For a parabolic subgroup $Q\\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\\quad\\quad\\quad\\quad C^{\\infty}(G/Q,L)/\\sum_{Q'\\supsetneq Q}C^{\\infty}(G/Q',L).$$Let $I\\subset G$ denote an Iwahori subgroup. We define a certain free finite rank $L$-module ${\\mathfrak M}$ (depending on $Q$; if $Q$ is a Borel subgroup then $(*)$ is the Steinberg representation and ${\\mathfrak M}$ is of rank one) and construct an $I$-equivariant embedding of $(*)$ into $C^{\\infty}(I,{\\mathfrak M})$. This allows the computation of the $I$-invariants in $(*)$. We then prove that if $L$ is a field with characteristic equal to the residue characteristic of $F$ and if $G$ is a classical group, then the $G$-representation $(*)$ is irreducible. This is the analog of a theorem of Casselman (which says the same for $L={\\mathbb C}$); it had been conjectured by Vign\\'eras. Herzig (for $G={\\rm GL}_n(F)$) and Abe (for general $G$) have given classification theorems for irreducible admissible modulo $p$ representations of $G$ in terms of supersingular representations. Some of their arguments rely on the present work.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-08-14T18:10:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adic reductive groups", "special representations", "non-archimedean locally compact field", "free finite rank", "residue characteristic" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1408.3370G" } } }
