Functoriality conjecture for Kloosterman sheaves

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let GG and G′G' be split almost simple groups over kk whose dual groups satisfy Gˇ⊃Gˇ′\check{G}\supset\check{G}' and appear in the same line of the paper's global-monodromy table. Let ϕ\phi be a generic linear function for GG. Functoriality conjecture. There exists a generic linear function ϕ′\phi' for G′G' such that, over U=P\{0,∞}1⊗kk‾U={\mathbb P}^1_{\backslash\{0,\infty\}}\otimes_k\overline{k}, the Gˇ\check{G}-Kloosterman sheaf Kl⁡Gˇ(ϕ)\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}}(\phi) is the pushout of the Gˇ′\check{G}'-Kloosterman sheaf Kl⁡Gˇ′(ϕ′)\operatorname{Kl}_{\check{G}'}(\phi'). This predicts compatibility of these sheaves under the indicated dual-group inclusion and is proposed as a further direction after the paper's monodromy calculations.
