Ordinary local representations and $\Ext$ groups

Debargha Banerjee, Srijan Das

TL;DR

The paper proves vanishing results for Ext (and Hom) involving the $p$-adic Langlands correspondence for $GL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ when the local Galois representation is ordinary, by bridging local and global objects through Shimura and Drinfeld towers. A central tool is the Colmez–Dospinescu–Niziol factorization of the Drinfeld tower’s cohomology, which isolates the Galois-isotypic components and expresses them in terms of $\Pi(\rho_p)'$ and related modules. The results show that ordinary local Langlands representations do not occur in the finite-level Shimura or Drinfeld cohomology, and they establish vanishing (and in some cases finiteness) results for Ext groups in the local setting, using a combination of p-adic and mod $p$ Langlands compatibility, block theory for $p$-adic Banach representations, and cohomological uniformization techniques. These findings advance the understanding of where $p$-adic Langlands representations can appear in arithmetic geometry, and they connect local representation theory with global automorphic objects via robust factorization theorems. The work thus strengthens the philosophy that ordinary $p$-adic Langlands representations tend not to appear in the “supersingular” parts of cohomology and clarifies their role in the global–local panorama.

Abstract

We can associate an admissible unitary representation $Π(ρ_p)$ of $\GL_2(\Q_p)$ with every local Galois representation $ρ_p$ by the $p$-adic local Langlands correspondence. If $ρ_p$ is ordinary, we prove local and global vanishing results for $\Ext$ functors with respect to these representations.

Ordinary local representations and $\Ext$ groups

TL;DR

The paper proves vanishing results for Ext (and Hom) involving the -adic Langlands correspondence for when the local Galois representation is ordinary, by bridging local and global objects through Shimura and Drinfeld towers. A central tool is the Colmez–Dospinescu–Niziol factorization of the Drinfeld tower’s cohomology, which isolates the Galois-isotypic components and expresses them in terms of and related modules. The results show that ordinary local Langlands representations do not occur in the finite-level Shimura or Drinfeld cohomology, and they establish vanishing (and in some cases finiteness) results for Ext groups in the local setting, using a combination of p-adic and mod Langlands compatibility, block theory for -adic Banach representations, and cohomological uniformization techniques.
