Endoscopic liftings of epipelagic representations for classical groups

Abstract

Let $G$ be a p-adic classical group (orthogonal, symplectic, unitary) and $\pi$ be an epipelagic representation of $G$ defined by Reeder-Yu. Using Mœglin's theory of extended cuspidal supports and Bushnell-Kutzko's theory of covering types, we determine the endoscopic lift of $\pi$ into the general linear group whose dual expresses the dual group of $G$ as a complex matrix group, explicitly in terms of the inducing type of $\pi$ that is extended from the character of the first Moy-Prasad filtration subgroup defined by a stable functional. We interpret the inducing type of $\pi$ via Stevens' construction of supercuspidal representations by skew semi-simple strata, and introduce the so-called epipelagic strata, which only require the residual characteristic p to be odd. As an application, we reprove the results of M. Oi on the endoscopic lifts of Gross-Reeder's simple supercuspidal representations of quasi-split classical groups.
