Abstract

Let FF be a non-Archimedean local field. Let \CalWF\Cal W_F be the Weil group of FF and \CalPF\Cal P_F the wild inertia subgroup of \scrWF\scr W_F. Let \CalW^F\hat{\Cal W}_F be the set of equivalence classes of irreducible smooth representations of \CalWF\Cal W_F. Let \CalAn0(F)\Cal A^0_n(F) denote the set of equivalence classes of irreducible cuspidal representations of \romanGLn(F)\roman{GL}_n(F) and set \romanGL^F=n1\CalAn0(F)\hat{\roman{GL}}_F = \bigcup_{n\ge1} \Cal A^0_n(F). If σ\CalW^F\sigma\in \hat{\Cal W}_F, let \uprLσ\romanGL^F\upr L\sigma \in \hat{\roman{GL}}_F be the cuspidal representation matched with σ\sigma by the Langlands Correspondence. If σ\sigma is totally wildly ramified, in that its restriction to \CalPF\Cal P_F is irreducible, we treat \uprLσ\upr L\sigma as known. From that starting point, we construct an explicit bijection N:\CalW^F\romanGL^F\Bbb N:\hat{\Cal W}_F \to \hat{\roman{GL}}_F, sending σ\sigma to \uprNσ\upr N\sigma. We compare this "na\"ive correspondence" with the Langlands correspondence and so achieve an effective description of the latter, modulo the totally wildly ramified case. A key tool is a novel operation of "internal twisting" of a suitable representation π\pi (of \CalWF\Cal W_F or \romanGLn(F)\roman{GL}_n(F)) by tame characters of a tamely ramified field extension of FF, canonically associated to π\pi. We show this operation is preserved by the Langlands correspondence.
