We study the representation theory of graded Hecke algebras, starting from scratch and focusing on representations that are obtained with induction from a discrete series representation of a parabolic subalgebra. We determine all intertwining operators between such parabolically induced representations, and use them to parametrize the irreducible representations.

Schneider-Stuhler and Vigneras have used cosheaves on the affine Bruhat-Tits building to construct natural finite type projective resolutions for admissible representations of reductive p-adic groups in characteristic not equal to p. We use a system of idempotent endomorphisms of a representation with certain properties to construct a cosheaf and a sheaf on the building. We establish that these are acyclic and compute homology and cohomology with these coefficients. This implies Bernstein's result that certain subcategories of the category of representations are Serre subcategories. Furthermore, we also get results for convex subcomplexes of the building. Following work of Korman, this leads to trace formulas for admissible representations.
Let G be a reductive p-adic group, H(G) its Hecke algebra and S(G) its Schwartz algebra. We will show that these algebras have the same periodic cyclic homology. This might be used to provide an alternative proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture for G, modulo torsion. As preparation for our main theorem we prove two results that have independent interest. Firstly a general comparison theorem for the periodic cyclic homology of finite type algebras and certain Fréchet completions thereof. Secondly a refined form of the Langlands classification for G, which clarifies the relation between the smooth spectrum and the tempered spectrum.
Using similarities between topological $K$-theory and periodic cyclic homology we show that, after tensoring with $\mathbb C$, for certain Fréchet algebras the Chern character provides an isomorphism between these functors. This is applied to prove that the Hecke algebra and the Schwartz algebra of a reductive $p$-adic group have isomorphic periodic cyclic homology. The main theorem in the first version was incorrect for algebras related to noncompact manifolds. This has no effect on the results concerning p-adic groups. In the appendix we show that an analogous cohomological result does hold in the noncompact case.
In this paper we study homological properties of modules over an affine Hecke algebra H. In particular we prove a comparison result for higher extensions of tempered modules when passing to the Schwartz algebra S, a certain topological completion of the affine Hecke algebra. The proof is self-contained and based on a direct construction of a bounded contraction of certain standard resolutions of H-modules. This construction applies for all positive parameters of the affine Hecke algebra. This is an important feature since it is an ingredient to analyse how the irreducible discrete series representations of H arise in generic families over the parameter space of H. For irreducible non-simply laced affine Hecke algebras this will enable us to give a complete classification of the discrete series characters for all positive parameters (we will report on this application in a separate article).
We show that the inclusion of an affine Hecke algebra in its Schwartz completion induces an isomorphism on periodic cyclic homology.
