Geometric local epsilon factors
Abstract
Inspired by the work of Laumon on $\varepsilon$-factors and by Deligne's $1974$ letter to Serre, we give an explicit cohomological definition of $\varepsilon$-factors for $\ell$-adic Galois representations over henselian discrete valuation fields of positive equicharacteristic $p \neq \ell$, with (not necessarily finite) perfect residue fields. These geometric local $\varepsilon$-factors are completely characterized by an explicit list of purely local properties, such as an induction formula and the compatibility with geometric class field theory in rank $1$, and satisfy a product formula for $\ell$-adic sheaves on a curve over a perfect field of characteristic $p$.
