Abstract:

We establish a Kazhdan-Lusztig algorithm to compute characters of irreducible genuine representations of the (nonlinear) metaplectic group with half-integral infinitesimal character. We then prove a character multiplicity duality theorem for representations of $Mp(2n,\mathbb R)$ at fixed half-integral infinitesimal character. This allows us to extend some of Langlands' ideas to $Mp(2n,\mathbb R)$.
