For perverse sheaves K on abelian varieties X defined over a finitely generated field F we prove that the Euler-Poincare characteristic (defined for the extension of K to the algebraic closure of F) is non-negative.
We define monoidal components attached to perverse sheaves on abelian varieties and discuss their properties.
We consider semisimple super Tannakian categories generated by an object whose symmetric or alternating tensor square is simple up to trivial summands. Using representation theory, we provide a criterion to identify the corresponding Tannaka super groups that applies in many situations. As an example we discuss the tensor category generated by the convolution powers of an algebraic curve inside its Jacobian variety.
The twisted fundamental lemmas for three series of stable twisted endoscopy (Sp_{2n} to PGL_{2n+1}, GSpin_{2n+1} to GL_{2n}\times GL_1, Sp_{2n} to SO_{2n+2}) will be reduced to a fundamental-lemma-like statement for ordinary (i.e. untwisted) stable orbital integrals on the groups $\SO_{2n+1}$ of type $B_n$ resp. $\SP_{2n}$ of type $C_n$. This manusript, written around 2001, anticipates similar results of Waldspurger (2008), and may be used to reduce the twisted fundamental lemma to the work of Ngo. The original aim was to reduce the fundumantal lemma for the lift from Sp_4 to PGL_5 to the twisted fundamental lemma for the lift from GSp_4=GSpin_5 to Gl_4 \times GL_1.
We construct a tensor functor from the category of super representations of the superlinear group Gl(m,n) over a field of characteristic zero to the category of super representations of the linear group Gl(m-n) over some extension field (for m at least equal to n). We show that this functor maps irreducible representations to isotypic representations, and we compute the multiplicities.
We prove multiplicity one for vector valued holomorphic Siegel modular forms of weights greater or equal to 3 and the full Siegel modular group and give a trace formula for the action of the Hecke operators T(p) in the regular cases.
A semisimple algebraic tensor category over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic zero is the representation category of all finite dimensional twisted super representations of an affine reductive supergroup G over k. Such a supergroup is reductive if and only if its connected component is reductive. The connected component is reductive if and only if the Lie superalgebra divided by its center is a product of simple Lie algebras of classical type and Lie superalgebras spo(1,2r) of the orthosymplectic types BC_r.
We prove a vanishing theorem for one forms on the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties of genus g>1 with level structure N over fields of characteristic p different from two. This is used to compute the Picard groups of these stacks. As an application we obtain results one congruences between integral Siegel modular forms.
We construct a $\bar Q_l$-linear Tannakian category attached to a smooth projective curve C equivalent to the category of finite dimensional $\bar Q_l$-representations Rep(G), where G is $Sp(2g-2,\bar Q_l)$ or $Sl(2g-2,\bar Q_l)$ depending on whether C is hyperelliptic or not.
We give an analytic proof of the norm index theorem $[I_:K^* N(I_L)] =[L:K]$ for cyclic extensions of number fields using spectral theory of the idele class group.
Starting from certain perverse sheaves on an abelian variety, including the intersection cohomology sheaves of curves and smooth ample divisors, we construct a semisimple super-Tannakian category.
We show that an irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of the group GSp(4,A), which is not CAP and whose infinite component belongs to the discrete series, is weakly equivalent to an irreducible generic automorphic cuspidal representation, whose infinite component belongs to the same archimedean local L-packet.
Torelli's theorem is proven by the study of the convolution product of the intersection cohomology sheaf of the thetadivisor.
