This paper presents three theorems in that direction. The first theorem shows how Lusztig's work on perverse sheaves arising from graded Lie algebras may be brought to bear on the problem; the second theorem proves that Arthur parameters determine strongly regular conormal vectors to a parameter space of certain Langlands parameters; the third theorem shows how to replace the microlocalisation functor as it appears in the work of Adams, Barbasch and Vogan with a functor built from Deligne's vanishing cycles functor. The paper concludes with three conjectures, the first of which is the prediction that Arthur packets are Adams-Barbasch-Vogan packets for $p$-adic groups. This paper is the first in a series.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-04T15:36:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F70", "22E50", "35A27", "32S30" ], "keywords": [ "adic groups", "arthur packets", "adams-barbasch-vogan packets", "strongly regular conormal vectors", "conjectures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
