Abstract

For a connected reductive group GG over a non-archime\-dean local field FF of positive characteristic, Genestier and Lafforgue have attached a semisimple parameter \CLss(π)\CL^{ss}(\pi) to each irreducible representation π\pi. Our first result shows that the Genestier-Lafforgue parameter of a tempered π\pi can be uniquely refined to a tempered L-parameter \CL(π)\CL(\pi), thus giving the unique local Langlands correspondence which is compatible with the Genestier-Lafforgue construction. Our second result establishes ramification properties of \CLss(π)\CL^{ss}(\pi) for unramfied GG and supercuspidal π\pi constructed by induction from an open compact (modulo center) subgroup. If Lss(π)L^{ss}(\pi) is pure in an appropriate sense, we show that \CLss(π)\CL^{ss}(\pi) is ramified (unless GG is a torus). If the inducing subgroup is sufficiently small in a precise sense, we show Lss(π)\mathcal{L}^{ss}(\pi) is wildly ramified. The proofs are via global arguments, involving the construction of Poincar\'e series with strict control on ramification when the base curve is \PP1\PP^1 and a simple application of Deligne's Weil II.

Comments

Appendix by Rapha\"el Beuzart-Plessis added to version 3. The result on tempered Weil-Deligne parameters has been extended to discrete series, using the results of the Appendix. The result on ramification of pure supercuspidal parameters is now stated for general unramified reductive groups
