A method going back to Godement and Jacquet yields a description of $L$ using as an input a certain space ${\\mathcal S}_\\rho$ of functions on $G$ depending on $\\rho$. A (partly conjectural) description of ${\\mathcal S}_\\rho$ involving trace of Frobenius functions associated to perverse sheaves on the loop space of a semigroup containing $G$ was developed %by Bouthier, Ngo and Sakellaridis, partly based on an earlier work of Braverman and Kazhdan. Here we propose a different, more general conjectural description of ${\\mathcal S}_\\rho$: it also refers to trace of Frobenius functions but instead of the loop space of a semi-group we work with the ramified global Grassmannian fibering over the configuration space of points on a global curve defined by Beilinson-Drinfeld and Gaitsgory (a relation between two approaches is discussed in the appendix). Our main result asserts validity of our conjectures where $\\pi$ is generated by an Iwahori fixed vector: we show that in this case it is compatible with the standard formula for $L$ involving local Langlands correspondence which is known for such representations $\\pi$. The proof is based on properties of the coherent realization of the affine Hecke category.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-05-25T04:33:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "perverse sheaves", "local l-factors", "schwartz spaces", "frobenius functions", "loop space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
