Abstract

Let GG be a connected reductive algebraic group over a non-Archimedean local field KK, and let gg be its Lie algebra. By a theorem of Harish-Chandra, if KK has characteristic zero, the Fourier transforms of orbital integrals are represented on the set of regular elements in g(K)g(K) by locally constant functions, which, extended by zero to all of g(K)g(K), are locally integrable. In this paper, we prove that these functions are in fact specializations of constructible motivic exponential functions. Combining this with the Transfer Principle for integrability [R. Cluckers, J. Gordon, I. Halupczok, "Transfer principles for integrability and boundedness conditions for motivic exponential functions", preprint arXiv:1111.4405], we obtain that Harish-Chandra's theorem holds also when KK is a non-Archimedean local field of sufficiently large positive characteristic. Under the hypothesis on the existence of the mock exponential map, this also implies local integrability of Harish-Chandra characters of admissible representations of G(K)G(K), where KK is an equicharacteristic field of sufficiently large (depending on the root datum of GG) characteristic.

Compared to v2/v3: some proofs simplified, the main statement generalized; slightly reorganized. Regarding the automatically generated text overlap note: it overlaps with the Appendix B (which is part of arXiv:1208.1945) written by us; the appendix and this article cross-reference each other, and since the set-up is very similar, some overlap is unavoidable
