1 Fundamental Lemma and Hitchin Fibration Gérard Laumon CNRS and Université Paris-Sud September 21, 2006

2 In order to: compute the Hasse-Weil zeta functions of Shimura varieties (for example A g ), prove endoscopic cases of the Langlands functoriality (for example the transfer from Sp(2n) to GL(2n)), one first needs to stabilize the Arthur-Selberg trace formula. This stabilization can only be done after having established some combinatorial identities between orbital integrals for p-adic reductive groups. The series of these conjectural identities form the so-called Fundamental Lemma.

3 There are four variants of the Fundamental Lemma: ordinary, twisted, weighted and twisted weighted. Here we only consider the ordinary Fundamental Lemma. First occurrence of the Fundamental Lemma in Labesse-Langlands paper (1979). General formulation of the Fundamental Lemma by Langlands-Shelstad (1987).

4 ORBITAL INTEGRALS FOR GL(n) O G γ = G γ(f )\G(F ) 1 K (g 1 γg) dg dg γ F non archimedan local field: for example F = Q p or F p ((ϖ)) O F the ring of integers of F : O Qp = Z p and O Fp((ϖ)) = F p [[ϖ]] G = GL(n), G(F ) p-adic or ϖ-adic Lie group K = G(O F ) G(F ) maximal compact open subgroup g = gl(n, F ) the Lie algebra of G(F ) K = Lie(K) = gl(n, O F ): an O F -lattice in the F -vector space g 1 K : g {0, 1} the characteristic function of K γ g regular semisimple its centralizer G γ is a maximal torus in G dg and dg γ Haar measures on G(F ) and G γ (F )

5 ORBITAL INTEGRALS FOR GL(n) AS NUMBERS OF LATTICES Lemma O G γ = X γ /Λ γ. Here: X γ = {O F -lattices M F n γ(m) M}, γ g regular semisimple F [γ] g commutative semisimple F -algebra of dimension n F [γ] = i I E i where (E i ) i I is a finite family of finite separable extensions of F, choices of uniformizers ϖ Ei s in the E i s F [γ] = Λ γ K γ where Λ γ = Z I and K γ = i I O E i maximal compact open subgroup of G γ (F ) = F [γ], Λ γ G γ (F ) acts freely on X γ, vol(k, dg) = vol(k γ, dg γ ) = 1.

6 UNITARY GROUPS [F : F ] = 2 unramified, Gal(F /F ) = {1, τ}. Φ n : F n F n F, (x, y) x τ 1 y n + x τ 2 y n x τ n y 1, standard hermitian form G(F ) = U(n, F ) GL(n, F ) unitary group. (E i ) i I finite family of finite separable extensions of F such that E i is disjoint of F E i = E i F, Gal(E i /E i) = Gal(F /F ) = {1, τ}. c = (c i ) i I, c i E i (E I, Φ I,c) = i I (E i, Φ i,c i ) hermitian space where: Φ i,ci : E i E i F, (x, y) Tr E i /F (c ix τ y). discr(φ i,ci ), discr(φ I,c ) F /N F /F F = Z/2Z, discr(φ I,c ) = i I discr(φ i,ci ).

7 ORBITAL INTEGRALS FOR UNITARY GROUPS Assume discr(φ I,c ) = 0 (E I, Φ I,c) = (F n, Φ n ). Choosing such an isomorphism ι c : i I {x E i x τ + x = 0} End F (E I, Φ I,c) = g. γ = (γ i ) i I E I such that: - γi τ + γ i = 0, - E i = F [γ i ] = F [x]/(p i ), P i the minimal polynomial of γ i, - (P i, P j ) = 1, i j, regular semisimple γ c = ι c (γ) g. Lemma O G γ c = the number of O F -lattices M E I such that: M c := {x E I Φ I,c (x, M) O F } = M, γm M.

8 STABLE CONJUGACY The G(F )-conjugacy class of γ c in g does not depend on the choice of the isomorphism (E I, Φ I,c) = (F n, Φ n ). The γ c s are stably conjugated: they are conjugated in GL(n, F ) but not necessarily in G(F ). The G(F )-conjugacy class of γ c only depends on µ(c) = (discr(φ i,ci )) i I (Z/2Z) I. As discr(φ I,c ) = 0, µ(c) lives in Λ 0 γ/2λ 0 γ where Λ 0 γ = Ker(+ : Z I Z). In other words γ defines a stable conjugacy class in g and inside this stable conjugacy class there are finitely many G(F )-conjugacy classes, which are parametrized by Λ 0 γ/2λ 0 γ.

9 κ-orbital INTEGRALS FOR UNITARY GROUPS For each µ Λ 0 γ/2λ 0 γ let us choose c µ with µ(c µ ) = µ. The γ cµ s form a system of representatives of the G(F )-conjugacy classes in the stable conjugacy class defined by γ. For any κ : Λ 0 γ/2λ 0 γ {±1} we then have the κ-orbital integral: O G,κ γ = κ(µ)o G γ cµ. µ Λ 0 γ /2Λ0 γ For κ = 1, the κ-orbital integral is also called the stable orbital integral: SO G γ := O G,1 γ.

10 LANGLANDS-SHELSTAD FUNDAMENTAL LEMMA FOR UNITARY GROUPS Conjecture (Langlands-Shelstad) Here: O G,κ γ = ( q) r SO H γ. G = U(n), γ = γ I = (γ i ) i I i I {x E i x τ + x = 0}, κ : Λ 0 γ/2λ 0 γ {±1} I = I 1 I 2 endoscopic group H = U(n 1 ) U(n 2 ) with n α = I α, SO H γ := SO U(n 1) γ I1 SO U(n 2) γ I2, q the number of elements of the residue field of F, r the valuation of the resultant of i I 1 P i and i I 2 P i (P i the minimal polynomial of γ i over F ). The computation of the transfer factor is due to Waldspurger.

11 RESULTS (CLASSICAL METHODS) Labesse-Langlands (1979): U(2). Kottwitz (1992) and Rogawski (1990): U(3). Waldspurger (2005): The equal characteristic case (F F p ((ϖ))) the unequal characteristic case (F Q p ).

12 RESULTS (GEOMETRIC METHODS) F = F q ((ϖ)), F q finite field of characteristic p. Theorem (Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson) The Langlands-Sheldstad Fundamental Lemma for unitary groups holds if the following conditions are satisfied p 0, E i = E does not depend on i I and is unramified over F, v F (α(γ)) = v F (β(γ)) for every pair of roots (α, β). This is the unramified equal valuation case. Theorem (Ngô-L.) The Langlands-Sheldstad Fundamental Lemma for unitary groups holds if p > n.

13 Grothendieck-Lefschetz fixed point formula The key of the geometric approaches is: Theorem (Grothendieck-Lefschetz fixed point formula) O G,κ γ = i ( 1) i Tr(Frob q, H i (X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ, L κ )). Here: X 0 γ is an algebraic variety over F q, a connected component of the affine Springer fiber X γ, Λ 0 γ is a lattice acting freely on X 0 γ, L κ is the rank 1 l-adic local system on X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ defined by the covering X 0 γ X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ and the character κ of its Galois group Λ 0 γ (l Char(F q )), Frob q is a suitable Frobenius endomorphism. Natural expectation: The Fundamental Lemma is the consequence of a (stronger) cohomological statement.

14 AFFINE SPRINGER FIBERS FOR GL(n) k algebraically closed, n > 0 the affine Grassmannian: X = {k[[ϖ]]-lattices M k((ϖ)) n }, an ind-scheme over k whose connected components are: X d = {M X [M : k[[ϖ]] n ] = d}, d Z. γ gl(n, k((ϖ))) regular semisimple the affine Springer fiber: X γ = {M X γ(m) M}, a closed ind subscheme of X. k((ϖ))[γ] = i I E i, choosing uniformizers ϖ Ei s of E i s free action of Λ γ = Z I on X γ by λ M = (ϖ λ i E i ) i I (M), Λ 0 γ = Ker(+ : Z I Z) stabilizes Xγ 0. Theorem (Kazhdan-Lusztig) X γ scheme locally of finite type over k and of finite dimension, whose connected components are the X d γ := X γ X d s, X γ /Λ γ = X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ is a projective scheme.

15 FROBENIUS ENDOMORPHISM k = F q Twisted Frobenius on GL(n, k((ϖ))) with respect to F q : Frob q (g) = Φ t( m g q ij,m ϖm ) 1 Φ, Φ = 1 1 U(n, F q ((ϖ))). γ regular semisimple in gl(n, k((ϖ))) affine Springer fiber X γ and its quotient X γ /Λ γ = X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ. γ fixed by Frob q a twisted Frobenius endomorphism Frob q on X 0 γ /Λ 0 γ.

16 GORESKY-KOTTWITZ-MACPHERSON APPROACH If a projective variety over k = F q is equipped with a torus action satisfying the following properties: the fixed point set is finite, the set of one-dimentional orbits is finite, the ordinary l-adic cohomology is pure, then one can explicitely compute its l-adic cohomology: one first computes its l-adic equivariant cohomology for the torus action by using Atiyah-Borel-Segal s localization to the fixed point set, one recovers the ordinary cohomology from the equivariant one.

17 PURE l-adic COHOMOLOGY k = F q, l p, Z separated scheme of finite type over k Z defined over F q Frob q acts on H i (Z, Q l ), H i (Z, Q l ) is pure of weight i eigenvalue α of Frob q, α = q i 2, Z has pure l-adic cohomology H i (Z, Q l ) is pure of weight i, i. Theorem (Deligne s main theorem) Assume Z proper and smooth over k. Then Z has pure l-adic cohomology.

18 l-adic COHOMOLOGY OF AFINE SPRINGER FIBERS The affine Springer fiber X γ not of finite type but H i (X γ, Q l ) makes sense. Assume that G and γ are defined over F q. Conjecture (Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson) The l-adic cohomology of X γ is pure. Theorem (Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson) Assume that γ is of equal valuations. Then the l-adic cohomology of X γ is pure.

19 TORUS ACTIONS ON AFFINE SPRINGER FIBERS k = F q, T G = GL(n) maximal torus of diagonal matrices, γ = diag(γ 1,..., γ n ) gl(n, k[[ϖ]]) regular semisimple (γ i γ j, i j) X γ = {M k((ϖ)) n γm M}, T and Λ = X (T ) = Z n act on X γ and the two actions commute. The fixed point set is discrete: Xγ T = { n i=1 ϖ λ i k[[ϖ]] λ Λ}, Xγ T plus action of Λ = Λ plus action by translations on itself.

20 EQUIVARIANT COHOMOLOGY OF AFFINE SPRINGER FIBERS H T (Spec(k), Q l) = Sym X (T ) Q l a = H T >0(Spec(k), Q l), H T (X T γ, Q l ) = Sym X (T ) Q l [[Λ]]. Theorem (Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson) Assume that H (X γ, Q l ) is pure. Then: the restriction map H T (X γ, Q l ) H T (X T γ, Q l ) is injective, its image = set of f Sym X (T ) Q l [[Λ]] such that f (1 α ) d α d Sym d X (T ) Q l [[Λ]], α R(G, T ), d = 1, 2,..., v F (α(γ)), H (X γ, Q l ) = H T (X γ, Q l )/ah T (X γ, Q l ).

21 NGÔ-L. APPROACH First main idea: Deform complicated affine Springer fibers into simpler ones (look for an analog of Grothendieck-Springer simultaneous resolution of the nilpotent cone). Problem: It does not seem to work! Second main idea: Replace affine Springer fibers (local objects) by compactified Jacobians (global objects). Third main idea: Hitchin fibration is a wonderful group theoretical family of compactified Jacobians.

22 PROBLEM IN DEFORMING AFFINE SPRINGER FIBERS ( ) tϖ 1 γ t = ϖ 3 gl(2, k[[ϖ]]) tϖ For t 0 the affine Springer fiber is a chain of projective lines and for t = 0 it is a single projective line no algebraic family. Replace the affine Springer fiber at t 0 by and at t = 0 by a nice algebraic family.

23 TORSION FREE MODULES γ gl(n, k[[ϖ]]) gl(n, k((ϖ))) regular semisimple, P = P(ϖ, x) k[[ϖ]][x] minimal polynomial of γ, R = k[[ϖ]][γ] = k[[ϖ]][x]/(p) Frac(R) = k((ϖ))[x]/(p), Spf(R) formal germ of plane curve (P(ϖ, x) = 0). P R moduli space of invertible R-modules M equipped with a rigidification M R Frac(R) = Frac(R), a commutative group scheme over k called the local Jacobian of Spf(R), P R moduli space of torsion free R-modules M equipped with a rigidification M R Frac(R) = Frac(R), an equivariant compactification of P R called the local compactified Jacobian of Spf(R). Proposition The tautological map X γ P R, (M stable by γ) (the R-module M), is an homeomorphism.

24 COMPACTIFIED JACOBIANS C integral projective curve over k with only plane curve singularities (Ô C,c = k[[x, y]]/(f ), c C). Pic(C) the moduli space of locally free O C -Modules of rank 1, a commutative group scheme over k called the Picard scheme or Jacobian of C, Pic(C) the moduli space of torsion free O C -Modules of generic rank 1, an equivariant compactification of Pic(C) called the compactified Jacobian of C. Proposition We have a natural isomorphism of algebraic stacks: [Pic(C)/Pic(C)] = c C[PÔC,c /PÔC,c ].

25 PURITY CONJECTURE FOR COMPACTIFIED JACOBIANS The purity conjecture of Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson for affine Springer fibers together with the previous two propositions (X γ = PR and [Pic(C)/Pic(C)] = c C [P Ô C,c /PÔC,c ]) imply: Conjecture Let C be any integral projective curve over k = F q. Assume C has only unibranch plane curve singularities. Then the l-adic cohomology of Pic(C) is pure. Variant with no unibranch assumption: replace Pic(C) by a suitable étale covering.

26 HITCHIN FIBRATION Γ a fixed connected smooth projective curve over k, g(γ) 2, a given effective Cartier divisor on Γ, deg( ) > 2g(Γ) 2, M the algebraic stack of Higgs (or Hitchin) pairs (E, θ) where: E rank n vector bundle on Γ, θ : E E( ), A = n i=1 H0 (Γ, O Γ (i )). Hitchin fibration: m : M A with m(e, θ) = ( tr(θ), tr( 2 θ),..., ( 1) n tr( n θ))

27 SPECTRAL CURVES p : Σ = V(O Γ ( )) Γ ruled surface, u H 0 (Σ, p O Γ ( )) universal section. a A the spectral curve C a Σ with equation: C a = {u n + p a 1 u n p a n = 0}, p : C a Γ is a finite ramified covering of degree n. Proposition (Beauville-Narasimhan-Ramanan) a A such that C a is reduced, m 1 (a) = M a is canonically isomorphic to Pic(C a ).

28 ABOUT OUR PROOF First of all we work with the Hitchin fibration for an unramified unitary group scheme over Γ. Next we use Goresky-Kottwitz-MacPherson approach via equivariant cohomology, but now in family. The required purity conjecture follows from Deligne s purity theorem for Rm Q l where m : M A is the Hitchin fibration.
