Lefschetz operator and local Langlands modulo \(\ell\): the limit case. (English) Zbl 1329.11126
Let \(K\) be a finite extension of \(\mathbb Q_p\) with residue field \(\mathbb F_q\). Let \(\ell\) be a prime such that \(q\equiv 1\) (mod \(\ell\)). The author investigates the cohomology of the Lubin-Tate towers of \(K\) with coefficients in \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\), and it shows how this cohomology encodes Vignéras’ Langlands correspondence for unipotent \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\)-representations. This paper is part of a project, outlined by the author in [Compos. Math. 148, No. 2, 507–530 (2012; Zbl 1247.14025)], that aims at providing a geometric interpretation of the Vignéras correspondence for modulo-\(\ell\) representations of \(p\)-adic linear groups.
The introduction to this paper, which occupies almost a quarter of the paper, explains in detail the problem: “…M.-F. Vignéras [Invent. Math. 144, No. 1, 177–223 (2001; Zbl 1031.11068)] established a bijection between (classes of) irreducible smooth \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\)-representations of \(\mathrm{GL}(d,K)\) and (classes of) \(d\)-dimensional Weil-Deligne \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\)-representations for \(K\). On the one hand we have fairly natural ‘automorphic objects’, but on the other hand we get fairly unnatural ‘Galois objects’. Indeed, the nilpotent part of a Weil-Deligne \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\)-representation has no obvious Galois interpretation, in contrast with \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\)-representations, where it is related to the infinitesimal action of the tame inertia subgroup on some associated continuous Arthur’s second \(\mathrm{SL}(2)\) factor in the theory of automorphic forms representation of the Weil group. Therefore in the \(\overline{\mathbb F}_\ell\) case, this nilpotent part appears as an ‘extra datum’, from the arithmetic point of view. In fact, Vignéras’ correspondence was obtained by purely representation-theoretic arguments (a classification theorem à la Zelevinsky), and our aim is to find a geometric interpretation for it.” The paper proceeds to describe the author’s approach, using Carayol’s formulation of “nonabelian Lubin-Tate theory”, and the cohomology of the Lubin-Tate tower, and the role of Arthur’s second \(\mathrm{SL}(2)\) factor in the theory of automorphic forms. In addition to the results, the author describes previous results, those of the present paper, and sketches the argument.
