Abstract

For a quasi-split classical group over a p-adic field with sufficiently large residual characteristic, we prove that the maximum depth of a representation in each L-packet equals the depth of the corresponding L-parameter. Furthermore, for quasi-split unitary groups, we show that the depth is constant in each L-packet. The key is an analysis of the endoscopic character relation via harmonic analysis based on Bruhat–Tits theory. These results are slight generalizations of a result of Ganapathy and Varma.
