C*-blocks and crossed products for classical p-adic groups

Let $G$ be a real or $p$-adic reductive group. We consider the tempered dual of $G$, and its connected components. For real groups, Wassermann proved in 1987, by noncommutative-geometric methods, that each connected component has a simple geometric structure which encodes the reducibility of induced representations. For $p$-adic groups, each connected component of the tempered dual comes with a compact torus equipped with a finite group action, and we prove that a version of Wassermann’s theorem holds true under a certain geometric assumption on the structure of stabilizers for that action. We then focus on the case where $G$ is a quasi-split symplectic, orthogonal or unitary group, and explicitly determine the connected components for which the geometric assumption is satisfied.
