Abstract:

Let $G(F_q)$ be the group of rational points of a split connected reductive group $G$ over the finite field $F_q$. In this paper we show that the category of representations of $G(F_q)$ which are finite direct sums of unipotent representations in a fixed two-sided cell is equivalent to the centre of a certain monoidal category of sheaves on the flag manifold of $G\times G$. We also consider a version of this for nonsplit groups.
