Smooth representations of unit groups of split basic algebras over non-Archimedean local fields

Abstract

We consider smooth representations of the unit group $G = \mathcal{A}^{\times}$ of a finite-dimensional split basic algebra $\mathcal{A}$ over a non-Archimedean local field. In particular, we prove a version of Gutkin's conjecture, namely, we prove that every irreducible smooth representation of $G$ is compactly induced by a one-dimensional representation of the unit group of some subalgebra of $\mathcal{A}$. We also discuss admissibility and unitarisability of smooth representations of G.
