In this paper a proof of Conjecture 9.12 of Braverman and Kazhdan in their article "gamma-functions of representations and lifting" on the acyclicity of their l-adic gamma-sheaves over certain affine spaces is given for GL(n).
Employing a geometric setting inspired by the proof of the Fundamental Lemma, we study some counting problems related to the average size of 2-Selmer groups and hence obtain an estimate for it.
Let G be an unramified reductive group over a non archimedian local field F. The so-called "Langlands Fundamental Lemma" is a family of conjectural identities between orbital integrals for G(F) and orbital integrals for endoscopic groups of G. In this paper we prove the Langlands fundamental lemma in the particular case where F is a finite extension of F_p((t)), G is a unitary group and p>rank(G). Waldspurger has shown that this particular case implies the Langlands fundamental lemma for unitary groups of rank <p when F is any finite extension of Q_p. We follow in part a strategy initiated by Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson. Our main new tool is a deformation of orbital integrals which is constructed with the help of the Hitchin fibration for unitary groups over projective curves.
Kottwitz conjectured a formula for the (semi-simple) trace of Frobenius on the nearby cycles for the local model of a Shimura variety with Iwahori-type level structure. In this paper, we prove his conjecture in the linear and symplectic cases by adapting an argument of Gaitsgory, who proved an analogous theorem in the equal characteristic case.
The special fiber of the local model of a PEL Shimura variety with Iwahori-type level structure admits a cellular decomposition. The set of strata is in a natural way a finite subset of the affine Weyl group determined by the Shimura data. In this paper, we generalize and give a new proof of a theorem of Kottwitz and Rapoport concerning the description of this set for the case of linear and symplectic groups. For higher rank groups not of type A_n, we produce counterexamples showing the situation is not as nice in general. Also, we recover a theorem of Deodhar characterizing the Bruhat order on S_n.
We prove a conjecture of Frenkel, Gaitsgory, Kazhdan and Vilonen, related to Fourier coefficients of spherical perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian associated to a a split reductive group. Our proof is an extension of the proof given by the first author in the case of GL(n) (see math/9801109); it relies on the study of certain resolutions of Schubert varieties in the affine Grassmannian, built from the so-called minuscule or quasi-minuscule cases.
We give a geometric interpretation of the base change homomorphism between the Hecke algebra of GL(n) for an unramified extension of local fields of positive characteristic. For this, we use some results of Ginzburg, Mirkovic and Vilonen related to the geometric Satake isomorphism. We give new proof for these results in the positive characteristic case. By using that geometric interpretation of the base change homomorphism, we prove the fundamental lemma of Jacquet and Ye for arbitrary Hecke function in the the equal characteristic case.
We prove a conjecture of Frenkel-Gaitsgory-Kazhdan-Vilonen on some exponential sums related to the geometric Langlands correspondence. Our main ingredients are the resolution of Lusztig scheme of lattices introduced by Laumon and the decomposition theorem of Beilinson-Bernstein-Deligne-Gabber.
