On Representations of Weyl Groups attached to Spherical Varieties

Representation Theory 2026-07-27 v1

Abstract

To any smooth spherical GG variety XX we attach two representations of the Weyl group of GG. The first is constructed geometrically using Borel Moore homology. The second is constructed combinatorially using the structure of the Borel orbits on XX. Using the Fourier Sato transform, we show that both representations are isomorphic. We use this result to translate (in the cotangent case) a conjecture of Finkelberg-Ginzburg-Travkin in the relative Langlands program to a combinatorial problem. We solve this combinatorial problem for several examples.
