Jordan induction for GLn(𝒪)
Abstract
Let 𝒪 be a complete discrete valuation ring with a finite residue field. We introduce a simple framework of constructing smooth representations of GLn(𝒪) modulo the knowledge of nilpotent orbits, called Jordan induction, which enjoys several remarkable properties: It yields only irreducible representations, it yields all the even level irreducible representations, and up to conjugation it yields non-isomorphic representations. In the even level case, this gives an explicit realisation of Hill's analogue of Lusztig's Jordan decomposition, as well as a vast generalisation of Gérardin's construction for GLn(𝒪). As a simple application, we construct an explicit section to the orbit map. We also propose a conjecture linking Jordan induction and Lusztig induction, aiming at generalising the algebraisation theorem obtained in recent joint works with Stasinski.
