A map from irreducible representations of G(F_q) to semisimple classes in the dual group was defined by a cohomological method by Deligne and the author in 1976. Here we show that when q is large enough this map has an alternative (non-cohomological) definition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-03T16:28:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "unipotent representations", "definition", "finite field", "semisimple classes", "dual group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
