Let R(G) denote the category of smooth representations of a p-adic group. Bernstein has constructed an indexing set B(G) such that R(G) decomposes into a direct sum over s ∈ B(G) of full subcategories Rs(G) known as Bernstein subcategories. Bushnell and Kutzko have developed a method to study the representations contained in a given subcategory. One attempts to associate to that subcategory a smooth irreducible representation (τ,W) of a compact open subgroup J < G. If the functor V ↦ HomJ(W,V) is an equivalence of categories from Rs(G) → H(G,τ)mod we call (J,τ) a type.
Given a Levi subgroup L < G and a type (JL, τL) for a subcategory of representations on L, Bushnell and Kutzko further show that one can construct a type on G that “lies over” (JL, τL) by constructing an object known as a cover. In particular, a cover implements induction of H(L,τL)-modules in a manner compatible with parabolic induction of L-representations.
In this thesis I construct a cover for certain representations of the Siegel Levi subgroup of Sp(2k) over an archimedean local field of characteristic zero. In partic- ular, the representations I consider are twisted by highly ramified characters. This compliments work of Bushnell, Goldberg, and Stevens on covers in the self-dual case. My construction is quite concrete, and I also show that the cover I construct has a useful property known as splitness. In fact, I prove a fairly general theorem characterizing when covers are split.
