Uniformity conjecture for local representation zeta functions of type A groups

About 12 years old · traced to

Let n∈N≥2n\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}. For a divisor ι(v)=gcd⁡(qv−ε(v),n)\iota(v)=\gcd(q_v-\varepsilon(v),n) of nn, where ε(v)∈{1,−1}\varepsilon(v)\in\{1,-1\} records whether the relevant quadratic extension splits at vv, let kk be a number field and let H\mathbf{H} be a connected, simply-connected absolutely almost simple kk-algebraic group of type~An−1\mathsf{A}_{n-1}. If H\mathbf{H} is an outer form, let KK be the quadratic extension appearing in its definition; if it is an inner form, put K=kK=k. The notation qvq_v denotes the residue cardinality of Ov{\mathcal{O}}_v. Uniformity conjecture. There exist finite index sets II and JJ, polynomials fι,ε,i,gι,ε,i∈Q[t]f_{\iota,\varepsilon,i},g_{\iota,\varepsilon,i}\in\mathbb{Q}[t] for (ι,ε,i)∈Div⁡(n)×{1,−1}×I(\iota,\varepsilon,i)\in\operatorname{Div}(n)\times\{1,-1\}\times I, and non-negative integers Aj,BjA_j,B_j for j∈Jj\in J, together with a finite set SS of places of kk, containing all archimedean places and depending on H\mathbf{H}, such that for every place v∉Sv\notin S,

ζH(Ov)(s)=∑i∈Ifι(v),ε(v),i(qv) gι(v),ε(v),i(qv)−s∏j∈J(1−qvAj−Bjs).\zeta_{\mathbf{H}({\mathcal{O}}_v)}(s)=\frac{\sum_{i\in I}f_{\iota(v),\varepsilon(v),i}(q_v)\,g_{\iota(v),\varepsilon(v),i}(q_v)^{-s}}{\prod_{j\in J}(1-q_v^{A_j-B_js})}.

This conjecture generalizes the established type A2\mathsf{A}_2 case and predicts a uniform rational form for almost all local factors, with dependence only on the residue cardinality and the indicated arithmetic data; its general case remains open.
