Stable germ expansion conjecture for quasi-split reductive groups
Stable germ expansion conjecture for quasi-split reductive groups
Let be a connected quasi-split reductive group over a non-archimedean local field . Let be the vector space of stable distributions on with true unipotent support, let denote the regular semisimple elements of , and write for the stable orbital integral of at . For , where is the center of , let be a neighbourhood of in . Stable germ expansion conjecture. (1) The vector space is finite dimensional. (2) There is a map
such that: (a) the distribution depends only on the stable conjugacy class of ; and (b) for every and , there is a neighbourhood of such that, for ,
This conjecture extends the stated germ-expansion theorem from the previously treated setting to arbitrary connected quasi-split reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields. Its first assertion is known in characteristic zero and expected in general, while the second requires the restriction to true unipotent elements because primitive rational elements can become unipotent only after extending the field; the structure of stable distributions with true unipotent support remains poorly understood.
