Abstract
Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic different from 2 and residual characteristic
$p$. This paper concerns the
$\ell$-modular representations of a connected reductive group
$G$ distinguished by a Galois involution, with
$\ell$ an odd prime different from
$p$. We start by proving a general theorem allowing to lift supercuspidal
$\overline {\mathbf {F}}_{\ell }$-representations of
$\operatorname {GL}_n(F)$ distinguished by an arbitrary closed subgroup
$H$ to a distinguished supercuspidal
$\overline {\mathbf {Q}}_{\ell }$-representation. Given a quadratic field extension
$E/F$ and an irreducible
$\overline {\mathbf {F}}_{\ell }$-representation
$\pi$ of
$\operatorname {GL}_n(E)$, we verify the Jacquet conjecture in the modular setting that if the Langlands parameter
$\phi _\pi$ is irreducible and conjugate-selfdual, then
$\pi$ is either
$\operatorname {GL}_n(F)$-distinguished or
$(\operatorname {GL}_{n}(F),\omega _{E/F})$-distinguished (where
$\omega _{E/F}$ is the quadratic character of
$F^\times$ associated to the quadratic field extension
$E/F$ by the local class field theory), but not both, which extends one result of Sécherre to the case
$p=2$. We give another application of our lifting theorem for supercuspidal representations distinguished by a unitary involution, extending one result of Zou to
$p=2$. After that, we give a complete classification of the
$\operatorname {GL}_2(F)$-distinguished representations of
$\operatorname {GL}_2(E)$. Using this classification we discuss a modular version of the Prasad conjecture for
$\operatorname {PGL}_2$. We show that the ‘classical’ Prasad conjecture fails in the modular setting. We propose a solution using non-nilpotent Weil–Deligne representations. Finally, we apply the restriction method of Anandavardhanan and Prasad to classify the
$\operatorname {SL}_2(F)$-distinguished modular representations of
$\operatorname {SL}_2(E)$.
