Abstract

Let O{\mathcal O} be an involutive discrete valuation ring with residue field of characteristic not 2. Let AA be a quotient of O{\mathcal O} by a nonzero power of its maximal ideal and let * be the involution that AA inherits from O{\mathcal O}. We consider various unitary groups Um(A){\mathcal U}_m(A) of rank mm over AA, depending on the nature of * and the equivalence type of the underlying hermitian or skew hermitian form. Each group Um(A){\mathcal U}_m(A) gives rise to a Weil representation. In this paper, we give a Clifford theory description of all irreducible components of the Weil representation of Um(A){\mathcal U}_m(A) with respect to all of its abelian congruence subgroups and a third of its nonabelian congruence subgroups.
