Koszul duality for generalised Steinberg representations of $p$-adic groups

Representation Theory 2025-06-05 v3

Abstract

Let GG be a semisimple group, split over a non-Archimedean field FF. We prove that the category of modules over the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations of G(F)G(F) is equivalent to a full subcategory of equivariant perverse sheaves on the variety of Langlands parameters for these representations. Specifically, we establish an equivalence Mod(ExtG(Σλ,Σλ))PerG^(Xλ), \textbf{Mod}(\text{Ext}_G^\bullet(\Sigma_\lambda, \Sigma_\lambda)) \simeq \textbf{Per}_{\widehat{G}}^\circ(X_\lambda), where Σλ\Sigma_\lambda is the direct sum of generalised Steinberg representations and PerG^(Xλ)\textbf{Per}_{\widehat{G}}^\circ(X_\lambda) is the subcategory of perverse sheaves on the variety of Langlands parameters XλX_\lambda corresponding to these representations under Vogan's geometrisation of the Langlands correspondence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this equivalence is a true Koszul duality by showing that the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations is Koszul dual to the endomorphism algebra of the direct sum of corresponding equivariant perverse sheaves, taken in the equivariant derived category DG^b(Xλ)D_{\widehat{G}}^b(X_\lambda).
