Decomposed Levi subgroups in BD-covers of classical groups

Representation Theory 2025-09-30 v1

Abstract

For finite topological central extensions of pp-adic classical groups, Heiermann and Wu introduced the notion of decomposed Levi subgroups in their study of intertwining algebras. In this note, we show that for symplectic and special orthogonal groups over local fields, except the split SO(4)\mathrm{SO}(4), all Levi subgroups are decomposed if the central extension arises from the Brylinski-Deligne construction. Discussions for certain unitary groups, SO(4)\mathrm{SO}(4) and GSpin(2n+1)\mathrm{GSpin}(2n+1) are also given.
