Abstract: We introduce a notion of pseudo-spherical representations for any Brylinski-Deligne (BD) cover of a split torus over a $p$-adic field. In particular, we do not assume that the cover is tame. We enumerate the pseudo-spherical representations and compute their dimension. When the torus is the maximal split torus of a connected split reductive group $G$, we enumerate a subset of distinguished pseudo-spherical representations, under mild assumptions on the BD datum. We expect these distinguished representations to provide the torus input for a Borel-Casselman Theorem for BD covers of $G$. We have verified this expectation for certain non-tame double covers in a separate work. While investigating the pseudo-spherical representations, we also prove that the restriction of irreducible genuine representations of covering tori to their maximal compact subgroup is multiplicity-free. From this we see that the irreducible genuine representations of this maximal compact subgroup are types in the sense of Bushnell-Kutzko. We conclude by describing the Hecke algebras attached to these types.
