Kottwitz conjecture for local shtuka cohomology

About 2 years old · traced to

Let GG be a reductive group over \bbQp\bbQ_p, let b∈B(G)b\in B(G) be basic, let μ∙=(μi)i∈I\mu_\bullet=(\mu_i)_{i\in I} be a finite collection of conjugacy classes of cocharacters, and let ρ\rho be an irreducible admissible representation of Gb(\bbQp)G_b(\bbQ_p) with elliptic local Langlands parameter ϕ=ϕρ\phi=\phi_\rho. Thus ϕ\phi is semisimple and

Sϕ/Z(G^)W\bbQpS_\phi/Z(\widehat{G})^{W_{\bbQ_p}}

is finite. Write Irr⁡(Sϕ,χb)→Πϕ(G)\operatorname{Irr}(S_\phi,\chi_b)\to\Pi_\phi(G) for the predicted surjection, δ↦πδ\delta\mapsto\pi_\delta, and let VϕV_\phi be the associated Sϕ×WE∙S_\phi\times W_{E_\bullet}-representation. Define

Mant⁡G,b,μ∙(ρ)=∑n(−1)nHn(RΓ(G,b,μ∙)[ρ]).\operatorname{Mant}_{G,b,\mu_\bullet}(\rho)=\sum_n(-1)^nH^n(R\Gamma(G,b,\mu_\bullet)[\rho]).

Kottwitz conjecture. One has

Mant⁡G,b,μ∙(ρ)=∑δ∈Irr⁡(Sϕ,χb)πδ⊠Hom⁡Sϕ(δ,Vϕ).\operatorname{Mant}_{G,b,\mu_\bullet}(\rho)=\sum_{\delta\in\operatorname{Irr}(S_\phi,\chi_b)}\pi_\delta\boxtimes\operatorname{Hom}_{S_\phi}(\delta,V_\phi).

This is the predicted description of the intersection cohomology of local shtuka spaces in terms of the local Langlands correspondence; the accompanying text presents it as a natural generalization of the Kottwitz conjecture, but gives no resolution of the assertion here.
