Parahoric restriction is the parahoric analogue of Jacquet's functor. Fix an arbitrary parahoric subgroup of the group GSp(4, F ) of symplectic similitudes of genus two over a local number field F/Q p . We determine the parahoric restriction of the non-cuspidal irreducible smooth representations in terms of explicit character values.
IntroductionFor a reductive connected group G over a local number field F/Q p , with group of Fvalued points G = G(F ), fix a compact parahoric subgroup P ⊆ G with pro-unipotent radical P + . The parahoric restriction functor between categories of admissible representationsis the parahoric analogue of Jacquet's functor of parabolic restriction. It assigns to an admissible representation (ρ, V ) of G the action of the Levi quotient P/P + on the space of invariants under P + . The functor is exact and factors over semisimplification, so it is sufficient to study irreducible admissible representations.For the group G = GSp(4) of symplectic similitudes of genus two, we determine the parahoric restriction of non-cuspidal irreducible admissible representations in terms of explicit character values for the finite Levi quotient P/P + . This has applications in the theory of Siegel modular forms of genus two, invariant under principal congruence subgroups of squarefree level.
Main resultFor a proper parabolic subgroup of G = GSp(4, F ) fix a cuspidal irreducible admissible complex linear representation σ of its Levi quotient. Let ρ be a subquotient of the normalized parabolic induction of σ to G. Then ρ is non-cuspidal and every non-cuspidal irreducible admissible representation of G arises this way.
