Abstract
In 1979, Lusztig proposed a cohomological construction of supercuspidal representations of reductive p-adic groups, analogous to Deligne–Lusztig theory for finite reductive groups. In this paper we establish a new instance of Lusztig’s program. Precisely, let X be the Deligne–Lusztig (ind-pro-)scheme associated to a division algebra D over a non-Archimedean local field K of positive characteristic. We study the $$D^\times $$ -representations $$H_\bullet (X)$$ by establishing a Deligne–Lusztig theory for families of finite unipotent groups that arise as subquotients of $$D^\times $$ . There is a natural correspondence between quasi-characters of the (multiplicative group of the) unramified degree-n extension of K and representations of $$D^{\times }$$ given by $$\theta \mapsto H_\bullet (X)[\theta ]$$ . For a broad class of characters $$\theta ,$$ we show that the representation $$H_\bullet (X)[\theta ]$$ is irreducible and concentrated in a single degree. After explicitly constructing a Weil representation from $$\theta $$ using $$\chi $$ -data, we show that the resulting correspondence matches the bijection given by local Langlands and therefore gives a geometric realization of the Jacquet–Langlands transfer between representations of division algebras.
