$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Let $R$ be a commutative ring (not necessarily unital). Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $H_1, H_2$ be subgroups of $G$.

Recall the following standard result [1, Thm. 10.23]:

Theorem. Let $L_i$ be an $RH_i$-module, $i=1,2$. Then $$\Hom_{RG}(L_1^G,L_2^G) \simeq \bigoplus_{x^{-1}y \in D} \Hom_{R({^xH_1} \cap {^yH_2})}({^xL_1}, {^yL_2})$$ as $R$-modules, where the sum is taken over all $D \in H_1 \backslash G/H_2$.

Is there an analogue of the above theorem for ordinary smooth representations of a locally profinite group (l.p.g. for short)?

I have already checked introductory chapters of some classical references in ordinary smooth representation theory of l.p.g.'s [2, 3, 4] but without success.

The closest hint I was given seems to be the general discussion in [5, Sec. 5.5], but unfortunately I cannot access it freely on the Internet or in any library from my university. Thank you in advance.

  • $\begingroup$ Your notation $\bigoplus_{x^{-1}y \in D}$ (and the fact that the summands depend on $x$ and $y$) suggests that you are summing over pairs $(x, y)$, but then you say that you are summing over $D$. Which one is it—or should it be a double sum, over $D$ and then over $(x, y)$? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @LSpice I apologize for the abuse of notation. For each pair $(x,y)$ of elements in $G$, it can be shown that the $R-$module $Hom_{R(^xH_1 \cap ^yH_2)}(^xL_1, ^yL_2)$ depends only on the double coset $D \in H_1 \backslash G / H_2$ to which $x^{-1}y$ belongs. The sum is taken over all double cosets $D$, where for each $D$ we choose a pair $(x,y)$ of elements in $G$ such that $x^{-1}y \in D$. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 13, 2019 at 0:25

Let me reproduce and translate the relevant results from Vignéras's book (keeping the same notations). Putting these results together yields some generalisation of what you stated, but you have to be careful with the two types of induction. $\newcommand{\Mod}{\mathrm{Mod}} \newcommand{\Res}{\mathrm{Res}} \newcommand{\Ind}{\mathrm{Ind}} \newcommand{\ind}{\mathrm{ind}}$

Let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. Let $G$ be a locally profinite group. Let $\Mod_R(G)$ denote the category of smooth $RG$-modules.

Section 5.1:

Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $G$. Let $$ \Res_{H,G}\colon \Mod_R(G) \to \Mod_R(H) $$ denote the restriction functor.

Let $$ \Ind_{G,H}, \ind_{G,H} \colon \Mod_R(H) \to \Mod_R(G) $$ respectively denote smooth induction and smooth compactly supported induction.

Section 5.4:

Let $H,K$ be closed subgroups of $G$. $$ I_{K,H} = \Ind_{K,K\cap H}\Res_{K\cap H,H} \text{ and }i_{K,H} = \ind_{K,K\cap H}\Res_{K\cap H,H}. $$

For $\sigma\in \Mod_R(H)$ and $g\in G$, let $g(\sigma)$ denote the representation of $g(H) = gHg^{-1}$ defined by $$ g(\sigma)(ghg^{-1}) = \sigma(h). $$

Section 5.5:

Let $H,K$ be closed subgroups such that all double cosets $HgK$, $g\in G$ are open and closed.

For all $\sigma\in \Mod_R(H)$ we have isomorphisms $$ \Res_{K,G}\Ind_{G,H}(\sigma) \cong \prod_{HgK}I_{K,g(H)}g(\sigma) $$ and $$ \Res_{K,G}\ind_{G,H}(\sigma) \cong \bigoplus_{HgK}i_{K,g(H)}g(\sigma). $$

If $H$ or $K$ is open, then the double cosets are open and closed.

Section 5.6:

Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $G$.

  1. Let $W\in \Mod_R(H)$ be admissible. Then $\Ind_{G,H}W$ is admissible iff $\ind_{G,H}W$ is admissible, and if they are admissible then $\Ind_{G,H}W = \ind_{G,H}W$.
  2. If $G/H$ is compact, then $\Ind_{G,H}=\ind_{G,H}$ preserves admissibility.

Section 5.7:

Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $G$.

  1. $\Ind_{G,H}$ is right adjoint to $\Res_{H,G}$.
  2. If $H$ is open, then $\ind_{G,H}$ is left adjoint to $\Res_{H,G}$.

The answer to your question is the main theorem of :

Kutzko, P. C. Mackey's theorem for nonunitary representations. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 64 (1977), no. 1, 173–175.

You've got to be careful with the induction functors. In the setting of locally profinite groups, the "good" analogue of the induction functor of finite group representations is the compact-induction functor from an open compact subgroup.
