The Bernstein center of the category of smooth -modules

arXiv:1201.1874

Abstract

We consider the category of smooth -modules, where F is a p-adic field and k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic l different from p. We describe a factorization of this category into blocks, and show that the center of each block is a reduced, finite type, l-torsion free W(k)-algebra. Moreover, the k-points of the center of each block are in bijection with the possible "supercuspidal supports" of the smooth -modules that lie in the block. Finally, we describe a large, explicit subalgebra of the center of each block and give a description of the action of this subalgebra on the simple objects of the block, in terms of the description of the classical "characteristic zero" Bernstein center.
