Abstract

Let K˘\breve{K} be a complete discrete valuation field with an algebraically closed residue field k{k} and ring of integers O˘\breve{{O}}. Let TT be a torus defined over K˘\breve{K}. Let L+TL^+T denote the connected commutative pro-algebraic group over k{k} obtained by applying the Greenberg functor to the connected N\'eron model of TT over O˘\breve{{O}}. Following the work of Serre for the multiplicative group, we first compute the fundamental group π1(L+T)\pi_1(L^+T). We then study multiplicative local systems (or character sheaves) on L+TL^+T and establish a local Langlands correspondence for them. Namely, we construct a canonical isomorphism of abelian groups between the group of multiplicative local systems on L+TL^+T and inertial local Langlands parameters for TT. Finally, we relate our results to the classical local Langlands correspondence for tori over local fields due to Langlands, via the sheaf-function correspondence.
