Clozel–Harris–Taylor's generalized Ihara lemma for definite unitary groups
Let be a totally real number field, let be a quadratic CM extension containing an imaginary quadratic field , and let be the unitary similitude group associated to a division algebra with involution as in the setup. At a prime split in , choose a place of above a fixed place of above , with the division algebra split at . Let and be as defined above, let for , and let be the global Hecke algebra. An irreducible -representation over is Whittaker-generic if it admits nonzero Whittaker coefficients. Let be a non-Eisenstein maximal ideal with , and let be an irreducible -submodule.
Clozel–Harris–Taylor's generalized Ihara lemma. Then is Whittaker-generic.
This is the generalized Ihara lemma proposed by Clozel, Harris, and Taylor for higher-dimensional unitary groups. The supplied material does not state whether this formulation has been proved or remains open.
