Abstract

Let G(k)G(k) be the split form of the simple exceptional p-adic group of type F4F_4, and let O=F4(a3)\mathcal O = F_4(a_3) be the minimal distinguished nilpotent orbit. Our main result concerns the class of unipotent representations with cuspidal support at infinitesimal character Λ\Lambda determined by O\mathcal O. These representations are parameterized by local systems, {(S,L)}\{(S, \mathcal L)\}. We compute the characteristic cycles of the perverse sheaves IC(S,L)\text{IC}(S, \mathcal L) and determine all micro-packets in the sense of [Vo93]. In [CMBO24], the authors introduced a notion of weak Arthur packets in the p-adic setting. They conjectured that weak Arthur packets are unions of Arthur packets, in an appropriate sense. We verify that weak Arthur packets are unions of micro-packets.
