Block decompositions for $p$-adic classical groups and their inner forms
Abstract
For an inner form of a general linear group or classical group over a non-archimedean local field of odd residue characteristic, we decompose the category of smooth representations on -modules by endo-parameter. We prove that parabolic induction preserves these decompositions, and hence that it preserves endo-parameters. Moreover, we show that the decomposition by endo-parameter is the -block decomposition; and, for an integral domain, introduce a graph whose connected components parameterize the -blocks, in particular including the cases and for . From our description, we deduce that the -blocks and -blocks of are in natural bijection, as had long been expected. Our methods also apply to the trivial endo-parameter (i.e., the depth zero subcategory) of any connected reductive -adic group, providing an alternative approach to results of Dat and Lanard in depth zero. Finally, under a technical assumption (known for inner forms of general linear groups) we reduce the -block decomposition of to depth zero.
