On principal series representations of quasi-split reductive p-adic groups

TL;DR
The paper constructs a canonical local Langlands correspondence for irreducible principal-series representations of quasi-split p-adic groups by linking Bernstein-block realizations to extended affine Hecke algebras and, on the Galois side, to enhanced L-parameters. A Whittaker datum fixes normalization of intertwining operators, yielding a canonical isomorphism End_G(\\Pi_{\\frak s})^{op} \\cong \\mathcal{H}(\\frak s^{\vee}, q_F^{1/2}) and a correspondence Irr(\\mathcal{H}(\\frak s^{\vee}, q_F^{1/2})) \\leftrightarrow Φ_e(G)^{\\frak s^{\vee}}. The authors develop a robust framework: (i) a genericity test via Steinberg modules in Hecke algebras, (ii) a reduction to graded Hecke algebras with geometric parametrization of representations via triples (\\sigma, y, ρ), and (iii) a canonical bijection between Irr(G)^{\\frak s} and enhanced L-parameters that preserves temperedness, discreteness, cuspidal supports, and central characters. The results generalize prior split/quasi-split cases and provide a categorical perspective, paving the way for functorial LLC statements and deeper connections to derived categories of Langlands parameters.
Abstract
Let G be a quasi-split reductive group over a non-archimedean local field. We establish a local Langlands correspondence for all irreducible smooth complex G-representations in the principal series. The parametrization map is injective, and its image is an explicitly described set of enhanced L-parameters. Our correspondence is determined by the choice of a Whittaker datum for G, and it is canonical given that choice. We show that our parametrization satisfies many expected properties, among others with respect to the enhanced L-parameters of generic representations, temperedness, cuspidal supports and central characters. Along the way we characterize genericity in terms of representations of an affine Hecke algebra.
