Orbital Integrals are Motivic

Representation Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

This article shows that under general conditions, p-adic orbital integrals of definable functions are represented by virtual Chow motives. This gives an explicit example of the philosophy of Denef and Loeser, which predicts that all naturally occurring p-adic integrals are motivic.
