Pro- Iwahori–Hecke algebras are Gorenstein

Abstract

AbstractLet$\mathfrak{F}$be a locally compact nonarchimedean field with residue characteristic$p$, and let$\mathrm{G} $be the group of$\mathfrak{F}$-rational points of a connected split reductive group over$\mathfrak{F}$. For$k$an arbitrary field of any characteristic, we study the homological properties of the Iwahori–Hecke$k$-algebra${\mathrm{H} }^{\prime } $and of the pro-$p$Iwahori–Hecke$k$-algebra$\mathrm{H} $of$\mathrm{G} $. We prove that both of these algebras are Gorenstein rings with self-injective dimension bounded above by the rank of$\mathrm{G} $. If$\mathrm{G} $is semisimple, we also show that this upper bound is sharp, that both$\mathrm{H} $and${\mathrm{H} }^{\prime } $are Auslander–Gorenstein, and that there is a duality functor on the finite length modules of$\mathrm{H} $(respectively${\mathrm{H} }^{\prime } $). We obtain the analogous Gorenstein and Auslander–Gorenstein properties for the graded rings associated to$\mathrm{H} $and${\mathrm{H} }^{\prime } $.When$k$has characteristic$p$, we prove that in ‘most’ cases$\mathrm{H} $and${\mathrm{H} }^{\prime } $have infinite global dimension. In particular, we deduce that the category of smooth$k$-representations of$\mathrm{G} = {\mathrm{PGL} }_{2} ({ \mathbb{Q} }_{p} )$generated by their invariant vectors under the pro-$p$Iwahori subgroup has infinite global dimension (at least if$k$is algebraically closed).
