Abstract

Let G be a classical group (orthogonal, symplectic, or unitary) over a p-adic field F, and be a supercuspidal representation of G(F). We propose a general strategy to express the Langlands parameter of ㅠ, only requiring the residual characteristic p to be odd, with proven examples by the speaker (partly joint with Corinne Blondel) and others. To briefly explain the strategy, we apply Mæglin's theory of Jordan blocks and Bushnell-Kutzko's theory of covering types to determine the endoscopic lift of into the general linear group whose dual expresses the dual group of G as a complex matrix group. The cuspidal support of this lifted representation is expressed in terms of the inducing type of a defined by Stevens' construction of supercuspidal representations using skew semi-simple strata. This strategy is completely on the representation side.
