Equivariant Vector Bundles with Connection on Drinfeld Symmetric Spaces

Abstract: For a finite extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $n \geq 1$, let $D$ be the division algebra over $F$ of invariant $1/n$ and let $G^0$ be the subgroup of $\text{GL}_n(F)$ of elements with norm $1$ determinant. We show that the action of $D^\times$ on the Drinfeld tower induces an equivalence of categories from finite dimensional smooth representations of $D^\times$ to $G^0$-finite $\text{GL}_n(F)$-equivariant vector bundles with connection on $\Omega$, the $(n-1)$-dimensional Drinfeld symmetric space.
