Abstract

Let X{\mathcal X} be a category fibered in groupoids over a finite field Fq\mathbb{F}_q, and let kk be an algebraically closed field containing Fq\mathbb{F}_q. Denote by ϕk ⁣:XkXk\phi_k\colon {\mathcal X}_k\to {\mathcal X}_k the arithmetic Frobenius of Xk/k{\mathcal X}_k/k and suppose that M{\mathcal M} is a stack over Fq\mathbb{F}_q (not necessarily in groupoids). Then there is a natural functor αM,X ⁣:M(X)M(Dk(X))\alpha_{{\mathcal M},{\mathcal X}}\colon{\mathcal M}({\mathcal X})\to{\mathcal M}({\mathbf D_k}({\mathcal X})), where M(Dk(X)){\mathcal M}({\mathbf D_k}({\mathcal X})) is the category of ϕk\phi_k-invariant maps XkM{\mathcal X}_k\to {\mathcal M}. A version of Drinfeld's lemma states that if X{\mathcal X} is a projective scheme and M{\mathcal M} is the stack of quasi-coherent sheaves of finite presentation, then αM,X\alpha_{{\mathcal M},{\mathcal X}} is an equivalence. We extend this result in several directions. For proper algebraic stacks or affine gerbes X{\mathcal X}, we prove Drinfeld's lemma and deduce that αM,X\alpha_{{\mathcal M},{\mathcal X}} is an equivalence for very general algebraic stacks M{\mathcal M}. For arbitrary X{\mathcal X}, we show that αM,X\alpha_{{\mathcal M},{\mathcal X}} is an equivalence when M{\mathcal M} is the stack of immersions, the stack of quasi-compact separated \'etale morphisms or any quasi-separated Deligne-Mumford stack with separated diagonal.
