On Harish-Chandra's integrability theorem in positive characteristic
Abstract
The celebrated Harish-Chandra's integrability theorem states that the distributional character of an irreducible smooth representation of a p-adic group $G(F)$ is integrable, that is represented by an $L^1_{loc}(G(F))$ function. Here $F$ is a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic $0$ and $G$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over $F$. In this paper we focus on cuspidal representations of $GL_n(F)$ for a field $F$ of positive characteristic. We show that in this case the integrability holds under the hypothesis of existence of desingularization of (certain) algebraic varieties in positive characteristics. Furthermore, in the case $char(F)>n/2$ we establish the regularity of such characters unconditionally.
