1. The closure ordering conjecture on local Arthur packets of classical groups

   https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2025-0012  

   Hazeltine, Alexander; Liu, Baiying; Lo, Chi-Heng; Zhang, Qing (March 2025, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

   Abstract We prove the closure ordering conjecture on the local 𝐿-parameters of representations in local Arthur packets of ${\mathrm{G}}_n={\mathrm{Sp}}_{2n},{\mathrm{SO}}_{2n+1}$\mathrm{G}_{n}=\mathrm{Sp}_{2n},\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}over a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic zero.Precisely, given any representation 𝜋 in a local Arthur packet ${\mathrm{\Pi }}_{\psi }$\Pi_{\psi}, the closure of the local 𝐿-parameter of 𝜋 in the Vogan variety must contain the local 𝐿-parameter corresponding to 𝜓.This conjecture reveals a geometric nature of local Arthur packets and is inspired by the work of Adams, Barbasch and Vogan, and the work of Cunningham, Fiori, Moussaoui, Mracek and Xu, on ABV-packets.As an application, for general quasi-split connected reductive groups, we show that the closure ordering conjecture implies the enhanced Shahidi conjecture, under certain reasonable assumptions.This provides a framework towards the enhanced Shahidi conjecture in general.We verify these assumptions for ${\mathrm{G}}_n$\mathrm{G}_{n}, hence give a new proof of the enhanced Shahidi conjecture.Finally, we show that local Arthur packets cannot be fully contained in other ones, which is in contrast to the situation over Archimedean local fields and is of independent interest.

2. On wavefront sets of global Arthur packets of classical groups: Upper bound

   https://doi.org/10.4171/JEMS/1446  

   Jiang, Dihua; Liu, Baiying (July 2025, Journal of the European Mathematical Society)

   We prove a conjecture of the first named author (2014) on the upper bound Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms in Arthur packets of all classical groups over any number field. This conjecture generalizes the global version of the local temperedL-packet conjecture of Shahidi (1990). Under certain assumption, we also compute the wavefront sets of the unramified unitary dual for split classical groups.

3. Coherent Springer theory and the categorical Deligne-Langlands correspondence

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00222-023-01224-2  

   Ben-Zvi, David; Chen, Harrison; Helm, David; Nadler, David (February 2024, Inventiones mathematicae)

   Abstract Kazhdan and Lusztig identified the affine Hecke algebra ℋ with an equivariant$$K$$ $K$-group of the Steinberg variety, and applied this to prove the Deligne-Langlands conjecture, i.e., the local Langlands parametrization of irreducible representations of reductive groups over nonarchimedean local fields$$F$$ $F$with an Iwahori-fixed vector. We apply techniques from derived algebraic geometry to pass from$$K$$ $K$-theory to Hochschild homology and thereby identify ℋ with the endomorphisms of a coherent sheaf on the stack of unipotent Langlands parameters, thecoherent Springer sheaf. As a result the derived category of ℋ-modules is realized as a full subcategory of coherent sheaves on this stack, confirming expectations from strong forms of the local Langlands correspondence (including recent conjectures of Fargues-Scholze, Hellmann and Zhu). In the case of the general linear group our result allows us to lift the local Langlands classification of irreducible representations to a categorical statement: we construct a full embedding of the derived category of smooth representations of$$\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$$ ${\mathrm{GL}}_n\left(F\right)$into coherent sheaves on the stack of Langlands parameters.

4. Character bounds for regular semisimple elements and asymptotic results on Thompson’s conjecture

   https://doi.org/10.1007/s00209-022-03193-3  

   Larsen, Michael; Taylor, Jay; Tiep, Pham Huu (February 2023, Mathematische Zeitschrift)

   Abstract For every integer k there exists a bound $$B=B(k)$$ B = B ( k ) such that if the characteristic polynomial of $$g\in \textrm{SL}_n(q)$$ g ∈ SL n ( q ) is the product of $$\le k$$ ≤ k pairwise distinct monic irreducible polynomials over $$\mathbb {F}_q$$ F q , then every element x of $$\textrm{SL}_n(q)$$ SL n ( q ) of support at least B is the product of two conjugates of g . We prove this and analogous results for the other classical groups over finite fields; in the orthogonal and symplectic cases, the result is slightly weaker. With finitely many exceptions ( p ,  q ), in the special case that $$n=p$$ n = p is prime, if g has order $$\frac{q^p-1}{q-1}$$ q p - 1 q - 1 , then every non-scalar element $$x \in \textrm{SL}_p(q)$$ x ∈ SL p ( q ) is the product of two conjugates of g . The proofs use the Frobenius formula together with upper bounds for values of unipotent and quadratic unipotent characters in finite classical groups.

5. On cuspidality of global Arthur packets for symplectic groups

   Jiang, Dihua; Liu, Baiying (April 2018, Proceedings of the Simons symposium, Geometric aspects of the trace formula)

   In [2], J. Arthur classifies the automorphic discrete spectrum of symplectic groups up to global Arthur packets. We continue with our investigation of Fourier coefficients and their im- plication to the structure of the cuspidal spectrum for symplectic groups ([16] and [20]). As result, we obtain certain characteri- zation and construction of small cuspidal automorphic represen- tations and gain a better understanding of global Arthur packets and of the structure of local unramified components of the cusp- idal spectrum, which has impacts to the generalized Ramanujan problem as posted by P. Sarnak in [43].
