Regular characters of groups of type \(\mathsf{A}_n\) over discrete valuation rings. (English) Zbl 1427.20012

Summary: Let \(\mathfrak{o}\) be a complete discrete valuation ring with finite residue field \(k\) of odd characteristic. Let \(\mathbf{G}\) be a general or special linear group or a unitary group defined over \(\mathfrak{o}\) and let \(\mathfrak{g}\) denote its Lie algebra. For every positive integer \(\ell\), let \(\mathsf{K}^\ell\) be the \(\ell\)-th principal congruence subgroup of \(\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{o})\). A continuous irreducible representation of \(\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{o})\) is called regular of level \(\ell\) if it is trivial on \(\mathsf{K}^{\ell+1}\) and its restriction to \(\mathsf{K}^\ell/\mathsf{K}^{\ell+1} \simeq \mathfrak{g}(k)\) consists of characters with \(\mathbf{G}(\overline{k})\)-stabiliser of minimal dimension. In this paper we construct the regular characters of \(\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{o})\), compute their degrees and show that the latter satisfy Ennola duality. We give explicit uniform formulae for the regular part of the representation zeta functions of these groups.
