Drinfeld's conjecture on smooth sheaves on simply connected BunG

About 15 years old · traced to

Let GscG^{sc} be the simply connected cover of the derived group of a reductive group GG, and let Bun⁡Gsc\operatorname{Bun}_{G^{sc}} be the stack of GscG^{sc}-torsors on XX. A smooth Qˉℓ\mathbb{\bar Q}_\ell-sheaf on this stack is a lisse ℓ\ell-adic sheaf. Drinfeld's conjecture. Any smooth Qˉℓ\mathbb{\bar Q}_\ell-sheaf on Bun⁡Gsc\operatorname{Bun}_{G^{sc}} is constant. The conjecture would imply that the almost constant local systems arising in the study of the minimal representations have no nontrivial variation after pullback to Bun⁡Gsc\operatorname{Bun}_{G^{sc}}. The source reports no proof and notes that an ℓ\ell-adic version of results of Gaitsgory would imply it.
