The spectral category of Hecke algebras and applications
第1講: Reductive p-adic groups and Hecke algebras
[ Abstract ]
Hecke algebras play an important role in the harmonic analysis of a p-adic reductive group. On the other hand, their representation theory and harmonic analysis can be described almost completely explicitly. This makes affine Hecke algebras an ideal tool to study the harmonic analysis of p-adic groups. We will illustrate this in this series of lectures by explaining how various components of the Bernstein center contribute to the level-0 L-packets of tempered representations, purely from the point of view of harmonic analysis.

We define a "spectral category" of (affine) Hecke algebras. The morphisms in this category are not algebra morphisms but are affine morphisms between the associated tori of unramified characters, which are compatible with respect to the so-called Harish-Chandra μ-functions. We show that such a morphism generates a Plancherel measure preserving correspondence between the tempered spectra of the two Hecke algebras involved. We will discuss typical examples of spectral morphisms.
We apply the spectral correspondences of affine Hecke algebras to level-0 representations of a quasi-split simple p-adic group. We will concentrate on the example of the special orthogonal groups $SO_{2n+1}(K)$. We show that all affine Hecke algebras which arise in this context admit a *unique* spectral morphism to the Iwahori-Matsumoto Hecke algebra, a remarkable phenomenon that is crucial for this method. We will recover in this way Lusztig's classification of "unipotent" representations.
