Abstract

The Kazhdan Lusztig isomorphism, relating the affine Hecke algebra of a pp-adic group to the equivariant KK theory of the Steinberg variety of its Langlands dual, played a key role in the proof of the Deligne Langlands conjectures concerning the classification of smooth irreducible representations with an Iwahori fixed vector. In this work we state and prove a relative version of the Kazhdan Lusztig isomorphism for the symmetric pair (GL2n,Sp2n)(GL_{2n},Sp_{2n}). The relative isomorphism is an isomorphism between the module of compactly supported Iwahori invariant functions on X=GL2n/Sp2nX=GL_{2n}/Sp_{2n} and another module over the affine Hecke algebra constructed using equivariant KK theory and the relative Langlands duality. We use this isomorphism to give a new proof of a condition on XX distinguished representations.
