Koszul duality for generalised Steinberg representations of $p$-adic groups

Let $G$ be a semisimple group, split over a non-Archimedean field $F$. We prove that the category of modules over the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations of $G(F)$ is equivalent to a full subcategory of equivariant perverse sheaves on the variety of Langlands parameters for these representations. Specifically, we establish an equivalence \[ \textbf{Mod}(\text{Ext}_G^\bullet(\Sigma_\lambda, \Sigma_\lambda)) \simeq \textbf{Per}_{\widehat{G}}^\circ(X_\lambda), \] where $\Sigma_\lambda$ is the direct sum of generalised Steinberg representations and $\textbf{Per}_{\widehat{G}}^\circ(X_\lambda)$ is the subcategory of perverse sheaves on the variety of Langlands parameters $X_\lambda$ corresponding to these representations under Vogan's geometrisation of the Langlands correspondence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this equivalence is a true Koszul duality by showing that the extension algebra of generalised Steinberg representations is Koszul dual to the endomorphism algebra of the direct sum of corresponding equivariant perverse sheaves, taken in the equivariant derived category $D_{\widehat{G}}^b(X_\lambda)$.

Electromagnetic Emission Rates and Spectral Sum Rules

The electromagnetic emission rates at SPS energies satisfy spectral constraints in leading order in the pion and nucleon densities. These constraints follow from the strictures of broken chiral symmetry. We saturate these constraints using available data, leading to model independent emission rates from a hadronic gas. With a simple fire-ball scenario, only large nucleon densities may account for the present CERES data.

The Invariant Fermion Correlator in the Schwinger Model on the Torus

We construct the gauge invariant fermion correlator in the Schwinger model on the torus. At zero temperature, this correlator falls off with a rate given by the Coulomb energy of an infinitely heavy charge. At high temperature, the screening mass approaches $πT/2$, and this in the presence of a mass gap. The fractional Matsubara frequency arises from the action of a pair of induced merons at high temperature that are localized over a range on the order of the meson Compton wavelength $1/m=\sqrtπ/g$. We discuss the quenched approximation in this model, and comment on the possible relevance of some of these results to higher dimensions.
