Origin and Motivation

Origin and Motivation

Hecke algebras were introduced by Shimura (1950’s) inmodern abstract setting, modelled after the famous work ofHecke (1930’s) on Euler products for automorphic forms.

Origin and Motivation

Applicability of Hecke algebras

Hecke algebras have turned out to be widely applicable.Besides in number theory Hecke algebras arise in variousareas of representation theory, in combinatorics, in the theoryof knots, quantum groups, integrable models, orthogonalpolynomials. This represents the work of many mathematicianswith a variety of backgrounds (see the references in theproceedings article...).

Plancherel formula for p-adic reductive groups

Plancherel formula for p-adic reductive groups

The main problem of harmonic analysis on a locally compact,unimodular, type I group G (e.g. a p-adic reductive group):

δ =

∫π∈G

χπdµ(π)

δ is the delta distribution at e ∈ G.µ is called the Plancherel measure of G. It is a positive Radonmeasure on G, unique up to normalization of the Haar measureon G.

Splitting the Plancherel formula in blocks

Hecke algebras assist by breaking up this problem in moremanageable blocks.

For finite reductive groups this was exploited verysuccessfully (Howlett, Lehrer, Lusztig,...).In this talk we want to study this method to p-adic groups.For a reductive p-adic group G the main underlying idea forthis to work is the Bernstein decomposition theorem of thecategory of smooth representations of G.

Describing blocks by affine Hecke algebras

Due to the work of many (e.g. Borel, Bushnell, Kutzko, Morris,Lusztig, Prasad, Moy,...) the Bernstein blocks are often knownto be equivalent to the representation category of certainexplicit affine Hecke algebras, the so-called affineIwahori-Matsumoto Hecke algebras or simply affine Heckealgebras.

Definition of the affine Hecke algebra

The affine Hecke algebra H is the complex, unital associativealgebra with basis Nw (w ∈ W ) and relations:

If u, v ∈ W and l(uv) = l(u) + l(v) then NuNv = Nuv .For all affine simple reflections s ∈ S:

(Ns − q(s)1/2)(Ns + q(s)−1/2) = 0

for certain positive real numbers q(s) (s ∈ S) such thatq(s) = q(s′) if s ∼ s′ in W .

The affine Hecke algebra H(W ,q) is a deformation of thegroup algebra C[W ] of the affine Weyl group, in thepositive parameters q(s).

Implications for Root Systems

Bound on Pole Order (to appear)For any coset L of a subtorus of T the pole order oL along L isat most equal to codim(L). Explicitly:

oL := |α ∈ R0 | α|L = qα∨| − |α ∈ R0 | α|L = 1| ≤ codim(L)

Parabolic induction of residual cosetsLet L be a residual coset, and let RL ⊂ R0 be the subset ofroots which are constant on L. Then rank(RL) = codim(L) andthere exists a RL-residual point (i.e. a zero dimensional residualcoset) rL ∈ TL such that L = rLT L.

Reduction to discrete series

Let ∆ = ∪P(P,∆(HP)) (P standard parabolic subset), with∆(HP) the set of irreducible discrete series of HP . Then W actson this set by twisting, and this defines a finite groupoid W∆.

If we would be interested in Supp(µPl) only up to µPl 0-setsthen it is enough to determine W∆, because thisdetermines WΞ.Problem A’: Determine the finite groupoid W∆.To describe Supp(µPl) precisely we will need slightly moreinformation: Choose a realization (Vδ, δ) for each class(P, [δ]) in ∆, and an intertwining isomorphismδw : Vδ → Vδ′ for each twisting isomorphism w : HP → HQ.This yields a projective unitary representation δ of W∆,unique up to natural isomorphisms. Let η∆ ∈ H2(W∆,C×)be its cohomology class.Problem A: Determine W∆ and η∆.

Definition: Analytic R-groups (Delorme-O.)

For each orbit ξ ∈ Ξ we define (up to isomorphism) an analyticR-group Rξ ⊂ Wξ,ξ depending on the density of µPl at ξ.In addition we define a 2-cocycle ηξ for Rξ in terms of η∆ (recallProblem A).

Knapp-Stein type Theorem (Delorme-O.)

The module π(ξ) is a unitary S − C[Rξ, ηξ]-bimodule whichdefines a Morita equivalenceEξ : Mod(C[Rξ, ηξ]) → ModWξ,unitary(S).

Outline

The remaining part of this talk

In the remaining part of this talk I want to discuss conjectures innoncommutative geometry which might help to solve problemsA and B. This approach is different from the algebro-geometricapproach but based on deformations in the parameters q(s).We expect this to be especially useful (effective) in unequallabel cases.We will assume (for simplicity) from here on that the root datumis semisimple, i.e. that QR0 = Q⊗ X .

The Euler-Poincaré map

Theorem (O., Reeder) (unpublished)Every H-module of finite length has homological dimension≤ dimC(T ). In fact we have defined an explicit functorF : Modfl(H) → Kb(H) (the category of bounded complexes ofprojective H-modules), together with a projective resolutionF•(V ) → V → 0.

Change of base ring

Let K0(H) be Grothendieck group of the finitely generatedprojective H modules, and let G(S) be the Grothendieck groupof the S-modules of finite length. We have naturalhomomorphisms β : K0(H) → K0(S) (change of base ring) andρ : G(S) → G(H) (forget tempered).

Theorem (after Arthur)The equivalence Eξ induces a linear isomorphismG(Eξ) : GC(Rξ, ηξ) → GC(S)Wξ. Via G(Eξ) the specializationElltempWξ = Elltemp⊗ZSCWξ corresponds to the space Ell(Rξ, ηξ)

of η-twisted class functions of Rξ which have support on the setof elliptic conjugacy classes of Rξ, i.e. the elements r ∈ Rξ forwhich ξ is an isolated fixed point.

Corollary

The space Elltemp is a finite dimensional semisimpleZS = C∞(Ξ)W -module.

The index pairing

Definition of the index pairing

There is a natural “index pairing” [·, ·] : K0(S)×G(S) → Zdefined as follows: given an idempotent p ∈ Mn(C)⊗ S and a(V , π) ∈ Modfl(S) we set [p, [π]] := rank((Id⊗π)(p)).

The discrete part K discr0 (S) ⊂ K C

0 (S) of K0(S)

We define the support of a class [α] ∈ K C0 (S) to be the subset

Wξ ∈ W\Ξ | ∃π ∈ GCWξ(S) : [α, [π]] 6= 0.

We define K discr0 (S) ⊂ K C

0 (S) to be the subspace of classeswhose support has dimension 0.

Conjecture A (“Arthur type formula”)

Let φ, ψ ∈ Ell(Rξ, ηξ) be elliptic twisted characters of Rξ. Then

〈G(Eξ)(φ),G(Eξ)(ψ)〉el = |Rξ|−1∑r∈Rξ

det(1− r)φ(r)ψ(r)

Elliptic representations with distinct tempered central characterare orthogonal.

RemarkThe pairing on Ell(Rξ, ηξ) is positive definite (since the supportof the function det(1− r) is exactly equal to the set of ellipticconjugacy classes of Rξ).

K-theory and index functions

This conjecture is the analogue of well known results forp-adic groups.Kazhdan conjectured that the elliptic pairing of ellipticcharacters of a p-adic reductive group G can be rewrittenas integral over the set of regular semisimple ellipticconjugacy classes of G with respect to a canonicalmeasure dµ.The Kazdan conjecture was proved by Bezrukavnikov, andindependently by Schneider-Stuhler.Arthur derived the pairing in terms of analytic R-groupsfrom this integral over the elliptic classes, using the localtrace formula.For the Hecke algebra H the intermediate step, the integralover the regular elliptic conjugacy classes make no sense.Also these results are based on the theory of orbitalintegrals, which is not available for Hecke algebras.

Corollary

The Hermitian pairing 〈·, ·〉el on Elltemp is positive definite.

Corollary

ε : Elltemp → K discr0 (S) is an anti-linear isomorphism.

Corollary

The irreducible discrete series representations (U, δ) ∈ ∆(H)give rise to an orthonormal set of vectors [U] in Elltemp.

Index function

Let (U, δ) ∈ Modfl(S). There exists an index function fU ∈ H forU such that for any virtual tempered character χ ∈ GC(S) wehave 〈χU , χ〉el = χ(fU).

Towards problem A: Finding the support of µPl

Assume that q(s) = qfs for all s ∈ S and fixed fs ∈ R. Givena tempered irreducible representation (V , π) of H, thereexists a unique continuous family (V , π(q)) (with q > 1) oftempered irreducible representations of H(q) such that theunitary part of the central character of π(q) is independentof q. The limit π(1) exists and is a tempered representation(not semisimple, in general) of H(1) = C[W ].This defines a linear map evq→1 : G(S(q)) → G(S(W )),preserving all “K-types” (Tits’ deformation lemma) andsending GI(S(q)) to GI(S(W )).

Consequence of Conjecture A

The induced map evq→1,el is isometry for 〈·, ·〉el , and thusinjective on Elltemp(q).

Towards problem A: Describing the support of µPl

Maarten Solleveld has defined a homomorphismα(q) : K0(S(W )) → K0(S(q)), using the continuous family ofFréchet algebras S(q) and the fact that the Fréchet algebrasS(q) and S(q′) are isomorphic for any q,q′ > 1.

Consequence of Conjecture A

We have αC(q)(K discr0 (SW )) ⊂ K discr

0 (S(q)), andε−1q αC(q) εq=1 is the adjoint of evq→1,el . In particular, this

restriction of αC(q) to K discr0 (SW ) is onto K discr

0 (S(q))

Conjecture B: The invariance of the groups K0(S(q))

The linear map αC(q) is an isomorphism.

For equal parameters this follows from general results ofMaarten Solleveld combined with a Theorem of Baum andNistor for the periodic cyclic homology HP∗(H).

Solleveld proved that the Chern character yields anisomorphism ch : K C

∗ (S)∼−→ HP∗(S).

Solleveld also proved HP∗(S) ' HP∗(H).Baum and Nistor proved that HP∗(H) ' HP∗(C[W ]) (Hwith equal parameters). With Solleveld’s results thisimplies the conjecture for this case.For Hecke algebras of reductive p-adic groups thisconjecture is stated by Baum, Connes and Higson (1994)in relation to the Baum-Connes conjecture.

evq→1,el : Elltemp(S(q)) → Elltemp(S(W )) (2)

This was proved by Reeder for equal parameters and X = P. Itwas shown in greater generality by Waldspurger (I think).

Refinement of Conjecture C

The family q → Elltemp(S(q)) of semisimpleZ ' C[T ]W0-modules is continuous.

We assume X = Zn, R0 = ±ei ,±ei ± ej) The orbits ofresidual points for generic parameters q = (q1,q2,q3) areparametrized by ordered pairs (λ, µ) of partitions with|λ|+ |µ| = n (easy).On the other hand, the elliptic conjugacy classes of theR-groups for q = (1,1,1) (the group algebra of the affineWeyl group) are also parameterized by pairs (κ, ν) of|κ|+ |ν| = n (easy).But we know that each residual orbit carries at least oneirreducible discrete series representation!Hence Conjecture C implies: in the generic case, eachorbit of residual points carries one irreducible discreteseries representation.

For non generic q0: we can still easily parameterize theorbits W0r of residual points. But what about ∆W0r ?By Conjecture C (refined): the set ∆W0r is in bijection withthe set of generic residual orbits which coincide with W0rwhen we specialize at q = q0.This determines the action of W on ∆(q = q0).One easily proves that always η∆ = 1.Using the theory of the analytic R-group we can nowreconstruct the tempered dual.
