The motivic Tamagawa conjecture for simply connected groups

About 21 years old · traced to

Let CC be a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over kk, of genus gg, and let GG be a split semisimple connected algebraic group over kk. Denote by BunG,C{\mathfrak{Bun}}^{}_{G,C} the moduli stack of GG-torsors on CC, by μ(BunG,C)\mu({\mathfrak{Bun}}^{}_{G,C}) its motive, and by K^0G(Var⁡k)\widehat{K}_0^G(\operatorname{Var}_k) the relevant completed equivariant Grothendieck ring. Let d1,…,drd_1,\ldots,d_r be the numbers one higher than the exponents of GG, and let Z(C,u)Z(C,u) be the motivic zeta function of CC. The motivic Tamagawa conjecture. If GG is simply connected, then

μ(BunG,C)=L(g−1)dim⁡G∏i=1rZ(C,L−di)\mu({\mathfrak{Bun}}^{}_{G,C})={\mathbb L}^{(g-1)\dim G}\prod_{i=1}^r Z(C,{\mathbb L}^{-d_i})

in K^0G(Var⁡k)\widehat{K}_0^G(\operatorname{Var}_k). This is proposed as a motivic version of Weil's Tamagawa number conjecture. Its counting-measure specialization over a finite field is equivalent to the Tamagawa-number formula, and the paper gives evidence from Poincare characteristics, Harder's and Ono's results, and the case of C=P1C={\mathbb P}^1; the general motivic identity remains conjectural.
