Representations of $G{L}_n(D)$ near the identity

Abstract

For a central division algebra $D$ of dimension $d^2$ over a finite extension $F$ of ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$ or of ${\mathbb{F}}_p((t))$, a field $R$ of characteristic prime to $p$, and an irreducible smooth $R$-representation $\pi$ of $G=G{L}_n(D)$, we show that for small enough compact open pro-$p$ subgroup $K$ of $G$, the restriction of $\pi$ to $K$ is the same as that of a virtual representation $\sum c_{\pi }(\lambda )In{d}_{P_{\lambda }}^{G}1$, where the sum is over partitions $\lambda$ of $n$ and $P_{\lambda }$ a parabolic subgroup of $G$ associated to $\lambda$. When $K$ is a Moy-Prasad subgroup of $G$ we determine from the $c_{\pi }(\lambda )$ a polynomial $P_{\pi ,K}$ of degree $d(\pi )$ independent of the choice of $K$, such that for large enough integers $j$ the dimension of the points of $\pi$ fixed under the congruence subgroup $K_j$ of $K$ is $P_{\pi ,K}(q^j)$ where $q$ is the cardinality of the residue field of $D$.

misprints and errors have been corrected. This is the final version
