Local Langlands correspondence and ramification for Carayol representations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 September 2019
Abstract
Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of residual characteristic
$p$ with Weil group
${\mathcal{W}}_{F}$. Let
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ be an irreducible smooth complex representation of
${\mathcal{W}}_{F}$, realized as the Langlands parameter of an irreducible cuspidal representation
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$ of a general linear group over
$F$. In an earlier paper we showed that the ramification structure of
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ is determined by the fine structure of the endo-class
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}$ of the simple character contained in
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}$, in the sense of Bushnell and Kutzko. The connection is made via the Herbrand function
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}}$ of
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}$. In this paper we concentrate on the fundamental Carayol case in which
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ is totally wildly ramified with Swan exponent not divisible by
$p$. We show that, for such
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$, the associated Herbrand function satisfies a certain functional equation, and that this property essentially characterizes this class of representations. We calculate
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E9}}$ explicitly, in terms of a classical Herbrand function arising naturally from the classification of simple characters. We describe exactly the class of functions arising as Herbrand functions
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F9}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EF}}$, as
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EF}$ varies over the set of totally wild endo-classes of Carayol type. In a separate argument, we derive a complete description of the restriction of
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ to any ramification subgroup and hence a detailed interpretation of the Herbrand function. This gives concrete information concerning the Langlands correspondence.
