Faber–van der Geer conjectural formula for strict endoscopic Euler characteristics

About 13 years old · traced to

Let A2\mathcal{A}_2 be the moduli space of principally polarized abelian surfaces, let V(λ)\mathbb{V}(\lambda) be the local system of weight λ=(l,m)\lambda=(l,m), and let eendo(A2,V(λ))e_{\mathrm{endo}}(\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{V}(\lambda)) denote the motivic Euler characteristic of the strict endoscopic part of the inner cohomology. For sufficiently regular λ\lambda, this strict endoscopic part is defined from

HEnds3(A2,V(λ))=⨁π∈Cm(π)(πfin)K0,H_{\mathrm{End}^{\mathrm{s}}}^{3}(\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{V}(\lambda))=\bigoplus_{\pi\in\mathcal{C}}m(\pi)(\pi_{fin})^{K_0},

where K0K_0 is the standard paramodular level subgroup and C\mathcal{C} consists of the irreducible cuspidal automorphic representations whose contribution to H!3(A2,V(λ))H^3_!(\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{V}(\lambda)) vanishes. Faber–van der Geer's conjecture. With this notation, for sufficiently regular λ=(l,m)\lambda=(l,m),

eendo(A2,V(λ))=−sl+m+4S[l−m+2]Lm+1.e_{\mathrm{endo}}(\mathcal{A}_2,\mathbb{V}(\lambda))=-s_{l+m+4}S[l-m+2]\mathbb{L}^{m+1}.

The formula gives a motivic description of the strict endoscopic contribution to the cohomology of the genus-two Siegel modular variety. The supplied text attributes it to C. Faber and G. van der Geer but does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
