Abstract:

We determine the unitary dual of the geometric graded Hecke algebras with unequal parameters which appear in Lusztig’s classification of unipotent representations for exceptional $p$-adic groups. The largest such algebra is of type $F_4.$ Via the Barbasch-Moy correspondence of unitarity applied to this setting, this is equivalent to the identification of the corresponding unitary unipotent representations with real central character of the $p$-adic groups. In order for this correspondence to be applicable here, we show (following Lusztig’s geometric classification, and Barbasch and Moy’s original argument) that the set of tempered modules with real central character for a geometric graded Hecke algebra is linearly independent when restricted to the Weyl group.
