Generic cuspidal representations of $U(2,1)$

Abstract

Let $F$ be any non-Archimedean local field with a Galois involution $\sigma$ and $F_0$ be the fixed field for the action of $\sigma$. When the residue characteristic of $F_0$ is odd, using the explicit construction of cuspidal representations of classical groups by Stevens, we classify generic cuspidal representations of $U(2,1)(F/F_0)$.
