Abstract

We study pp-adic manifolds associated with twisted points of quotient stacks X=[U/G]\mathcal{X} = [U/G] and their quotient spaces π:XX\pi:\mathcal{X} \to X. We prove several structural results about the fibres of π\pi and derive in particular a formula expressing pp-adic integrals on XX in terms of the cyclotomic inertia stack of X\mathcal{X}, generalizing the orbifold formula for Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then apply our formalism to moduli problems associated to hereditary abelian categories with symmetric Euler pairing, and show that their refined BPS-invariants are computed locally on the coarse moduli space by a pp-adic integral. As a consequence we recover the χ\chi-independence of these invariants for 11-dimensional sheaves on del Pezzo surfaces previously proven by Maulik--Shen. Along the way we derive a new formula for the plethystic logarithm on the λ\lambda-ring of functions on kk-linear stacks, which might be of independent interest.
