Abstract

Let GG be a split connected semisimple group over a field. We give a conjectural formula for the motive of the stack of GG-bundles over a curve CC, in terms of special values of the motivic zeta function of CC. The formula is true if C=\pp1C=\pp^1 or G=\slnG=\sln. If k=\cck=\cc, upon applying the Poincar\'e or Serre characteristic, the formula reduces to results of Teleman and Atiyah-Bott on the gauge group. If k=\ffqk=\ffq, upon applying the counting measure, it reduces to the fact that the Tamagawa number of GG over the function field of CC is π1(G)|\pi_1(G)|.
