Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated", "categories": [ "math.RT" ], "abstract": "Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic $0$ and $G=Sp(4,F)$. Let $(\\pi,W)$ be an irreducible smooth self-dual representation $G$. The space $W$ of $\\pi$ admits a non-degenerate $G$-invariant bilinear form $(\\,,\\,)$ which is unique up to scaling. The form $(\\,,\\,)$ is easily seen to be symmetric or skew-symmetric and we set $\\varepsilon({\\pi})=\\pm 1$ accordingly. In this paper, we show that $\\varepsilon{(\\pi)}=1$ when $\\pi$ is an Iwahori spherical representation of $G$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-20T14:42:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-archimedean local field", "irreducible smooth self-dual representation", "invariant bilinear form", "iwahori spherical representation", "non-degenerate" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
