p-adic oscillatory integrals and wave front sets

Daniel Heifetz

Vol. 116 (1985), No. 2, 285–305
Abstract

For K a p-adic field, we examine oscillatory integrals

          ∫
I(ϕ,p)(λ) =    ϕ(x)ψ(λp(x ))dx
Kn

where ϕ is a Schwartz function on Kn, ψ is an additive character, λ Kx, and p : Kn K is locally analytic. If Dp0 on the support of ϕ, λI(ϕ,p)(λ) has bounded support. If Dp(x0) = 0 at exactly one point x0 in the support of ϕ but D2p(x0) is non-degenerate, then

            −n∕2              2     −1∕2
I(ϕ,p)(λ) = |λ|  γψ(p(x0))|detD  p(x0)|   ϕ(x0)

for sufficiently large |λ|, where γ is a complex eighth root of unity. An invariant definition of wave front set, WFΛ(u), for distributions u relative to an open subgroup Λ of K× is proved to exist, analogous to the classical case, with “rapidly decreasing” replaced by “bounded support”. Definitions of pull backs and push forwards of distributions, distribution products, and kernel maps are made, again similar to the classical case, and their wave front sets computed. Wave front sets WFΛ(ρ) of representations ρ of p-adic groups are also defined (cf. Howe, Automorphic forms, representation theory, and arithmetic, Tata Inst., 1979, for the Lie group analogue). For admissible representations ρ of, say, a semi-simple group G, with character χρ, we show that WFΛ0(ρ) = WFΛ0(χρ), where WFΛ0() Lie(G) is WFΛ() above the identity element. Functorial properties of WFΛ(ρ) are developed and examples computed.
