On the Decomposition of Hecke Polynomials over Parabolic Hecke Algebras

Abstract: We generalize a classical result of Andrianov on the decomposition of Hecke polynomials. Let $\mathfrak{F}$ be a non-archimedean local fied. For every connected reductive group $\mathbf{G}$, we give a criterion for when a polynomial with coefficients in the spherical parahoric Hecke algebra of $\mathbf{G}(\mathfrak{F})$ decomposes over a parabolic Hecke algebra associated with a non-obtuse parabolic subgroup of $\mathbf{G}$. We classify the non-obtuse parabolics. This then shows that our decomposition theorem covers all the classical cases due to Andrianov and Gritsenko. We also obtain new cases when the relative root system of $\mathbf{G}$ contains factors of types $E_6$ or $E_7$.
