Central elements in affine mod p Hecke algebras via perverse
$\mathbb {F}_p$-sheaves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 September 2021
Abstract
Let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over a finite field of characteristic
$p > 2$ such that
$G_\text {der}$ is absolutely almost simple. We give a geometric construction of perverse
$\mathbb {F}_p$-sheaves on the Iwahori affine flag variety of
$G$ which are central with respect to the convolution product. We deduce an explicit formula for an isomorphism from the spherical mod
$p$ Hecke algebra to the center of the Iwahori mod
$p$ Hecke algebra. We also give a formula for the central integral Bernstein elements in the Iwahori mod
$p$ Hecke algebra. To accomplish these goals we construct a nearby cycles functor for perverse
$\mathbb {F}_p$-sheaves and we use Frobenius splitting techniques to prove some properties of this functor. We also prove that certain equal characteristic analogues of local models of Shimura varieties are strongly
$F$-regular, and hence they are
$F$-rational and have pseudo-rational singularities.
