Abstract

Let p>2p>2 be a prime number. Let G:=GL2(Qp)G:=GL_2(Q_p) and π\pi, τ\tau smooth irreducible representations of GG on Fˉp\bar{F}_p-vector spaces with a central character. We show if π\pi is supersingular then ExtG1(τ,π)0Ext^1_G(\tau,\pi)\neq 0 implies τπ\tau\cong \pi. This answers affirmatively for p>2p>2 a question of Colmez. We also determine ExtG1(τ,π)Ext^1_G(\tau,\pi), when π\pi is the Steinberg representation. As a consequence of our results combined with those already in the literature one knows ExtG1(τ,π)Ext^1_G(\tau,\pi) for all irreducible representations of GG.
