Inventiones mathematicae Aims and scope

Abstract

Let G be a unitary, symplectic or special orthogonal group over a locally compact non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic. We construct many new supercuspidal representations of G, and Bushnell–Kutzko types for these representations. Moreover, we prove that every irreducible supercuspidal representation of G arises from our constructions.
