimes \Gamma _P}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } (\pi \otimes t)$
:
-
(a) is a quotient when $t^{-1} \in T^{P+}$
, -
(b) is a subrepresentation when $t \in T^{P+}$
.
Proof. With (8.14) we can write
where
$\tau $
is an irreducible generic
${\mathcal {H}}^P$
-subrepresentation of
$\pi $
. Notice that Wt
$(\tau ) \subset \mathrm {Wt}(\pi )$
, so that
$\tau $
is also tempered and anti-tempered. By Condition 8.1.ii,iii:
(a) Theorem 7.5.a says that the quotient
$L(P,\tau \otimes t)$
of
$\mathrm {ind}_{{\mathcal {H}}^P}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(\tau \otimes t)$
is generic. By the uniqueness in Theorem 4.3.b,
$\Gamma _{L(P,\tau ,t)} \cap \Gamma _P = \Gamma _{P,\tau \otimes t}$
, which by the remarks following (8.8) equals
$\Gamma _{P,\tau }$
. From (8.13) we know that
Clearly (8.16) is a quotient of the final term in (8.15).
(b) This is analogous to part (a), instead of
$L(P,\tau ,t)$
we use
$\tilde L (P,\tau ,t)$
from Proposition 4.4.
Proposition 8.6. Assume that
$\lambda (\alpha ) \geq \lambda ^* (\alpha ) \geq 0$
for all
$\alpha \in R$
, and let
$t \in T$
. The unique generic irreducible constituent of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
:
-
(a) is a quotient if $|t^{-1}|$
lies in the closure of
$T^{\emptyset +}$
, -
(b) is a subrepresentation if $|t|$
lies in the closure of
$T^{\emptyset +}$
.
Proof. (a) Proposition 7.6.a says that
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
has a generic irreducible quotient, say
$\pi $
. By (8.13),
$\pi \rtimes \det _X$
is the unique generic irreducible
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
-representation that contains
$\pi $
. With Frobenius reciprocity we compute
The right-hand side of (8.17) contains
Hence (8.17) is nonzero, which means that
$\pi \rtimes \det _X$
is a quotient of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma }(t)$
. (b) Proposition 7.6.b yields a generic irreducible subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}}}(t)$
, say
$\sigma $
. From (8.13) we know that
$\sigma \rtimes \det_X $
is a generic irreducible
${\mathcal{H}} \rtimes \Gamma$
-representation. We compute
It follows from Clifford theory, in the version [Reference Solleveld30, Theorem 11.2], that
Hence there exist injective
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma _\sigma $
-homomorphisms
Thus all terms in (8.18) are nonzero, which by irreducibility means that
$\sigma \rtimes \det _X$
is a subrepresentation of
$\mathrm {ind}_{\mathcal A}^{{\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma } (t)$
.
Let us summarize the findings of this section.
Corollary 8.7. Suppose that
$\Gamma $
is as at the start of Section 8, and assume in particular Condition 8.1. All the results of Sections 2–5 generalize to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes {\mathbb {C}}[\Gamma ,\natural ]$
, except Theorem 4.3 and Propositions 4.4, 4.8. Sections 6 and 7 generalize to
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
.
Appendix A. Hecke algebras for simply generic Bernstein blocks
Let G be a reductive p-adic group and let U be the unipotent radical of a minimal parabolic subgroup of G. Let
$\xi $
be a nondegenerate character of U. Let
$P = M U_P$
be a parabolic subgroup of G containing U. Let
$(\sigma ,E)$
be an irreducible unitary supercuspidal M-representation which is simply
$(U \cap M,\xi )$
-generic, that is,
We call
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
with
$\mathfrak s = [M,\sigma ]$
a simply generic Bernstein block for G, because most irreducible representations in there are simply
$(U,\xi )$
-generic. In this appendix we show that
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is equivalent to the module category of an extended affine Hecke algebra.
Let
$(\sigma _1,E_1)$
be the unique irreducible generic
$M^1$
-subrepresentation from (6.4). Recall from [Reference Renard25, §VI.10.1] that
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s} = I_P^G (\mathrm {ind}^M_{M^1} (\sigma _1))$
is a progenerator of
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
. By abstract category theory [Reference Roche26, Theorem 1.8.2.1],
$\mathrm {Rep} (G)^{\mathfrak s}$
is naturally equivalent with
$\mathrm {Mod} (\mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op})$
.
Theorem A.1. In the above simply generic setting,
$\mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})^{op}$
is isomorphic to an extended affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
with q-parameters in
$\mathbb R_{\geq 1}$
. Conditions 5.1’ and 8.1 are satisfied.
Proof. We follow [Reference Solleveld34, §10], with some improvements that are made possible by the simple genericity of
$\sigma $
. Notice that [Reference Solleveld34, Working hypothesis 10.2] holds by (6.4). On the supercuspidal level with
$\Pi _{\mathfrak s_M} = \mathrm {ind}^M_{M^1}(\sigma _1)$
, [Reference Solleveld34, Lemma 10.1] says that
where
$M_\sigma $
is stabilizer of
$E_1$
in M. In [Reference Solleveld34, Lemma 10.3] the multiplicity one of
$\sigma _1$
in
$\sigma $
implies that the operator
$\rho _{\sigma ,w} : E \to E$
automatically stabilizes
$E_1$
. Therefore we may choose as the element
$m_w \in M$
from [Reference Solleveld34, Lemma 10.3.a] just the identity element. We do that for all w in the group
from [Reference Solleveld34], which will play the role of
$W \rtimes \Gamma $
. With that simplification, the 2-cocycle
$\natural _J : W(M,{\mathcal {O}})^2 \to {\mathbb {C}}^\times \times M_\sigma / M^1$
takes values in
${\mathbb {C}}^\times $
. Then [Reference Solleveld34, Theorem 10.9] gives:
-
• an affine Hecke algebra ${\mathcal {H}} = {\mathcal {H}} ({\mathcal {O}},G)$
, with lattice
$M_\sigma / M^1 = X^* ({\mathcal {O}}_3)$
and a reduced root system
$\Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu }$
, -
• parameters $q_\alpha = q_F^{(\lambda (\alpha ) + \lambda ^* (\alpha ))/2}$
and
$q_{\alpha *} = q_F^{(\lambda (\alpha ) - \lambda ^* (\alpha ))/2}$
with
$1 \neq q_\alpha \geq q_{\alpha *} \geq 1$
for all
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu }$
, -
• elements $T^{\prime }_r$
for
$r \in R({\mathcal {O}})$
, such that as vector spaces $$\begin{align*}\mathrm{End}_G (\Pi_{\mathfrak s}) = \bigoplus\nolimits_{r \in R({\mathcal{O}})} {\mathcal{H}} \, T^{\prime}_r. \end{align*}$$
From [Reference Solleveld34, (10.20) and Lemma 10.4.a] we see that these
$T^{\prime }_r$
multiply as in the twisted group algebra
${\mathbb {C}} [R({\mathcal {O}}), \natural _J]$
. Conjugation by
$T^{\prime }_r$
is an automorphism of
${\mathcal {H}} ({\mathcal {O}},G)$
, which by [Reference Solleveld34, Theorem 10.6.a] has the desired effect on
$\mathcal A \cong {\mathbb {C}} [{\mathcal {O}}_3]$
. For a simple root
$\alpha $
, [Reference Solleveld34, (10.24)] shows that
From that and the quadratic relations that
$T_{s_\alpha }$
and
$T^{\prime }_{r^{-1} s_\alpha r} = T^{\prime }_{s_{r^{-1} \alpha }}$
satisfy, we deduce that
$T_r^{'-1} T^{\prime }_{s_\alpha } T_r$
must equal
$T^{\prime }_{r^{-1} s_\alpha r}$
. Altogether this shows that
$\mathrm {End}_G (\Pi _{\mathfrak s})$
is the twisted affine Hecke algebra
${\mathcal {H}} ({\mathcal {O}},G) \rtimes {\mathbb {C}} [R({\mathcal {O}}),\natural _J]$
. There is an isomorphism
which is the identity on
$\mathcal A$
and sends each
$T^{\prime }_w$
with
$w \in W(M,{\mathcal {O}})$
to
$T_w^{'-1}$
. Thus
That brings us almost to the setting of [Reference Solleveld35, §2], with (A.2) and (A.3) the arguments from there work. In particular the Whittaker datum
$(U,\xi )$
can be used to normalize the operators
$T^{\prime }_w$
with
$w \in W(M,{\mathcal {O}})$
, and [Reference Solleveld35, Theorem 2.7] provides canonical algebra isomorphisms
That also finishes the verification of Condition 5.1’. Condition 8.1 was checked in [Reference Solleveld32, §5].
We specialize to the cases where G is quasi-split. It turns out that the q-parameters from Theorem A.1 have an interesting property, which means that
${\mathcal {H}}$
is close to an affine Hecke algebra with equal parameters.
We may assume that
$\sigma $
corresponds to the basepoint of
${\mathcal {O}}_3$
in the proof of Theorem A.1, so that all
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu }$
take the value 1 at
$\sigma $
. Let
$\sigma ' = \sigma \otimes \chi $
be a twist of
$\sigma $
by a unitary unramified character of
$\chi $
of M. Via
$M_\sigma \subset M$
we can consider
$\chi $
as a character of the lattice
$M_\sigma / M^1$
involved in
${\mathcal {H}}$
. We define a set of roots (in fact a root system)
$\Sigma _{\sigma '} \subset \Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu }$
and a parameter function
$k^{\sigma '}$
by
-
• if $s_\alpha (\sigma ') = \sigma '$
and
$\chi (\alpha ) = 1$
, then
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{\sigma '}$
and
$k^{\sigma '}_\alpha = \log (q_\alpha ) / \log (q_F)$
, -
• if $s_\alpha (\sigma ') = \sigma '$
,
$\chi (\alpha ) = -1$
and
$q_{\alpha *} \neq 1$
, then
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{\sigma '}$
and
$k^{\sigma '}_\alpha = \log (q_{\alpha *}) / \log (q_F)$
, -
• $\alpha \notin \Sigma _{\sigma '}$
for other
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu }$
.
With [Reference Lusztig20, Lemma 3.15], it is not difficult to see that
is a root system and that
$\chi (\alpha ) \in \{\pm 1\}$
for every
$\alpha \in \Sigma _{\sigma '}^e$
. By the
$W (\Sigma _{{\mathcal {O}},\mu })$
-invariance of
$\lambda $
and
$\lambda ^*$
, the function
$k^{\sigma '}$
is
$W(\Sigma _{\sigma '}^e)$
-invariant. The set
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}$
is obtained from
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}^e$
by omitting the
$W(\Sigma _{\sigma '}^e)$
-stable collection of roots with
$\chi (\alpha ) = -1$
and
$q_{\alpha *} = 1$
. All such roots are short in a type B irreducible component of
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}^e$
. Thus, for each irreducible component
$R^e$
of
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}^e$
, the part in
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}$
is either
$R^e$
or the set of long roots in
$R^e$
. This shows that
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}$
is really a root system.
By
$W(\Sigma _{\sigma '})$
-invariance, the function
$k^{\sigma '}$
takes the same value on all roots of a fixed length in one irreducible component.
Proposition A.2. Let G be quasi-split and recall the notations from Theorem A.1 and above. Let R be an irreducible component of
$\Sigma _{\sigma '}$
, let
$\alpha \in R$
be short and let
$\beta \in R$
be long. Then
$k^{\sigma '}_\alpha / k^{\sigma '}_\beta $
equals either 1 or the square of the ratio of the lengths of the coroots
$\alpha ^\vee $
and
$\beta ^\vee $
(so equals 1, 2 or 3).
Proof. We recall from [Reference Solleveld34, (3.7)] that the parameters
$q_\alpha $
and
$q_{\alpha *}$
in the proof of Theorem A.1 come from poles of Harish-Chandra’s function
$\mu ^\alpha $
. In the notation from [Reference Solleveld34],
$\mu ^\alpha $
has factors
where
$X_\alpha $
corresponds to evaluation at a certain element
$h_\alpha ^\vee \in M / M^1$
. In [Reference Heiermann and Opdam15] one specializes to twists of
$\sigma '$
by unramified characters with values in
$\mathbb R_{>0}$
, which means that only the left half or the right half in (A.4) remains interesting, the other half is put in a holomorphic function and then ignored. Which of the two halves to choose agrees with how we selected
$q_\alpha $
or
$q_{\alpha *}$
for
$k^{\sigma '}$
. Thus, in the notation of [Reference Heiermann and Opdam15, §3], (A.4) becomes a factor
Hence
$q_\alpha $
or
$q_{\alpha *}$
from [Reference Solleveld34] equals
$q_F^{1 / \epsilon _{\bar \alpha }}$
from [Reference Heiermann and Opdam15], and
$k^{\sigma '}_\alpha = 1 / \epsilon _{\bar \alpha }$
. Now we need to prove that
$\epsilon _{\bar \alpha } / \epsilon _{\bar \beta }$
equals 1 or the square of the ratio of the lengths of
$\alpha $
and
$\beta $
. That is precisely the condition needed in [Reference Heiermann and Opdam15, Theorem 4.1]. It was shown to hold for all generic Bernstein blocks of quasi-split reductive p-adic groups in [Reference Heiermann and Opdam15, §5–6].
Proposition A.2 enables one to reduce the representation theory of
${\mathcal {H}} \rtimes \Gamma $
(as in Theorem A.1) to extended graded Hecke algebras with equal parameters, via [Reference Lusztig20, §8–9] or [Reference Solleveld31, §2.1].
