Abstract

Let FF be a locally compact non-Archimedean field of characteristic 00, and let GG be either the split special orthogonal group SO2n+1(F)\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}(F) or the symplectic group Sp2n(F)\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}(F). The goal of this paper is to give an explicit description of the Aubert-Zelevinsky duality for GG in terms of Langlands parameters. We present a new algorithm, inspired by the Moeglin-Waldspurger algorithm for GLn(F)\mathrm{GL}_n(F), which computes the dual Langlands data in a recursive and combinatorial way. Our method is simple enough to be carried out by hand and provides a practical tool for explicit computations. Interestingly, the algorithm was discovered with the help of machine learning tools, guiding us toward patterns that led to its formulation.
