Automorphic L-invariants for reductive groups

Abstract

Let GG be a reductive group over a number field FF, which is split at a finite place p\mathfrak{p} of FF, and let π\pi be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GG, which is cohomological with respect to the trivial coefficient system and Steinberg at p\mathfrak{p}. We use the cohomology of p\mathfrak{p}-arithmetic subgroups of GG to attach automorphic L\mathcal{L}-invariants to π\pi. This generalizes a construction of Darmon (respectively Spie\ss), who considered the case G=GL2G=GL_2 over the rationals (respectively over a totally real number field). These L\mathcal{L}-invariants depend a priori on a choice of degree of cohomology, in which the representation π\pi occurs. We show that they are independent of this choice provided that the π\pi-isotypical part of cohomology is cyclic over Venkatesh's derived Hecke algebra. Further, we show that automorphic L\mathcal{L}-invariants can be detected by completed cohomology. Combined with a local-global compatibility result of Ding it follows that for certain representations of definite unitary groups the automorphic L\mathcal{L}-invariants are equal to the Fontaine-Mazur L\mathcal{L}-invariants of the associated Galois representation.
