Lifting of characters on p-adic orthogonal and metaplectic groups

SUPERCUSPIDAL CHARACTERS OF REDUCTIVE p-ADIC GROUPS

We compute the characters of many supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups. Specifically, we deal with representations that arise via Yu’s construction from data satisfying a certain compactness condition. Each character is expressed in terms of a depth-zero character of a smaller group, the (linear) characters appearing in Yu’s construction, Fourier transforms of orbital integr...

Semisimple characters for p-adic classical groups

Let G be a unitary, symplectic or orthogonal group over a non-archimedean local field of residual characteristic different from 2, considered as the fixed point subgroup in a general linear group G̃ of an involution. Following [7] and [13], we generalize the notion of a semisimple character for G̃ and for G. In particular, following the formalism of [4], we show that these semisimple characters h...

On lifting characters in finite groups

p-adic Hurwitz groups

Herrlich showed that a Mumford curve of genus g > 1 over the p-adic complex field Cp has at most 48(g− 1), 24(g− 1), 30(g− 1) or 12(g− 1) automorphisms as p = 2, 3, 5 or p > 5. The Mumford curves attaining these bounds are uniformised by normal subgroups of finite index in certain p-adic triangle groups ∆p for p ≤ 5, or in a p-adic quadrangle group p for p > 5. The finite groups attaining these...
