Coefficient systems on the Bruhat-Tits building and pro-$p$ Iwahori-Hecke modules

Abstract: Let $G$ be the group of rational points of a split connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $I$ be a pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup of $G$ and let $R$ be a commutative quasi-Frobenius ring. If $H=R[I\backslash G/I]$ denotes the pro-$p$ Iwahori-Hecke algebra of $G$ over $R$ we clarify the relation between the category of $H$-modules and the category of $G$-equivariant coefficient systems on the semisimple Bruhat-Tits building of $G$. If $R$ is a field of characteristic zero this yields alternative proofs of the exactness of the Schneider-Stuhler resolution and of the Zelevinski conjecture for smooth $G$-representations generated by their $I$-invariants. In general, it gives a description of the derived category of $H$-modules in terms of smooth $G$-representations and yields a functor to generalized $(\varphi,\Gamma)$-modules extending the constructions of Colmez, Schneider and Vign\'eras.
