What are the extended pure inner forms of a cover?

Representation Theory 2025-06-11 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

Kottwitz suggested to study all extended pure inner forms together in the local Langlands correspondence for linear reductive groups. We extend this philosophy to a large class of covers, including those defined by Brylinski and Deligne, and explain its relation with Weissman's observation that L-packets for covers are sometimes empty.
