Kottwitz's trace formula conjecture for regular discrete series representations

About 16 years old · traced to

Let GG be the reductive group under consideration, let π\pi be a regular discrete series representation of G(R)G(\mathbb{R}), and let eπe_{\pi} denote the stable cuspidal test function associated with π\pi as in Section. Choose a compactly supported test function f∞∈Cc(G(Af))f^{\infty}\in C_c(G(\mathbb{A}_f)), with measures satisfying dgf dg∞=dgdg_f\,dg_{\infty}=dg, the Tamagawa measure on G(A)G(\mathbb{A}), and set f=f∞f∞f=f^{\infty}f_{\infty}, where f∞dg∞=eπf_{\infty}dg_{\infty}=e_{\pi}. Kottwitz's trace formula conjecture. One has

Kot⁡(f dg)=tr⁡Rdisc⁡(π,f∞dgf).\operatorname{Kot}(f\,dg)=\operatorname{tr} R_{\operatorname{disc}}(\pi,f^{\infty}dg_f).

This predicts that the stable trace formula with a regular discrete-series test function isolates the corresponding discrete automorphic representation's trace. The surrounding discussion establishes the analogous identity after summing over the relevant discrete-series packet, while the assertion for an individual regular discrete-series representation is presented as plausible and remains unresolved in the supplied text.
