Title: Relative Kazhdan-Lusztig isomorphism

Place: Seminar Room A
Abstract: The Kazhdan-Lusztig isomorphism, relating the affine Hecke algebra of a p-adic group to the equivariant K-theory of the Steinberg variety of its Langlands dual, played a key role in the proof of the Deligne-Langlands conjectures concerning the classification of tamely ramified irreducible representations. In this talk, I will recall the statement of the Kazhdan-Lusztig isomorphism and propose a conjectural relativeversion. I will focus on the case of the symmetric pair (GL2n,Sp2n), for which I can prove the relative version. I will also discuss applications to the classification of tamely ramified irreducible distinguishedrepresentations.
