Geometric Eisenstein Series, Intertwining Operators, and Shin's Averaging Formula

TL;DR

This paper extends the geometric Langlands program to the Fargues-Fontaine setting, constructing Eisenstein functors and eigensheaves, and connects these to Shin's averaging formula for local Shimura varieties, with explicit cohomological results.

Contribution

It develops a theory of geometric Eisenstein series over the Fargues-Fontaine curve, constructing Eisenstein functors and eigensheaves, and relates them to local Langlands correspondence and cohomological formulas.

Findings

Constructed Eisenstein functor on Fargues-Fontaine curve.

Established Hecke eigensheaves with explicit eigenvalues.

Generalized Shin's averaging formula to non-minuscule cases.

Abstract

In the geometric Langlands program over function fields, Braverman-Gaitsgory and Laumon constructed geometric Eisenstein functors which geometrize the classical construction of Eisenstein series. Fargues and Scholze very recently constructed a general candidate for the local Langlands correspondence, via a geometric Langlands correspondence occurring over the Fargues-Fontaine curve. We carry some of the theory of geometric Eisenstein series over to the Fargues-Fontaine setting. Namely, given a quasi-split connected reductive group $G/\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ with simply connected derived group and maximal torus $T$, we construct an Eisenstein functor $\mathrm{nEis}(-)$, which takes sheaves on $Bun_{T}$ to sheaves on $Bun_{G}$. We show that, given a sufficiently nice $L$-parameter $\phi_{T}: W_{\mathbb{Q}_{p}} \rightarrow \phantom{}^{L}T$, there is a Hecke eigensheaf on $Bun_{G}$ with eigenvalue $\phi$, given by applying $\mathrm{nEis}(-)$ to the Hecke eigensheaf $\mathcal{S}_{\phi_{T}}$ on $Bun_{T}$ attached to $\phi_{T}$ by Fargues and Zou. We show that $\mathrm{nEis}(\mathcal{S}_{\phi_{T}})$ interacts well with Verdier duality, and, assuming compatibility of the Fargues-Scholze correspondence with a suitably nice form of the local Langlands correspondence, provide an explicit formula for the stalks of the eigensheaf in terms of parabolic inductions of the character $\chi$ attached to $\phi_{T}$. This has several surprising consequences. First, it recovers special cases of an averaging formula of Shin for the cohomology of local Shimura varieties with rational coefficients, and generalizes it to the non-minuscule case. Second, it refines the averaging formula in the cases where the parameter $\phi$ is sufficiently nice, giving an explicit formula for the degrees of cohomology that certain parabolic inductions sit in, and this refined formula holds even with torsion coefficients.
