Deformations of local systems and Eisenstein series
Abstract
Let be a (smooth and complete) curve and a reductive group. In [BG] we introduced the object that we called "geometric Eisenstein series". This is a perverse sheaf (or rather a complex of such) on the moduli stack of principal -bundles on , which is attached to a local system on with respect to the torus , Langlands dual to the Cartan subgroup . In loc. cit. we showed that corresponds to the -local system induced from , in the sense of the geometric Langlands correspondence. In the present paper we address the following question, suggested by V. Drinfeld: what is the perverse sheaf on that corresponds to the universal deformation of as a local system with respect to the Borel subgroup ? We prove, following a conjecture of Drinfeld, that the resulting perverse sheaf if the classical, i.e., non-compactified Eisenstein series.
