Irreducible admissible mod-p representations of metaplectic groups

Let $p$ be an odd prime number, and $F$ a nonarchimedean local field of residual characteristic $p$. We classify the smooth, irreducible, admissible genuine mod-$p$ representations of the twofold metaplectic cover $\widetilde{\textrm{Sp}}_{2n}(F)$ of $\textrm{Sp}_{2n}(F)$ in terms of genuine supercuspidal (equivalently, supersingular) representations of Levi subgroups. To do so, we use results of Henniart--Vignéras as well as new technical results to adapt Herzig's method to the metaplectic setting. As consequences, we obtain an irreducibility criterion for principal series representations generalizing the complete irreducibility of principal series representations in the rank 1 case, as well as the fact that irreducibility is preserved by parabolic induction from the cover of the Siegel Levi subgroup.

A classification of the irreducible admissible genuine mod p representations of the metaplectic cover of p-adic SL(2)

We classify the irreducible, admissible, smooth, genuine mod p representations of the metaplectic double cover of SL(2,F), where F is a p-adic field and p is odd. We show, using a generalized Satake transform, that each such representation is isomorphic to a certain explicit quotient of a compact induction from a maximal compact subgroup by an action of a spherical Hecke operator, and we define a parameter for the representation in terms of this data. We show that our parameters distinguish genuine nonsupercuspidal representations from genuine supercuspidals, and that every irreducible genuine nonsupercuspidal representation is in fact an irreducible principal series representation. In particular, the metaplectic double cover of p-adic SL(2) has no genuine special mod p representations.
