    Abstract

    We adapt the conjectural local Langlands parameterization to split
    metaplectic groups over local fields. When $\tilde G$ is a central extension of
    a split connected reductive group over a local field (arising from the
    framework of Brylinski and Deligne), we construct a dual group $\mathbf{\tilde
    G}^\vee$ and an L-group ${}^L \mathbf{\tilde G}^\vee$ as group schemes over
    ${\mathbb Z}$.

  2. Managing Metaplectiphobia: Covering p-adic groups.

    Abstract

    Brylinski and Deligne have provided a framework to study central extensions
    of reductive groups by K2 over a field F. Such central extensions can be used
    to construct central extensions of p-adic groups by finite cyclic groups,
    including the metaplectic groups. Particularly interesting is the observation
    of Brylinski and Deligne that a central extension of a reductive group by K2,
    over a p-adic field, yields a family of central extensions of reductive groups
    by the multiplicative group over the residue field, indexed by the points of
    the building.

  3. Dichotomy for generic supercuspidal representations of $G_2$.

    Abstract

    The local Langlands conjectures imply that to every generic supercuspidal
    irreducible representation of $G_2$ over a $p$-adic field, one can associate a
    generic supercuspidal irreducible representation of either $PGSp_6$ or$PGL_3$.
    We prove this conjectural dichotomy, demonstrating a precise correspondence
    between certain representations of $G_2$ and other representations of $PGSp_6$
    and $PGL_3$ when $p \neq 2$. This correspondence arises from theta
    correspondences in $E_6$ and $E_7$, analysis of Shalika functionals, and spin
    L-functions.
