On endomorphism algebras of Gelfand-Graev representations

Abstract

For a connected reductive group $G$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and equipped with the induced Frobenius endomorphism $F$, we study the relation among the following three $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras: (i) the $\mathbb{Z}$-model $\mathsf{E}_G$ of endomorphism algebras of Gelfand-Graev representations of $G^F$; (ii) the Grothendieck group $\mathsf{K}_{G^\ast}$ of the category of representations of $G^{\ast F^\ast}$ over $\overline{\mathbb{F}_q}$ (Deligne-Lusztig dual side); (iii) the ring $\mathsf{B}_{G^\vee}$ of the scheme $(T^\vee/\!\!/ W)^{F^\vee}$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ (Langlands dual side). The comparison between (i) and (iii) is motivated by recent advances in the local Langlands program.
