Applications of (higher) categorical trace II: Deligne-Lusztig theory
We use the formalism of the (2-category) AGCat, developed in [GRV], and the operation of higher categorical trace to (re)derive a number of results in the Deligne-Lusztig theory.

We use the formalism of the (2-category) AGCat, developed in [GRV], and the operation of higher categorical trace to (re)derive a number of results in the Deligne-Lusztig theory.
We prove that the trace of the Frobenius endofunctor of the category of automorphic sheaves with nilpotent singular support maps isomorphically to the space of unramified automorphic functions, settling a conjecture from [AGKRRV1]. More generally, we show that traces of Frobenius-Hecke functors produce shtuka cohomologies.
We identify the category Shv_{Nilp}(Bun_G) of automorphic sheaves with nilpotent singular support with its own dual, and relate this structure to the Serre functor on Shv_{Nilp}(Bun_G) and miraculous duality.
We define a new geometric object--the stack of local systems with restricted variation. We formulate a version of the categorical geometric Langlands conjecture that makes sense for any constructible sheaf theory (such as l-adic sheaves). We formulate a conjecture that makes precise the connection between the category of automorphic sheaves and the space of automorphic functions.
The goal of this paper is to provide a categorical framework that leads to the definition of shtukas à la Drinfeld and of excursion operators à la V. Lafforgue. We take as the point of departure the Hecke action of Rep(G^L) on the category Shv(Bun_G) of sheaves on Bun_G, and also the endofunctor of the latter category, given by the action of the geometric Frobenius. The shtuka construction will be obtained by applying (various versions of) categorical trace.
