Abstract
Let be the split form of the simple exceptional p-adic group of type , and let be the minimal distinguished nilpotent orbit. Our main result concerns the class of unipotent representations with cuspidal support at infinitesimal character determined by . These representations are parameterized by local systems, . We compute the characteristic cycles of the perverse sheaves and determine all micro-packets in the sense of [Vo93]. In [CMBO24], the authors introduced a notion of weak Arthur packets in the p-adic setting. They conjectured that weak Arthur packets are unions of Arthur packets, in an appropriate sense. We verify that weak Arthur packets are unions of micro-packets.
