Abstract

Laumon introduced the local Fourier transform for \ell-adic Galois representations of local fields, of equal characteristic pp different from \ell, as a powerful tool to study the Fourier-Deligne transform of \ell-adic sheaves over the affine line. In this article, we compute explicitly the local Fourier transform of monomial representations satisfying a certain ramification condition, and deduce Laumon's formula relating the epsilon factor to the determinant of the local Fourier transform under the same condition.
