TYPES IN SLn

Abstract

Let $G = SL_n(F)$ where $F$ is a non-Archimedean local field. This paper concerns the smooth (complex) representation theory of $G$, specifically, the construction of types in $G$, in the sense of Bushnell and Kutzko. The main result describes a type for each non-supercuspidal component of the Bernstein decomposition of $G$. If this is combined with earlier work of Bushnell and Kutzko, it follows that $G$ admits a complete set of types. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 22E50.
