Abstract

We prove a geometric local constancy theorem for affine Springer fibers in families of close local fields. Consequently, stable orbital integrals are locally constant in these families, and both the base change fundamental lemma and the standard endoscopic fundamental lemma transfer from characteristic zero to arbitrary positive characteristic.
