The formal degree conjecture for groups over local function fields

Representation Theory 2026-05-26 v1

Abstract

In this article, we will prove that the formal degree conjecture is compatible with the Deligne-Kazhdan correspondence for quasi-split groups, assuming that the local Langlands correspondence is compatible with the Deligne-Kazhdan correspondence. Consequently, we establish the formal degree conjecture for GLn\operatorname{GL}_n over local function fields of characteristic p>0p > 0, and for Sp2n\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}, split SO2n\operatorname{SO}_{2n}, SO2n+1\operatorname{SO}_{2n+1}, and GSp4\operatorname{GSp}_4 over local function fields of characteristic p>2p > 2.
