Exponential motives on the affine Grassmannian
Abstract
We develop a notion of exponential motives on general prestacks equipped with a $\mathbf{G}_a$-action, and compare them with Whittaker motives via Gaitsgory's Kirillov model. We then establish foundational results for exponential motives on affine flag varieties concerning Tate motives and t-structures. We use this to prove a motivic Casselman-Shalika equivalence, relating exponential Tate motives on the affine Grassmannian to ind-coherent sheaves on the classifying stack of the Langlands dual group. The decategorification of this equivalence provides a new construction of the Whittaker module for the spherical Hecke algebra which works for arbitrary coefficients, including a generic version.
