Local Steinberg representation of GL2 by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
The local Steinberg representation is the quotient of locally constant functions on the projective line by constant functions, with the action induced from GL2. In the unnormalized convention, fits into . Its scalar endomorphism algebra obstructs a splitting. This local infinite-dimensional representation differs from the finite-field Steinberg representation.
