The most important properties being that $RHom_{\\mathcal H}(-,{\\mathcal H})$ is concentrated in a single degree for irreducible representations and that it gives rise to Schneider--Stuhler duality for Ext groups (a Serre functor like property). Along the way we also study Grothendieck--Serre duality with respect to the Bernstein center and provide a proof of the folklore result that on admissible modules this functor is nothing but the contragredient duality. We single out a necessary and sufficient condition for when these three dualities agree on finite length modules in a given block. In particular, we show this is the case for all cuspidal blocks as well as, due to a result of Roche, on all blocks with trivial stabilizer in the relative Weyl group.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-01T12:33:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E50", "22E45" ], "keywords": [ "adic group", "homological duality", "covering groups", "hecke algebra", "finite central extension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
