It has been shown that for several nilpotent Gelfand pairs (N,K) (i.e., with N a nilpotent Lie group, K a compact group of automorphisms of N and the algebra L^1(N)^K commutative) the spherical transform establishes a 1-to-1 correspondence…

Lusztig proved that the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis of a spherical Hecke algebra can be essentially identified with the Weyl characters of the Langlands dual group. We generalize this result to the unequal parameter case. The new proof is pretty…

We define the spherical Hecke algebra H for an almost split Kac-Moody group G over a local non-archimedean field. We use the hovel I associated to this situation, which is the analogue of the Bruhat-Tits building for a reductive group. The…

Let $E/F$ be a quadratic extension of non-archimedean local fields of characteristic different from $2$. Let $A$ be an $F$-central simple algebra of even dimension so that it contains $E$ as a subfield, set $G=A^\times$ and $H$ for the…

It is well known that the pair $(\mathcal{S}_n,\mathcal{S}_{n-1})$ is a Gelfand pair where $\mathcal{S}_n$ is the symmetric group on $n$ elements. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite group then $(G\wr \mathcal{S}_n, G\wr…

We study the local Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}_{G}(K)$ for $G = \mathrm{GL}_n$ and $K$ a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. We show that for $G = \mathrm{GL}_2$ and any two such fields $K$ and $L$, there is a Morita…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a split algebrac group of type $E_n$ defined over a $p$-adic field. This group contains a dual pair $G \times G'$ where one of the groups is of type $G_2$. The minimal representation of $\mathbf{G}$, when restricted to…
