Abstract

We construct some Iwahori types, in the sense of Bushnell-Kutzko, for the double cover of an almost simple simply-laced simply-connected Chevalley group G~\widetilde{G} over any 22-adic field. These types capture the covering group analog of the Bernstein block of unramified principal series. We also prove that the associated Hecke algebra essentially admits an Iwahori-Matsumoto (IM) presentation. The complete presentation is obtained for types ArA_{r}, D2r+1D_{2r+1}, E6E_{6}, E7E_{7}; for the other types, some technical obstacles remain. Those Hecke algebras with the complete IM presentation are isomorphic to Iwahori-Hecke algebras of explicit linear Chevalley groups, giving rise to Shimura correspondences. Along the way, we show that the Iwahori type extends to a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup K~G~\widetilde{K}\subseteq \widetilde{G}. This extension has minimal depth among the genuine K~\widetilde{K}-representations and allows us to construct a finite Shimura correspondence, generalizing a result of Savin.
