Dual R-groups of the inner forms of SL(N)

We study the Knapp-Stein R-groups of the inner forms of SL(N) over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero, by using restriction from the inner forms of GL(N). As conjectured by Arthur, these R-groups are then shown to be naturally isomorphic to their dual avatars defined in terms of L-parameters. The 2-cocycles attached to R-groups can be described as well. The proofs are based on the results of K. Hiraga and H. Saito. We also construct examples to illustrate some new phenomena which do not occur in the case of SL(N) or classical groups.
