The local Langlands correspondence for inner forms of $SL_n$

Representation Theory 2016-12-09 v3

Abstract

Let F be a non-archimedean local field. We establish the local Langlands correspondence for all inner forms of the group SLn(F)SL_n (F). It takes the form of a bijection between, on the one hand, conjugacy classes of Langlands parameters for SLn(F)SL_n (F) enhanced with an irreducible representation of an S-group and, on the other hand, the union of the spaces of irreducible admissible representations of all inner forms of SLn(F)SL_n (F). An analogous result is shown in the archimedean case. To settle the case where F has positive characteristic, we employ the method of close fields. We prove that this method is compatible with the local Langlands correspondence for inner forms of GLn(F)GL_n (F), when the fields are close enough compared to the depth of the representations.

Comments

In the second version Theorem 5.3 was restricted to n' = n-1 and the proof was modified accordingly. Also references to the work of Ganapathy were added. It turned out that the proof of Theorem 4.4 in versions 1 and 2 was incorrect and beyond repair, so we removed this result in version 3. Consequently Theorems 4.4 and 6.1 (from v1 and v2) only remain valid with worse lower bounds
