Abstract

We establish a derived geometric Satake equivalence for the real group GR=PSO(2n1,1)G_{\mathbb R}=PSO(2n-1,1) (resp. PE6(F4)PE_6(F_4)), to be called the Lorentzian Satake equivalence (resp. Octonionic Satake equivalence). By applying the real-symmetric correspondence for affine Grassmannians, we obtain a derived geometric Satake equivalence for the splitting rank symmetric variety X=PSO2n/SO2n1X=PSO_{2n}/SO_{2n-1} (resp. PE6/F4PE_6/F_4). As an application, we compute the stalks of the IC\text{IC}-complexes for spherical orbit closures in the real affine Grassmannian for GRG_{\mathbb R} and the loop space of XX. We show the stalks are given by the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials for GL2GL_2 (resp. GL3GL_3) but with qq replaced by qn1q^{n-1} (resp. q4q^4).
