The local Langlands conjecture for the $p$-adic inner form of Sp(4)

This paper proves the local Langlands conjecture for the non quasi-split inner form Sp(1,1) of Sp(4) over a p-adic field of characteristic 0, by studying the restriction of representations from the non quasi-split inner form GSp(1,1) of GSp(4) to Sp(1,1). The L-packets for Sp(1,1) are constructed based on the earlier work on the local Langlands correspondence for GSp(1,1) by Gan and Tantono. To parameterize them in terms of so-called S-groups, we establish and utilize the local Langlands correspondence for reductive dual groups which participate in the theta correspondence with Sp(1,1) and GSp(1,1). An interesting phenomenon arises when two distinct members in an L-packet of GSp(1,1) are restricted to Sp(1,1).
