The Bernstein Projector Determined by a Weak Associate Class of Good Cosets

Let ${\text G}$ be a reductive group over a $p$-adic field $F$ of characteristic zero, with $p \gg 0$, and let $G={\text G}(F)$. In [ 15], J.-L. Kim studied an equivalence relation called weak associativity on the set of unrefined minimal $K$-types for ${\text G}$ in the sense of A. Moy and G. Prasad. Following [ 15], we attach to the set $\overline{\mathfrak{s}}$ of good $K$-types in a weak associate class of positive-depth unrefined minimal $K$-types a ${G}$-invariant open and closed subset $\mathfrak{g}_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g} = {\operatorname{Lie}}({\text G})(F)$, and a subset $\tilde{{G}}_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ of the admissible dual $\tilde{{G}}$ of ${G}$ consisting of those representations containing an unrefined minimal $K$-type that belongs to $\overline{\mathfrak{s}}$. Then $\tilde{{G}}_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ is the union of finitely many Bernstein components of ${G}$, so that we can consider the Bernstein projector $E_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ that it determines. We show that $E_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ vanishes outside the Moy–Prasad ${G}$-domain ${G}_r \subset{G}$, and reformulate a result of Kim as saying that the restriction of $E_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$ to ${G}_r\,$, pushed forward via the logarithm to the Moy–Prasad ${G}$-domain $\mathfrak{g}_r \subset \mathfrak{g}$, agrees on $\mathfrak{g}_r$ with the inverse Fourier transform of the characteristic function of $\mathfrak{g}_{\overline{\mathfrak{s}}}$. This is a variant of one of the descriptions given by R. Bezrukavnikov, D. Kazhdan, and Y. Varshavsky in [8] for the depth-$r$ Bernstein projector.
