The Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture for pp-adic representation pairings

Let HH be a pp-adic reductive group, let λQp\lambda^{\mathbb{Q}_p} be an infinitesimal character, and let ξ=(C,V)\xi=(C,\mathcal{V}) and ξ\xi' be parameters indexing the corresponding irreducible representations π(ξ)\pi(\xi), standard representations M(ξ)M(\xi), simple perverse objects P(ξ)\mathcal{P}(\xi), and standard objects μ(ξ)\mu(\xi') in the equivariant derived category. Let

,:KRepmpure(λQp,H)×KDb(HλQp\VλQp)C\langle-,-\rangle:K\operatorname{Rep}_{{\mathrm{m} \,\mathrm{pure}}}(\lambda^{\mathbb{Q}_p},H)\times K D^b(H_{\lambda^{\mathbb{Q}_p}}\backslash V_{\lambda^{\mathbb{Q}_p}})\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}

be the perfect pairing specified above. Kazhdan–Lusztig conjecture. Under this pairing,

M(ξ),μ(ξ)=(1)dimCe(Hξ)δξ,ξ.\langle M(\xi),\mu(\xi')\rangle=(-1)^{\dim C}e(H_\xi)\delta_{\xi,\xi'}.

This is intended to express the expected compatibility between standard representations and standard objects under the representation-theoretic and geometric parametrizations; the source supplies no resolution status.
