Abstract

We introduce a categorical framework for the study of representations of G(F), where G is a reductive group, and F is a 2-dimensional local field, i.e. F = K((t)), where K is a local field. Our main result says that the space of functions on G(F), which is an object of a suitable category of representations of G(F) with the respect to the action of G on itself by left translations, becomes a representation of a certain central extension of G(F), when we consider the action by right translations.
