Let $V$ be a crystalline irreducible representation of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ with distinct Hodge Tate weights $(0,k-1), k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$.
Then $V$ is uniquely determined by a pair of smooth characters $\alpha,\beta$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p^{\times}$. Breuil and Berger gives in their paper (see page $43$, equations $22$ and $23$) a $GL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ equivariant Intertwining operator $I^{sm}$ between the smooth representations (locally constant functions with values in a finite extension $E$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$)
$$Ind_B^G (\beta \otimes \alpha |\cdot|^{-1})^{sm} \rightarrow Ind_B^G (\alpha \otimes \beta|\cdot|^{-1})^{sm}$$
In terms of locally constant functions on $\mathbb{Q}_p$, it is given by
$$I^{sm}(h)(z)=\int_{\mathbb{Q}_p}(\alpha\beta^{-1})(x)|x|^{-1}h(z+x^{-1})dx$$
I do not understand why the image of $I^{sm}$ consists of smooth (locally constant) functions with values in $E$. What happens when I take $h=1$?
