Abstract

Let G be a reductive p-adic group and let Rep(G)^s be a Bernstein block in the category of smooth complex G-representations. We investigate the structure of Rep(G)^s, by analysing the algebra of G-endomorphisms of a progenerator \Pi of that category. We show that Rep(G)^s is "almost" Morita equivalent with a (twisted) affine Hecke algebra. This statement is made precise in several ways, most importantly with a family of (twisted) graded algebras. It entails that, as far as finite length representations are concerned, Rep(G)^s and End_G (\Pi)-Mod can be treated as the module category of a twisted affine Hecke algebra. We draw two consequences. Firstly, we show that the equivalence of categories between Rep(G)^s and End_G (\Pi)-Mod preserves temperedness of finite length representations. Secondly, we provide a classification of the irreducible representations in Rep(G)^s, in terms of the complex torus and the finite group canonically associated to Rep(G)^s. This proves a version of the ABPS conjecture and enables us to express the set of irreducible GG-representations in terms of the supercuspidal representations of the Levi subgroups of GG. Our methods are independent of the existence of types, and apply in complete generality.

Comments

New in second version: - compatibility of the constructions with parabolic induction is discusssed - the presentation of the arguments for temperedness is improved - a paragraph about a smaller progenerator of Rep(G)^s, and how that works out in the non-cuspidal case. In 2023 a problem with the part on temperedness in paragraph 9.1 surfaced. This is repaired in an appendix to version 3
