Local Langlands correspondence for unitary groups via theta lifts

Using the theta correspondence, we extend the classification of irreducible representations of quasi-split unitary groups (the so-called local Langlands correspondence, which is due to Mok) to non quasi-split unitary groups. We also prove that our classification satisfies some good properties, which characterize it uniquely. In particular, this paper provides an alternative approach to the works of Kaletha-Mínguez-Shin-White and Mœglin-Renard.

THE COHOMOLOGY OF UNRAMIFIED RAPOPORT–ZINK SPACES OF EL-TYPE AND HARRIS'S CONJECTURE

We study the l-adic cohomology of unramified Rapoport–Zink spaces of EL-type. These spaces were used in Harris and Taylor's proof of the local Langlands correspondence for $\mathrm {GL_n}$ and to show local–global compatibilities of the Langlands correspondence. In this paper we consider certain morphisms $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }$ of Grothendieck groups of representations constructed from the cohomology of these spaces, as studied by Harris and Taylor, Mantovan, Fargues, Shin and others. Due to earlier work of Fargues and Shin we have a description of $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ a supercuspidal representation. In this paper, we give a conjectural formula for $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ an admissible representation and prove it when $\rho $ is essentially square-integrable. Our proof works for general $\rho $ conditionally on a conjecture appearing in Shin's work. We show that our description agrees with a conjecture of Harris in the case of parabolic inductions of supercuspidal representations of a Levi subgroup.

A quotient of the Lubin–Tate tower II

In this article we construct the quotient $$\mathcal {M}_\mathbf {1}/P(K)$$ M 1 / P ( K ) of the infinite-level Lubin–Tate space $$\mathcal {M}_\mathbf {1}$$ M 1 by the parabolic subgroup $$P(K) \subset \mathrm {GL} _n(K)$$ P ( K ) ⊂ GL n ( K ) of block form $$(n-1,1)$$ ( n - 1 , 1 ) as a perfectoid space, generalizing the results of Ludwig (Forum Math Sigma 5:e17, 41, 2017) to arbitrary n and $$K/{\mathbb {Q}} _p$$ K / Q p finite. For this we prove some perfectoidness results for certain Harris–Taylor Shimura varieties at infinite level. As an application of the quotient construction we show a vanishing theorem for Scholze’s candidate for the mod p Jacquet–Langlands and mod p local Langlands correspondence. An appendix by David Hansen gives a local proof of perfectoidness of $$\mathcal {M}_\mathbf {1}/P(K)$$ M 1 / P ( K ) when $$n=2$$ n = 2 , and shows that $$\mathcal {M}_\mathbf {1}/Q(K)$$ M 1 / Q ( K ) is not perfectoid for maximal parabolics Q not conjugate to P.

Endo-parameters for p-adic classical groups

For a classical group over a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic p, we prove that two cuspidal types, defined over an algebraically closed field $${\mathbf {C}}$$ C of characteristic different from p, intertwine if and only if they are conjugate. This completes work of the first and third authors who showed that every irreducible cuspidal $${\mathbf {C}}$$ C -representation of a classical group is compactly induced from a cuspidal type. We generalize Bushnell and Henniart’s notion of endo-equivalence to semisimple characters of general linear groups and to self-dual semisimple characters of classical groups, and introduce (self-dual) endo-parameters. We prove that these parametrize intertwining classes of (self-dual) semisimple characters and conjecture that they are in bijection with wild Langlands parameters, compatibly with the local Langlands correspondence.

Local Langlands Correspondence for Regular Supercuspidal Representations of GL(n)

In this paper, we prove the coincidence of Kaletha’s recent construction of the local Langlands correspondence for regular supercuspidal representations with Harris–Taylor’s one in the case of general linear groups. The keys are Bushnell–Henniart’s essentially tame local Langlands correspondence and Tam’s result on Bushnell–Henniart’s rectifiers. By combining them, our problem is reduced to an elementary root-theoretic computation on the difference between Kaletha’s and Tam’s $\chi $-data.

Local intertwining relation for metaplectic groups

In an earlier paper of Wee Teck Gan and Gordan Savin, the local Langlands correspondence for metaplectic groups over a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero was established. In this paper, we formulate and prove a local intertwining relation for metaplectic groups assuming the local intertwining relation for non-quasi-split odd special orthogonal groups.
