Why does the Frobenius-semisimplicity of a Weil representation not depend on the choice of the Frobenius...

Definition: Let $K$ be a (non-Archimedean) local field and $k$ its residue field.




  • A Frobenius element of the absolute Galois group $G_K$ is any element of $G_K$ which is a lift of the Frobenius automorphism $x mapsto x^{|k|}$ in $G_k simeq G_K/I_K$.

  • A Weil representation $rho$ is called Frobenius-semisimple if $rho(Phi)$ is diagonalizable for some Frobenius element $Phi$ in $G_K$.


Question: If $rho$ is a Frobenius-semisimple Weil representation why is $rho(Phi')$ diagonalizable for any Frobenius element $Phi'$ in $G_K$?



Attempts:




  • I know that the Frobenius element in $G_K$ is unique up to an element in $I_K$, i.e. if $Phi, Phi'$ are two Frobenius elements in $G_K$, there exists an element $sigma in I_K$ with $Phi' = Phi circ sigma$.

  • Let us say that $rho(Phi')$ is diagonalizable and $(v_1,dots,v_n)$ is a basis of the representation space consisting of eigenvectors of $rho(Phi')$. The only thing I was able to show with that $(v_1,dots,v_n)$ is also a basis of eigenvectors of $rho(sigma^{-1}circ Phi circ sigma)$. But this is not helpful since I want to find a basis of eigenvectors for $Phi$.


Could you please help me with this problem? Thank you!

    You probably want to use that fact that $rho$ is continuous, so that $rho(I_K)$ is finite. It turns out for a Weil representation, Frobenius-semisimple is the same as just being semisimple. The notions become different when you consider Weil-Deligne representations.

    @Mathmo123: Thanks for your remark! It is$rho(I_K)$ is finite, so let $rho(sigma_1), dots rho(sigma_m)$ for $sigma_i in I_K$ be these elements. Then the image of a Frobenius element must be one of the values $rho(Phi circ sigma_i)$ for $i=1,dots,m$. Could this be helpful? I have problems to see how this can lead to the semisimplicity.
