The formal degree conjecture and the root number conjecture are verified with respect to supercuspidal representations of $Sp_{2n}(F)$ and $L$-parameters associated with tamely ramified extension $K/F$ of degree $2n$. The supercuspidal representation is constructed as a compact induction from an irreducible unitary representation of the hyper special compact group $Sp_{2n}(O_F)$, which is explicitly constructed, based upon the general theory developed by the author, by $K$ and certain character $theta$ of the multiplicative group $K^{times}$. $L$-parameter is constructed by the data ${K,theta}$ by means of the local Langlands correspondence of tori and Langlands-Schelstad procedure.
As a consequence of the classification of finite simple groups, the classification of permutation groups of prime degree is complete, apart from the question of when the natural degree $(q^n-1)/(q-1)$ of ${rm PSL}_n(q)$ is prime. We present heuristic arguments and computational evidence based on the Bateman-Horn Conjecture to support a conjecture that for each prime $nge 3$ there are infinitely many primes of this form, even if one restricts to prime values of $q$. Similar arguments and results apply to the parameters of the simple groups ${rm PSL}_n(q)$, ${rm PSU}_n(q)$ and ${rm PSp}_{2n}(q)$ which arise in the work of Dixon and Zalesskii on linear groups of prime degree.
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over the non-archime-dean local field $F$ and let $pi$ be a supercuspidal representation of $G(F)$. The local Langlands conjecture posits that to such a $pi$ can be attached a parameter $L(pi)$, which is an equivalence class of homomorphisms from the Weil-Deligne group with values in the Langlands $L$-group ${}^LG$ over an appropriate algebraically closed field $C$ of characteristic $0$. When $F$ is of positive characteristic $p$ then Genestier and Lafforgue have defined a parameter, $L^{ss}(pi)$, which is a homomorphism $W_F ra {}^LG(C)$ that is {it semisimple} in the sense that, if the image of $L^{ss}(pi)$, intersected with the Langlands dual group $hat{G}(C)$, is contained in a parabolic subgroup $P subset hat{G}(C)$, then it is contained in a Levi subgroup of $P$. If the Frobenius eigenvalues of $L^{ss}(pi)$ are pure in an appropriate sense, then the local Langlands conjecture asserts that the image of $L^{ss}(pi)$ is in fact {it irreducible} -- its image is contained in no proper parabolic $P$. In particular, unless $G = GL(1)$, $L^{ss}(pi)$ is ramified: it is non-trivial on the inertia subgroup $I_F subset W_F$. In this paper we prove, at least when $G$ is split and semisimple, that this is the case provided $pi$ can be obtained as the induction of a representation of a compact open subgroup $U subset G(F)$, and provided the constant field of $F$ is of order greater than $3$. Conjecturally every $pi$ is compactly induced in this sense, and the property was recently proved by Fintzen to be true as long as $p$ does not divide the order of the Weyl group of $G$. The proof is an adaptation of the globalization method of cite{GLo} when the base curve is $PP^1$, and a simple application of Delignes Weil II.
In this paper we prove the Aubert-Baum-Plymen-Solleveld conjecture for the split classical groups and establish the connection with the Langlands correspondence. To do this, we review the notion of cuspidality for enhanced Langlands parameters and also review the notion of cuspidal support for enhanced Langlands parameters for split classical groups, both introduced by the author in earlier work.
Through combining the work of Jean-Loup Waldspurger (cite{waldspurger10} and cite{waldspurgertemperedggp}) and Raphael Beuzart-Plessis (cite{beuzart2015local}), we give a proof for the tempered part of the local Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture (cite{ggporiginal}) for special orthogonal groups over any local fields of characteristic zero, which was already proved by Waldspurger over $p$-adic fields.
We formulate a conjectural p-adic analogue of Borels theorem relating regulators for higher K-groups of number fields to special values of the corresponding zeta-functions, using syntomic regulators and p-adic L-functions. We also formulate a corresponding conjecture for Artin motives, and state a conjecture about the precise relation between the p-adic and classical situations. Parts of he conjectures are proved when the number field (or Artin motive) is Abelian over the rationals, and all conjectures are verified numerically in some other cases.
