A construction of projective bases for irreducible representations of multiplicative groups of division algebras over local fields

Abstract

Let $F$ be a local non-archimedian field of positive characteristic, $D$ be a skew-field with center $F$ and $ G=D^{\\star}$ be the multiplicative group of $D$. The goal of this paper is to provide a canonical decomposition of any complex irreducible representation $V$ of $G$ in a direct sum of one-dimensional subspaces.
