Abstract

Let GG~G \subseteq \tilde{G} be two quasisplit connected reductive groups over a local field of characteristic zero and Gder=G~derG_{der} = \tilde{G}_{der}. Although the existence of L-packets is still conjectural in general, it is believed that the L-packets of GG should be the restriction of that of G~\tilde{G}. Motivated by this, we hope to construct the L-packets of G~\tilde{G} from that of GG. The primary example in our mind is when G=Sp(2n)G = Sp(2n), whose L-packets have been determined by Arthur (2013), and G~=GSp(2n)\tilde{G} = GSp(2n). As a first step, we need to consider some well-known conjectural properties of L-packets. In this paper, we show how they can be deduced from the conjectural endoscopy theory. As an application, we obtain some structural information about L-packets of G~\tilde{G} from that of GG.
