Representations of a reductive p-adic group in characteristic distinct from p

Abstract

We investigate the irreducible cuspidal $C$-representations of a reductive $p$-adic group $G$ over a field $C$ of characteristic different from $p$. When $C$ is algebraically closed, for many groups $G$, a list of cuspidal $C$-types $(J,\lambda)$ has been produced satisfying exhaustion, sometimes for a restricted kind of cuspidal representations, and often unicity. We verify that those lists verify Aut($C$)-stability and we produce similar lists when $C$ is no longer assumed algebraically closed. Our other main results concern supercuspidality. This notion makes sense for the representations $\lambda$ in the cuspidal $C$-types $(J,\lambda)$ as above, which involve finite reductive groups. We check that an irreducible cuspidal representation of $G$ induced from $\lambda$ is supercuspidal if and only $\lambda$ is supercuspidal.
