Let G be a unitary, symplectic or orthogonal group over a non-archimedean local field of residual characteristic different from 2, considered as the fixed point subgroup in a general linear group G̃ of an involution. Following [7] and [13], we generalize the notion of a semisimple character for G̃ and for G. In particular, following the formalism of [4], we show that these semisimple characters h...
