Geometric stabilisation via p-adic integration

Algebraic Geometry 2019-10-29 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

In this article we give a new proof of Ng\^o's Geometric Stabilisation Theorem, which implies the Fundamental Lemma. This is a statement which relates the cohomology of Hitchin fibres for a quasi-split reductive group scheme GG to the cohomology of Hitchin fibres for the endoscopy groups HκH_{\kappa}. Our proof avoids the Decomposition and Support Theorem, instead the argument is based on results for pp-adic integration on coarse moduli spaces of Deligne-Mumford stacks. Along the way we establish a description of the inertia stack of the (anisotropic) moduli stack of GG-Higgs bundles in terms of endoscopic data, and extend duality for generic Hitchin fibres of Langlands dual group schemes to the quasi-split case.
