The point of this talk is to see the entire elephant! \end{remark} \begin{remark} In the analogy between number fields and 3-manifolds, automorphic forms are on the number field side -- what is the manifold analog? Some history: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Mazur 63/64, in conversations with Artin: \(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}/p{\mathbb{Z}}\to \operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}\) is like a knot in a (simply connected) 3-manifold. \item Weil 49: Weil conjectures, there should be an ``algebraic'' cohomology theory \(H^*({-})\) for \(X_{/ {k}}\) for \(k = \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muk\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\) where \(H^*(X({\mathbb{C}}))\) recovers singular cohomology. \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Artin/Grothendieck: for finite coefficients, realized this using \textbf{étale cohomology} \(H^*_\text{ét}(X)\). \end{itemize} \item Tate 62, Poitou 61: looked at Galois cohomology, showed \(H_\text{ét}^*(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}})\) (or other number rings) has a ``Poincare duality'' \(H^i \rightleftharpoons H^{3-i}\), making it look like a 3-manifold. Recovers results in class field theory. \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{example}[Varieties with automorphisms] Let \(X = V(x^3+y^3+z^3) \subseteq {\mathbb{P}}^2_{/ {{\mathbb{C}}}}\); there are automorphisms \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(x\mapsto y, x\mapsto z\), etc \item \(x\mapsto \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mux\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu, y\mapsto \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muy\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\), etc \item \(x,y,z \mapsto \sigma(x), \sigma(y), \sigma(z)\) for \(\sigma\in S_3\) \end{itemize} These should all act on \(H^*(X)\) for any such \(H^*\), but conjugation is quite discontinuous. \end{example} \begin{example}[Manifolds vs schemes] Let \(X \in {\mathsf{Mfd}}\), how does one compute \(H^*_{\mathrm{sing}}(X; {\mathbb{Z}})\)? Reduce to a linear-algebraic problem by triangulating and forming a chain complex of simplices. However, for \(X \coloneqq\operatorname{Spec}R, R\coloneqq{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{2} } \right] }\), \begin{align*} H^1_\text{ét}(X; C_2) &= R^{\times}/{ {R^{\times}}_{\scriptscriptstyle \square} }= \left\{{\pm 1,\pm 2}\right\} \cong C_2{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\times^{2} } } \\ H^2_\text{ét}(X; C_2) &= {\mathsf{Quat}}{\mathsf{Alg}}_{/ {R}} = \left\{{ \operatorname{Mat}_{2\times 2}(R), R[i,j,k]/\left\langle{i^2=j^2=k^2=-1}\right\rangle }\right\} .\end{align*} so \(H^2\) classifies quaternion algebras over \(R\). So computing this is very different to the case of manifolds! Also note that these are not dual on-the-nose, since \(H^1,H^2\) have different orders. \end{example} \begin{remark} Comparing duality for number rings vs 3-manifolds. For us, a number ring will be \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \({\mathcal{O}}_{K, S}\) for \(K\) a number field, where \(S\) is a finite number of primes we can invert (the \textbf{\(S{\hbox{-}}\)integers of \(K\)}), or \item functions on a smooth curve over \({\mathbb{F}}_q\). \end{itemize} For simplicity, we'll take \(R = {\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }, X = \operatorname{Spec}R\). For \(M\in{\mathsf{Ab}}{\mathsf{Grp}}\) a \(p{\hbox{-}}\)torsion group (where we need the order to be invertible in \(R\)), we'll consider \begin{align*} H^i(X; M) \coloneqq H^i_\text{ét}(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }; M) .\end{align*} There is a LES involving \(M {}^{ \vee }\coloneqq\mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}_{\mathsf{Grp}}(M, S^1) = \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}_{\mathsf{Grp}}(M, \mu_{p^\infty})\) where \(\mu_{p^\infty}\) are the \(p{\hbox{-}}\)power roots of 1: \begin{center} \begin{tikzcd} &&&& {H^{i-1}(\cdots)} \\ \\ {H^{3-i}({\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }; M {}^{ \vee }) {}^{ \vee }} && {H^i({\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }; M)} && {H^i({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }; M)} \\ \\ {H^{i+1}(\cdots)} \arrow[from=3-1, to=3-3] \arrow[from=3-3, to=3-5] \arrow[from=1-5, to=3-1] \arrow[from=3-5, to=5-1] \end{tikzcd} \end{center} \begin{quote} \href{https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsNSxbMiwyLCJIXmkoXFxaWlxcaW52ZXJ0IHA7IE0pIl0sWzQsMiwiSF5pKFxcUVFwYWRpYzsgTSkiXSxbMCwyLCJIXnszLWl9KFxcWlpcXGludmVydCBwOyBNXFxkdWFsKVxcZHVhbCJdLFs0LDAsIkhee2ktMX0oXFxjZG90cykiXSxbMCw0LCJIXntpKzF9KFxcY2RvdHMpIl0sWzIsMF0sWzAsMV0sWzMsMl0sWzEsNF1d}{Link to Diagram} \end{quote} On the other hand, let \(X\in {\mathsf{Mfd}}^3\) be a manifold with boundary, then there is a LES \begin{center} \begin{tikzcd} &&&& {H^{i-1}(\cdots)} \\ \\ {H^i(X, {{\partial}}X; M) \cong H^{3-i}(X; M {}^{ \vee }) {}^{ \vee }} && {H^i(X; M)} && {H^i({{\partial}}X; M)} \\ \\ {H^{i+1}(\cdots)} \arrow[from=3-1, to=3-3] \arrow[from=3-3, to=3-5] \arrow[from=1-5, to=3-1] \arrow[from=3-5, to=5-1] \end{tikzcd} \end{center} \begin{quote} \href{https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsNSxbMiwyLCJIXmkoWDsgTSkiXSxbNCwyLCJIXmkoXFxiZCBYOyBNKSJdLFswLDIsIkheaShYLCBcXGJkIFg7IE0pIFxcY29uZyBIXnszLWl9KFg7IE1cXGR1YWwpXFxkdWFsIl0sWzQsMCwiSF57aS0xfShcXGNkb3RzKSJdLFswLDQsIkhee2krMX0oXFxjZG90cykiXSxbMiwwXSxbMCwxXSxbMywyXSxbMSw0XV0=}{Link to Diagram} \end{quote} So \(X \approx {\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }\) is a (nonorientable!) 3-manifold in this analogy, with \({{\partial}}X \approx { {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\), which is now like a 2-manifold. The nonorientable assumption here is related to the need to twist the Galois actions on the scheme side. How to realize this: delete a tubular neighborhood of the knot, then \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \({{\partial}}X = {{\partial}}\nu(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}/p{\mathbb{Z}}) \approx { {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\). \item \(\operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }\approx \nu\), \item \({{\partial}}\operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }\approx {{\partial}}\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] } \sim \operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\). \end{itemize} \includegraphics{figures/2022-03-05_11-44-31.png} \end{remark} \begin{remark} \envlist \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item The 3-dimensional objects: \(\operatorname{Spec}R\) for \(R = {\mathbb{Z}}, {\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }, {\mathbb{Z}} { \left[ \scriptstyle {\sqrt 2} \right] }\), or \({\mathbb{F}}_p(t)\), \({ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }\), or projective smooth curves over \({\mathbb{F}}_p\). \item The 2-dimensional objects: \({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }, {\mathbb{F}}_p{\left(\left( t \right)\right) }\), or projective smooth curves over \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{\mathbb{F}}\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu_p\). \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{remark} Relating to automorphic forms: for \(G={\operatorname{SL}}_2\), \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item For \({\mathbb{Z}}\), we study the vector space \({\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}= \left\{{\text{functions on } \dcosetl{G({\mathbb{Z}})}{G({\mathbb{R}})}}\right\}\). \item For \({\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }\), we instead look at \({\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }}= \left\{{\text{functions on } \dcosetl{G({\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] })}{ G({\mathbb{R}}) \times G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })} }\right\}\). \end{itemize} We would like some association that works similarly: \begin{align*} {\mathsf{Mfd}}^3 &\to { \mathsf{Vect} }_{/ {k}} \\ M &\mapsto {\mathcal{A}}_M .\end{align*} \end{remark} \begin{example}[?] A non-example is \(M\mapsto H_{\mathrm{sing}}^*(M; {\mathbb{C}})\), which behaves nothing like \({\mathbb{Z}}\mapsto {\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}\). E.g. it has the wrong type of functoriality: the map \({\mathbb{Z}}\to {\mathbb{Z}} { \left[ \scriptstyle {\sqrt 2} \right] }\) is like a branched double cover, but for manifolds there are maps both ways and here it is difficult to find wrong-way maps. Moreover the corresponding spaces of automorphic forms \({\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}}, {\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }}\) differ by far more than just a part coming from \({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\). Note also that \(H^*(M \cup N) \cong H^*(M) \oplus H^*(N)\), but for automorphic forms we have \({\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}\oplus {\mathbb{Z}}} \cong {\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}\otimes{\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}\), where the source is like a degenerate quadratic extension. \end{example} \begin{remark} A heavily studied piece of the analogy: \begin{align*} {\operatorname{ {\text{Automorphic forms}} }}\rightleftharpoons{\mathsf{TQFT}} ,\end{align*} coming from the \href{https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0604151}{Kapustin-Witten 2006}, where a (4-dimensional) TQFT is a essentially a monoidal functor: \begin{align*} {\mathsf{TQFT}}^3 = [({\mathsf{Bord}}^3, {\textstyle\coprod}) \to ({ \mathsf{Vect} }_{/ {k}} , \otimes_k)] .\end{align*} . \begin{quote} See \href{https://www.math.ru.nl/~mueger/TQFT/At.pdf}{Atiyah TQFT}, section 2. \end{quote} \end{remark} \hypertarget{closing-akshay-venkatesh}{% \section{Closing: Akshay Venkatesh}\label{closing-akshay-venkatesh}} \begin{remark} Automorphic forms using TFQTs as a metaphor. We'll consider \({\mathsf{TQFT}}_4 = [({\mathsf{Bord}}^3, {\textstyle\coprod}), ({ \mathsf{Vect} }_{/ {{\mathbb{C}}}} , \otimes_{\mathbb{C}})]\) where \({\mathsf{Bord}}^3\) is the category whose objects are 3-manifolds and morphisms \(M\to N\) are 4-manifolds \(W\) with \({{\partial}}W = M {\textstyle\coprod}N\). These are meant to extract invariants of 4-manifolds that are amenable to cut-and-paste arguments. The correspondences: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Manifolds \(M \leadsto\) vector spaces \(A_M\), \item Bordisms \((M\to N)\leadsto\) linear maps \(A_M\to A_N\), \item A 4-manifold \(Z\) with boundary \(M \leadsto\) a vector \(v_Z \in A_M\) \item A 4-manifold \(Z\) with empty boundary \(\leadsto \lambda_Z\in {\mathbb{C}}\) \item A decomposition \(X\) without boundary into \(M{\textstyle\coprod}_Z N \leadsto\) vector \(\ell\in A_M, r\in A_M {}^{ \vee }\), where \({\left\langle {\ell},~{r} \right\rangle} = \lambda_Z\). \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{example}[A $\TQFT_2$ due to Dijkgraaf-Witten] Fix \(G\in{\mathsf{Fin}}{\mathsf{Grp}}\), and a correspondence \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(S^1 \leadsto {\mathbb{C}}[G]^{\mathrm{conj} }\), conjugacy-invariant functions in the group algebra, \item Pants \(\leadsto\) multiplication \item \(\Sigma_g\) a genus \(g\) surface \(\leadsto {1\over k!} N\) where \(N\) is the number of ways to write \(e\in G\) as a product of \(g\) commutators. \end{itemize} \end{example} \begin{remark} An informal definition of \textbf{extended TQFTs}, in particular \({\mathsf{TQFT}}_4\): \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item 4-manifolds \(\leadsto {\mathbb{C}}\) \item 3-manifolds \(\leadsto { \mathsf{Vect} }_{/ {{\mathbb{C}}}}\) \item 2-manifolds \(\leadsto\) categories enriched over \({ \mathsf{Vect} }_{/ {{\mathbb{C}}}}\) \end{itemize} This should yield \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item 3-manifolds without boundary \(\leadsto A_S\) objects in \(\mathsf{C}\) \item \(X = M{\textstyle\coprod}_Z N \leadsto \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}(A_M, A_N)\) \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{remark} Last time we said \(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }\) is like a 3-manifold with boundary \({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\), which is like a 2-manifold. A philosophy is to put all places on the same footing -- note that we haven't included the places at \(p\) and \(\infty\) here, so really we should have \({{\partial}}\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] } = \operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{R}}, \operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\), and \({{\partial}}\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}= \operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{R}}\). So our new picture should be: (todo finish) \end{remark} \hypertarget{automorphic-forms-as-mathsftqft_4}{% \subsection{\texorpdfstring{Automorphic Forms as \({\mathsf{TQFT}}_4\)}{Automorphic Forms as \{\textbackslash mathsf\{TQFT\}\}\_4}}\label{automorphic-forms-as-mathsftqft_4}} \begin{remark} What should the automorphic form correspondence be in this analogy? Our 3-dimensional objects: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \({\mathbb{Z}}\leadsto {\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}\) functions on \(\dcosetl{G_{\mathbb{Z}}}{G_{\mathbb{R}}}\), \item \({\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }\leadsto {\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }}\) functions on \(\dcosetl{?}{G_{\mathbb{R}}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\times^{2} } }}\), \item \(X_{/ {{\mathbb{F}}_p}}\) a smooth projective curve \(\leadsto\) functions on \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G(X)\), \item \({ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }\leadsto\) something more difficult. \end{itemize} The 2-dimensional objects: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\leadsto {\mathsf{Rep}}G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })\), \item \({\mathbb{R}}\leadsto {\mathsf{Rep}}G({\mathbb{R}})\), \item \(X_{/ {\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{\mathbb{F}}\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu_p}}\) a smooth projective curve \(\leadsto {\mathsf{Sh}}({\mathsf{Bun}}_G(X))\). \end{itemize} Really for a TQFT, we should assign something to objects in the category of its boundary -- here e.g.~the vector space \({\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}}\) is an object in \({\mathsf{Rep}}G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })\). Idea: functions on \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G\) are hard to deal with, e.g.~Hecke operators turn into infinite sums. Make things robust to passing to algebraic closures by passing from functions to sheaves! \end{remark} \begin{remark} Last time: thinking of \(\operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}\) as a 3-manifold, \begin{align*} \operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}= \operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }{ \displaystyle\coprod_{\operatorname{Spec}{ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }} } \operatorname{Spec}{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] } \approx M^3{ \displaystyle\coprod_{Z^2} }N^3 .\end{align*} We want the following: \begin{align*} \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}_{G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })}({\mathcal{A}}_{{ {\mathbb{Z}}_p }}, {\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }}) =_? {\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}} .\end{align*} We regard \({\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}\) as elements of \({\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }}\) which are also unramified at \(p\), and by Frobenius reciprocity this should yield \begin{align*} {\mathcal{A}}_{\mathbb{Z}}= \mathop{\mathrm{Hom}}_{G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })} \qty{\left\{{ \text{Functions on } \dcosetr{ G({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p })}{G({ {\mathbb{Z}}_p })} , {\mathcal{A}}_{{\mathbb{Z}}{ \left[ { \scriptstyle \frac{1}{p} } \right] }} }\right\}} ,\end{align*} which should encode a Hecke algebra at \(p\). \end{remark} \begin{question} What is the Langlands correspondence in this language? What should an ``arithmetic TQFT'' be? \end{question} \begin{remark} Let \(O\) be a category of arithmetic ring and \(A_O\) be a category or vector space, and call an associated \(O\to A_O\) an \emph{arithmetic field theory}. Let \(X_{/ {{\mathbb{F}}_p}}\) be a smooth projective curve and \(G=\operatorname{GL}_n\). The Langlands correspondence here (due to Drinfeld and Lafforgue) yields \begin{align*} \left\{{\substack{ \text{Cuspidal functions on $n{\hbox{-}}$dimensional} \\ \text{vector bundles on } X }}\right\} &\rightleftharpoons \left\{{\substack{ \text{Functions on $n{\hbox{-}}$dimensional} \\ \text{irreducible Galois reps} }}\right\}\\ T_x\curvearrowright x &\rightleftharpoons\operatorname{Frob}_x \curvearrowright? \end{align*} We regard the LHS \(A\) as ``automorphic forms''. This suggests the following viewpoint on the Langlands correspondence: we are only seeing one level, and there is a \emph{second} arithmetic field theory \(B^{(G {}^{ \vee })}\) built out of Galois representations of the Langlands dual \(G {}^{ \vee }\), so \({\mathbb{Z}}\) yields a vector space and \({ {\mathbb{Q}}_p }\) yields a category, and an equivalence of arithmetic field theories \(A^{(G)} \rightleftharpoons B^{(G {}^{ \vee })}\). Often \(B\) is a category of coherent sheaves. This should package local, global, and geometric Langlands into a single theory! \end{remark} \begin{remark} The abstract correspondence between automorphic forms and Galois reps isn't so useful; the real utility comes from matching structures and numerical invariants on both sides, e.g.~Fourier coefficients, Rankin-Selberg or doubling integrals, the \(\Theta\) correspondence, etc which all match with something on the Galois side (usually an \(L{\hbox{-}}\)function). This yields a panoply of matching invariants! E.g. for \(E/{\mathbb{Q}}\) an elliptic curve, \begin{align*} L(\operatorname{Sym}^2 E, 1) = \prod_p {p^2 \over (1-1/p) {\sharp}E({\mathbb{F}}_{p^2})} \in \pi\cdot \mathrm{Area}(E_{\mathbb{C}}) {\mathbb{Q}} ,\end{align*} where the area is of the fundamental parallelogram of \(E\), which is hard to prove without automorphic forms. How can we interpret this in terms of TQFTs? \end{remark} \begin{remark} Consider numerical invariants of automorphic forms and Galois reps landing in \({\mathbb{C}}\). Let \({\mathcal{O}}\) be a 3-dimensional ring of integers over \(X\). The numerical invariants of Galois reps should be elements of \(B_{\mathcal{O}}^{(G {}^{ \vee })}\), and numerical invariants of automorphic forms should come from \(A_{\mathcal{O}}^{(G)}\) where given \(P\), one takes \(\phi\mapsto {\left\langle {P},~{\phi} \right\rangle}\). To find matching invariants, we want to match elements in \(A_{\mathcal{O}}\) to elements in \(B_{\mathcal{O}}\). More ambitiously, we can ask for matching \emph{boundary conditions} in \(A^{(G)}\) and \(B^{(G {}^{ \vee })}\). \end{remark} \begin{definition}[Boundary conditions, informal definition] A \textbf{boundary condition} in \({\mathsf{TQFT}}_4\) is a coherent assignment: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item 3-manifolds \(M \leadsto v\in A_M\) a distinguished vector \item 2-manifolds \(S \leadsto X_S\) a distinguished object in \(A_S\) \end{itemize} \begin{quote} See Kasputin's 2010 ICM address for a nice overview. \end{quote} \end{definition} \begin{remark} Joint work with David Ben-Zvi, Sakellaridis, an informal summary: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item A variety \(G{\hbox{-}}\)variety gives a boundary condition for both \(A^{(G)}\) and \(B^{(G {}^{ \vee })}\), \item For suitable choice of \(Y\), this recovers familiar invariants of automorphic forms mentioned above, \item On the Galois side this recovers \(L{\hbox{-}}\)functions, \item There is a proposed specific class of dual pairs \((G, Y) \rightleftharpoons(G {}^{ \vee }, Y {}^{ \vee })\) which give matching/dual invariants. E.g. each periodic integral should have a dual. \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{question} For the next generation of number theorists: why are there such similarities between TQFTs and automorphic forms? This is something deep that we barely understand at all. \end{question} \begin{remark} Extending to 1-dimensional objects: these should be 2-categories which are categorical reps of a loop group. \end{remark} \hypertarget{ellen-eischen-automorphic-forms-on-unitary-groups-talk-1}{% \section{Ellen Eischen, Automorphic Forms on Unitary Groups, Talk 1}\label{ellen-eischen-automorphic-forms-on-unitary-groups-talk-1}} \begin{remark} Overall plan: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Introduce automorphic forms on unitary groups, \item Techniques to study \emph{algebraic} aspects of \(L{\hbox{-}}\)functions, \item Using unitary groups as a convenient setting -- a large enough class of groups to be interesting, but confined enough to be tractable. \end{itemize} Today: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Motivations from modular forms, \item Fundamental definitions. \end{itemize} If the previous talk was a ``fairy tale'', this will flesh out the ``based on a true story'' part! \end{remark} \hypertarget{motivation-from-modular-forms}{% \subsection{Motivation from modular forms}\label{motivation-from-modular-forms}} \begin{example}[?] Consider \(\zeta(2k)\) for \(k\in {\mathbb{Z}}_{\geq 0}\); known to Euler as \begin{align*} \zeta(2k) = (-1)^k \pi^{2k} {2^{2k-1} \over (2k-1)!} \qty{-{ {B_{2k}} \over 2k} } = (-1)^k \pi^{2k} {2^{2k-1} \over (2k-1)!} \zeta(1-2k) ,\end{align*} where \(B_{2k}\) is the \(2k\)th \textbf{Bernoulli number}, whose exponential generating function is \begin{align*} {ze^z\over e^z-1} = \sum_{k\geq 0} B_k {z^k\over k!} \in {\mathbb{Q}}{\left[\left[ z \right]\right] } .\end{align*} Proving rationality of \(\zeta(2k)\) (up to powers \(\pi^n\)) involves the normalized Eisenstein series \begin{align*} G_{2k}(q) = \zeta(1-2k) + 2\sum_{k\geq 1} \sigma_{2k-1}(n) q^n, \quad q\coloneqq e^{2\pi i z}, \quad \sigma_k(n) \coloneqq\sum_{d\divides n} d^k ,\end{align*} and one can use similar techniques to prove rationality for \begin{itemize} \item Dedekind zeta functions for \(K\in \mathsf{Field}_{/ {{\mathbb{Q}}}}\) totally real: \begin{align*} \zeta_K(s) = \sum_{{\mathfrak{a}}{~\trianglelefteq~}{\mathcal{O}}_K} {1\over N({\mathfrak{a}})^s}, \qquad N(I) \coloneqq\operatorname{Nm}_{K/{\mathbb{Q}}}(I) ,\end{align*} where rationality was proved by realizing it as the constant term of a Fourier expansion of an Eisenstein series and studying spaces of modular forms. \item \(L{\hbox{-}}\)functions \(L(\chi, s)\) for \(\chi\) a \textbf{Hecke character} of a totally real field, and their \(p{\hbox{-}}\)adic analogs. \end{itemize} All of these correspond to \textbf{Artin \(L{\hbox{-}}\)functions} \(L(s, \rho)\) for \(\rho\) a Galois representation. Dimensions \(n=1\) and (partially) \(n=2\) are handled class field theory. Can we generally show special values are algebraic? And if so, what do these values mean? \end{example} \begin{remark} More generally, one can ask about algebraicity or rationality of special values of \(L{\hbox{-}}\)functions attached to modular forms. Our first tool for constructing such things will be \textbf{Rankin-Selberg convolution}. Why care about special values: Kummer used congruences for \(\zeta\), checking if \(p\divides { \operatorname{cl}} (K)\) is equivalent to checking if \(p\) divides numerators of Bernoulli numbers, which can be used to prove special cases of Fermat.

Write \(\Omega_{\xi/{\mathcal{M}}}^1\) for the relative differentials, and define \begin{align*} \omega \coloneqq\pi_* \Omega^1_{\xi/{\mathcal{M}}} .\end{align*} A \textbf{modular form} is section of a tensor power of \(\omega\), i.e.~an element of \(H^0({\mathcal{M}}; \omega{ {}^{ \scriptstyle\otimes_{}^{k} } })\). \end{definition} \begin{remark} We can regard a modular form as a rule \((E, \omega) \mapsto F(E, \omega)\in {\mathbb{C}}\) that transforms like \begin{align*} F(E, \lambda \omega) = \lambda^{-k} F(E, \omega) \qquad\forall \lambda\in {\mathbb{C}}^{\times} .\end{align*} Equivalently, a rule \(\tilde F\) that maps \(E\) to some \(\omega\in \Omega_{E/{\mathbb{C}}}\), e.g.~ \begin{align*} \tilde F(E) = F(E, \omega)\omega{ {}^{ \scriptstyle\otimes_{}^{k} } } .\end{align*} Connecting this with last time: \begin{align*} (E, \omega) \rightleftharpoons\Lambda_{(E, \omega)} \rightleftharpoons{\mathbb{Z}}+ \tau {\mathbb{Z}}\\ F(E, \omega) \longrightarrow\cdots \longrightarrow f_F(\tau) ,\end{align*} i.e.~such a rule can be regarded as a function on lattices. \end{remark} \begin{remark} Similarly, automorphic forms arise as global sections of a vector bundle over a unitary Shimura variety \({\mathcal{M}}\) parameterizing abelian varieties with \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item A polarization, \item An endomorphism, and \item A level structure. \end{itemize} One can similarly identify \begin{align*} {\mathcal{M}}({\mathbb{C}}) \cong \dcoset{G({\mathbb{Q}})}{G({\mathbb{A}})}{{\mathcal{K}}\cdot {\mathcal{K}}_\infty} ,\end{align*} which will be a finite disjoint unions of copies of symmetric spaces (e.g.~\({\mathfrak{h}}_n\)) for \({\operatorname{U}}_{a, b}\). \end{remark} \begin{remark} Write \(\underline{A}\) for an abelian variety with some extra structure, one can then also view an automorphic form as a function \begin{align*} F(\underline{A}, \ell) = \rho(tg)^{-1}F(\underline{A},\ell) \qquad \forall G\in \operatorname{GL}_a \times \operatorname{GL}_b ,\end{align*} where \(\ell = (\ell_+, \ell_-)\) is an ordered basis for \(\Omega_{A/{\mathbb{C}}}\) that decomposes according to the signature. Let \({\mathcal{A}}\xrightarrow{\pi} {\mathcal{M}}\) be the universal family and define the sheaf \(\omega \coloneqq\pi_* \Omega_{{\mathcal{A}}/{\mathcal{M}}}\); one can then build a sheaf of automorphic forms \(\omega^p\) in much the same way.

Any \(z\in {\mathfrak{h}}= {\mathfrak{h}}_1\) corresponds to some \({\mathbb{C}}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\times^{2} } }/\left\langle{(z\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mua\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu + \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mub\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu, za + b)}\right\rangle\) where \(a,b\) are in some \({\mathcal{O}}_K\) lattice. Note the similarity to \({\mathbb{C}}/\left\langle{{\mathbb{Z}}+ \tau {\mathbb{Z}}}\right\rangle\) for elliptic curves. \end{remark} \begin{remark} An upshot is that there are three special things in this case: \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Integral is a finite sum, \item There are only characters, \item We're evaluating at special points! \end{itemize} \end{remark} \begin{remark} Let \(Z(s, \chi) \coloneqq Z(s, \chi, \phi,\tilde\phi)\). We can choose \(f_{S,\chi}\) such that \begin{align*} Z(s,\chi) = c L(s, \chi) \end{align*} for \(c\) a scalar, i.e.~they differ by a multiple. This expresses \(L(s, \chi)\) as a finite sum of values of \(E(s,\chi) \cdot \chi({-})\) for \(E\) an automorphic form on \({\operatorname{U}}_{1, 1}\), so a special kind of modular form. There is a variant of \emph{Damerell's formula}, which expresses \(L(s, \chi)\) as such a finite sum where \(E\) is an Eisenstein series in a space of Hilbert modular forms. \end{remark} \hypertarget{rationality-properties-for-eisenstein-series}{% \subsection{Rationality Properties for Eisenstein Series}\label{rationality-properties-for-eisenstein-series}} \begin{remark} We can obtain an Eisenstein series on \({\mathfrak{h}}= {\mathfrak{h}}_1\) of the form \begin{align*} \sum_{(c,d)\in \Lambda} {\chi(d) \over (cz+d)^k (cz+d)^s} \end{align*} where \(\Lambda\) is an appropriate \({\mathcal{O}}_K\) lattice, and for certain characters will converge for \(\Re(s) + k > 2 = 2n\). This will have rational Fourier coefficients, and is holomorphic for \(s=0\). As in the case of modular forms, there is a \(q{\hbox{-}}\)expansion (or more generally in other signatures, a Fourier-Jacobi expansion) principle: \begin{slogan} Automorphic forms on \({\operatorname{U}}_{n,n}\) are determined by their \(q{\hbox{-}}\)expansions. \end{slogan} In particular, if the coefficients of the \(q{\hbox{-}}\)expansion are contained in \(R\), then \(f\) is in fact defined over \(R\). Kai-Wen Lan proved a more general version of this principle for \({\operatorname{U}}_{a,b}\) with any signature, and showed that algebraic \(q{\hbox{-}}\)expansions and analytic (i.e.~Fourier) expansions agree. So things look good for \(s=0\)! \end{remark} \begin{question} What about \(s\neq 0\), i.e.~when the Eisenstein series is not holomorphic? \end{question} \begin{answer} We use Mass-Shimura differential operators \(\delta^{(r)}_K\) to relate \(E\) at \(s\neq 0\) to \(E\) at \(s=0\), where here \(\delta\) raises weights by \(2r\). For \(F\) a modular form defined over \({ \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu \mathbb{Q} \mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu }\), Shimura proved the following: \begin{align*} { (\delta_k^{(r)} F)(A) \over \Omega^{k+2r} } \in { \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu \mathbb{Q} \mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu } \end{align*} for each CM point \(A\). These operators have incarnations in \({\operatorname{U}}_{n, m}\) and there are analogous algebraicity results. In fact, \begin{align*} E(z, -r, \chi) = c (-4\pi y)^r \delta_k^{(r)} E(z, 0,\chi) .\end{align*} where \(c\) is a nice rational factor. Combining these results yields \begin{align*} {L(r, \chi) \over \Omega^{k+2r}}\in {\mathbb{Q}} .\end{align*} \end{answer} \begin{remark} A word about this operator: \begin{align*} \delta_k f = {1\over 2\pi i} \qty{{k\over 2iy} + {\frac{\partial }{\partial z}\,} } f = {1\over 2\pi i}y^{-k} {\frac{\partial }{\partial z}\,} (y^k f), \qquad \delta_k^{(r)} = \delta_k \circ \delta_k \circ \cdots \circ \delta_k .\end{align*} Katz's idea: reexpress this operator geometrically over a moduli space of elliptic curves, or more generally AVs, in terms of the \textbf{Gauss-Manin connection} and the \textbf{Kodaira morphism}, and a splitting \begin{align*} H^1_{\mathrm{dR}} = \omega \oplus H^{0, 1} \end{align*} which preserves algebraicity at CM points. \end{remark} \hypertarget{wee-teck-gan-automorphic-forms-and-the-theta-correspondence-talk-1}{% \section{Wee Teck Gan: Automorphic forms and the theta correspondence (Talk 1)}\label{wee-teck-gan-automorphic-forms-and-the-theta-correspondence-talk-1}} \begin{remark} Goal: reformulating the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture in terms of representation theory. \end{remark} \hypertarget{the-ramanujan-petersson-conjecture}{% \subsection{The Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture}\label{the-ramanujan-petersson-conjecture}} \begin{remark} Let \(f: {\mathfrak{h}}\to {\mathbb{C}}\) be a holomorphic cusp form of weight \(k\) and level 1. Suppose \(f\) is an eigenvector for the Hecke operator \(T_p\), then \(f\) has a Fourier expansion \begin{align*} f(z) = \sum_{k\geq 1} a_k(f) q^n, \qquad q\coloneqq e^{2\pi i z} ,\end{align*} which can be normalized so that \(a_1(f) = 1\). The remaining coefficients are then the Hecke eigenvalues, so \begin{align*} T_p f = a_p(f) f .\end{align*} \end{remark} \begin{conjecture}[Ramanujan-Petersson] \begin{align*} {\left\lvert {a_p(f) } \right\rvert} \leq 2p^{k-1\over 2} .\end{align*} This was proved by Deligne as a consequence of the Weil conjectures. There is an analog for \textbf{Maass forms}, which involves the \textbf{hyperbolic Laplacian}, which similarly bounds Fourier coefficients. \end{conjecture} \begin{remark} Error terms come from the cusp forms here. There is a bridge that takes holomorphic modular forms and Maass forms to the world of automorphic forms. \end{remark} \begin{remark} Setup: let \(k\in \mathsf{Field}_{/ {{\mathbb{Q}}}} , v \in {\operatorname{Places}}(K)\) so that \(k_v\in\mathsf{Loc}\mathsf{Field}\). Define the adeles as \({\mathbb{A}}\coloneqq\prod^{\operatorname{res}}k_v\) which admits a diagonal embedding \(k\hookrightarrow{\mathbb{A}}\) with \(\dcosetl{k}{{\mathbb{A}}}\) compact. Let \(G\in{\mathsf{Alg}}{\mathsf{Grp}}_{/ {k}}\) be reductive, e.g.~\({\operatorname{SL}}_n, {\operatorname{U}}_n\), we then similarly have \begin{align*} G(k) \hookrightarrow G({\mathbb{A}}) = \prod^{\operatorname{res}}_v G(k_v) \end{align*} with \(\left\{{k_v}\right\}\) an open compact subgroup. Write \([G] = \dcosetl{G(k)}{G({\mathbb{A}})}\), and note the there is a right action \([G] \curvearrowleft G({\mathbb{A}})\). \end{remark} \hypertarget{automorphic-reps}{% \subsection{Automorphic Reps}\label{automorphic-reps}} \begin{definition}[Automorphic forms on reductive groups] An \textbf{automorphic form} on \(G\) is a function \(f: [G]\to {\mathbb{C}}\) satisfying \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item Regularity conditions: e.g.~at worst polynomial growth \(f\sim z^k\), smoothness, and derivatives \(f^{(n)}\sim z^k\) for the same exponent. \item Finiteness conditions: \(K{\hbox{-}}\)finiteness for \(K = \prod_v k_v\), or more generally \(Z({\mathfrak{g}}){\hbox{-}}\)finiteness. \end{itemize} Write \({\mathcal{A}}(G)\) for the vector space of automorphic forms on \(G\). Note that this carries at left \(G({\mathbb{A}})\) action: \begin{align*} (g_0 . f)(g) = f(g g_0) .\end{align*} \end{definition} \begin{remark} The finiteness condition will guarantee that \(f\) will come from the kernel of a differential operator, e.g.~the CR equations for holomorphy.

I.e. which representations occur as cuspidal or \(L^2\) reps? Moreover, what do all of the irreducible reps of \(G({\mathbb{A}})\) look like? \end{question} \begin{remark} Recall that since \(G({\mathbb{A}}) = \prod^{\operatorname{res}}_v G(k_v)\), we expect a representation \(\pi\) of \(G({\mathbb{A}})\) to break up as \(\pi = \bigotimes^{\operatorname{res}}_v \pi _v\) with \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(\pi_v\in {\mathsf{Irr}}(G(k_v))\), \item \(\pi_v^{k_v} \neq 0\) for almost all \(v\), so \(k_v\) is \textbf{unramified} or \textbf{spherical}. \end{itemize} \end{remark} \hypertarget{unramified-reps}{% \subsection{Unramified Reps}\label{unramified-reps}} \begin{remark} There is a containment \(G_v \supseteq K_v\) where \(G_v\) is unramified, i.e.~quasi-split (so has a Borel) and split by an unramified extension of \(k_v\), and \(K_v\) is a \textbf{hyper-special} subgroup, which is a maximal compact. This yields \(G_v \supseteq B_v\supseteq T_v N_v\), and there is a bijection \begin{align*} {\mathsf{Irr}}{\mathsf{Rep}}(G_v)(K_v{\hbox{-}}\text{unramified}) &\rightleftharpoons \left\{{\text{Unramified characters of }T_v}\right\}/W \\ I(\chi) = \operatorname{Ind}_{B_v}^{G_v} \chi &\mapsfrom \chi ,\end{align*} where we mod out by a Weyl group action \(W\).

Now construct a bundle by gluing with the trivial bundle on \(X\) away from \(x_0\), so glue \(\Lambda_{x_0}\) with \({\mathcal{O}}_{X\setminus x_0}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } }\) in the following way: let \(j: X\setminus\left\{{x_0}\right\} \to X\) and form \(j_* {\mathcal{O}}_{X\setminus x_0}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } }\), which is no longer coherent and it quasicoherent, so looks like meromorphic functions but with no control on the poles. For \(U \subseteq X\) an affine open, take the functions regular away from \(x_0\) and constrain its behavior at \(x_0\) and take the sheaf associated to the following: \begin{align*} U\mapsto {{\Gamma}\qty{U\setminus\left\{{ x_0 }\right\}; {\mathcal{O}}_X{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } } } }\cap\Lambda_{x_0} \subseteq F_{x_0}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } } .\end{align*} \includegraphics{figures/2022-03-05_16-11-56.png} \end{remark} \begin{example}[?] For \(t_{x_0}\) a uniformizer, set \(g_{x_0} = \operatorname{diag}(t_{x_0}, 1, 1, \cdots, 1)\).

Conversely, starting a vector bundle, you can get a double coset in \(\dcoset{\operatorname{GL}_n(F)}{\operatorname{GL}_n({\mathbb{A}})}{K^\natural}\): for \(V\in \mathsf{VectBun}(X)\), there exists a \(U \subseteq X\) with \({ \left.{{V}} \right|_{{U}} } \cong {\mathcal{O}}_U{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } }\). Take \(\Lambda_x = { \left.{{V}} \right|_{{\operatorname{Spec}{\mathcal{O}}_x}} } = g_x {\mathcal{O}}_x{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } }\). \end{example} \begin{exercise}[?] Check that this gives an equivalence of groupoids. \end{exercise} \begin{remark} This equivalence holds for more general split \(G\). For \(G= {\mathsf{Sp}}_{2n}\), a \(G{\hbox{-}}\)bundle is the same as a pair \((V, \omega)\) where \(V\) is a vector space of rank \(2n\) and \(\omega V\otimes_{{\mathcal{O}}_x} V\to {\mathcal{O}}_x\) is symplectic. \end{remark} \begin{remark} So far, this is a pointwise story, so we'll geometrize. It's a fact that \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G\) is a moduli stack, and its \(k{\hbox{-}}\)points and \(R_{/ {k}}\) points are \begin{align*} {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k) &= \left\{{G{\hbox{-}}\text{bundles on } X}\right\} \\ {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(R) &= \left\{{G{\hbox{-}}\text{bundles on } X\otimes_k R}\right\} .\end{align*} It's a theorem that these moduli functors are representable by Artin stacks. \end{remark} \begin{example}[?] Take \(X = {\mathbb{P}}^1\), then \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k){_{\scriptstyle / \sim} }\) can be described in terms of group-theoretic data. \(G{\hbox{-}}\)bundles for \(G= \operatorname{GL}_n\) are classified by Grothendieck: \begin{align*} \mathsf{vectBun}({\mathbb{P}}^1) &\rightleftharpoons\left\{{d_1 \geq d_2 \geq \cdots \geq d_n {~\mathrel{\Big\vert}~}d_i\in {\mathbb{Z}}}\right\} \\ \bigoplus_i {\mathcal{O}}(d_i) &\mapsfrom \left\{{d_i}\right\} .\end{align*} In general, fixing \(T\leq G\) a torus and \(W\) the Weyl group yields \begin{align*} {\mathsf{Bun}}_{G/{\mathbb{P}}^1}(k){_{\scriptstyle / \sim} }\rightleftharpoons X_*(T)/W ,\end{align*} i.e.~bundles are parameterized by the cocharacter lattice, modulo the Weyl group action. \end{example} \begin{question} We can regard \({\mathcal{A}}_{K^\natural}\) as functions on \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k)\), so what is the \({\mathcal{H}}_K\) action? \end{question} \begin{example}[?] Let \(G=\operatorname{GL}_n\), let \(t_x\) be a uniformizer at \(x\) and take \begin{align*} _x \coloneqq\chi_{S}, S = K_x \operatorname{diag}(t_x,1,1\cdots,1) K_x .\end{align*} For \(f: {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k)\to {\mathbb{C}}\), we get the \textbf{elementary upper modifier of \(f\)}: \begin{align*} f\ast h_x: {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k) &\to {\mathbb{C}}\\ V &\mapsto \sum_{0\to V \hookrightarrow V' \twoheadrightarrow k_x\to 0} f(V') .\end{align*} where \(k_x\) is the skyscraper sheaf at \(x\). This is analogous to summing over elliptic curves that are \(p{\hbox{-}}\)isogenous to a given curve. One could alternatively define a Hecke operator defined by \begin{align*} h_x = \chi_S, S\coloneqq K_-x \operatorname{diag}(t_x^{\lambda_1}, t_x^{\lambda_2}, \cdots, t_x^{\lambda_n}) ,\end{align*} where \(\mathbf{\lambda}\) is a collection of integers, and \begin{align*} (f\ast h_x)(V) = \sum_{\substack{ V\to V' \\ \lambda, x} } .\end{align*} \end{example} \hypertarget{level-structures}{% \subsection{Level Structures}\label{level-structures}} \begin{remark} For interesting automorphic forms, we need to use more general things than \(K^\natural\) -- many interesting examples come from \textbf{parahoric} subgroups of \(G(F_x)\).

For \(G=\operatorname{PGL}_2\) (where the example works similarly), for \(\chi_0, \chi_1 = 1\) and \(\chi_\infty\) quadratic, there is a cover \begin{center} \begin{tikzcd} \left\{{E_t}\right\}: y^2 = x(x-1)(x-t) \ar[d] \\ {\mathbb{P}}^1\setminus\left\{{ 0,1,\infty }\right\} \end{tikzcd} \end{center} Moreover \(\left\{{H^1(E_t)}\right\}\) will be a rank 2 local system on this base. \end{example} \begin{example}[?] Let \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(X = {\mathbb{P}}^1\) \item \(S = \left\{{0, \infty}\right\}\) \item \(K_0 = I_0\), \(\chi_0 =1\) \item \(\tau\) a uniformizer at \(\infty\) \item \(K_\infty = I_\infty^+ = \left\{{{ \begin{bmatrix} {a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d} \end{bmatrix} } {~\mathrel{\Big\vert}~}a\equiv d\equiv 1 \operatorname{mod}{\mathfrak{m}}_x, b\in {\mathcal{O}}_x, c\in {\mathfrak{m}}_x}\right\}\), the pro \(p\) part \end{itemize} There is a map \(K_\infty \to k\) where \({ \begin{bmatrix} {a} & {b} \\ {c} & {d} \end{bmatrix} } \to b+{c\over \tau}\operatorname{mod}\tau\).

So these are bundles with extra structure at fixed places, and are parameterized by 5-tuples \({\mathcal{E}}= (V, \iota, \ell_0, \ell_1, \ell_\infty)\).

This stack should have (possibly negative) dimension at most zero, what does this tell us about the level groups? For a curve \(C\), there is a formula: \begin{align*} \dim {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(K_S) = 0 \iff \sum_{x\in S} [G({\mathcal{O}}_x): K_x] = (1-g(C))\dim G ,\end{align*} where the brackets indicate \textbf{relative dimension}, which is always non-negative. Recall that \(I_x\) is a preimage of a Borel under reduction, and for \(K_x = I_x\) we have \begin{align*} [G({\mathcal{O}}_x): I_x] = \dim G({\mathcal{O}}_x)/I_x = \dim G/B = {\sharp}\Phi^+ .\end{align*} If \(K_x\) is not contained in \(G({\mathcal{O}}_x)\), then \begin{align*} [G({\mathcal{O}}_x): K_x] = \dim G({\mathcal{O}}_x)/G({\mathcal{O}}_x) \cap K_x - \dim K_x/G({\mathcal{O}}_x) \cap K_x .\end{align*} The RHS in the formula is non-negative only when \(g=0, 1\), so we expect most rigid data to come from \({\mathbb{P}}^1\). Genus 1 is a very special case, we get \(K_x\sim G({\mathcal{O}}_x)\). \end{remark} \begin{example}[?] Consider \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(G\) a fixed group, \item \(X = {\mathbb{P}}^1\), \item \(S = \left\{{0,1,\infty}\right\}\), \item \(K_x\) a parahoric. \end{itemize} Then \begin{align*} \dim G = \sum_{x=0,1,\infty} [G({\mathcal{O}}_x): K_x] .\end{align*} If \(K_x\) corresponds to a subdiagram of a Dynkin diagram, we can read off the reductive quotient \(L_x\) to get a surjective quotient map \(K_x\twoheadrightarrow L_x\). In this case, \begin{align*} [G({\mathcal{O}}_x): K_x] = {1\over 2}\qty{\dim G - \dim L_x} .\end{align*} The condition then becomes \begin{align*} \dim G = \sum_{x=0,1,\infty}\dim L_x .\end{align*} \end{example} \begin{example}[?] Consider the same setup for \(G={\mathsf{G}}_2\). \includegraphics{figures/2022-03-07_11-48-25.png} For \(G = {\mathbf{E}}_8\), take \(L_1\) to be the Iwahori and: \includegraphics{figures/2022-03-07_11-53-37.png} Idea: delete a node to try to get a group of roughly half-dimension.

Define a map \begin{align*} P_\infty^+ = \left\{{{ \begin{bmatrix} {A} & {B} \\ {C} & {D} \end{bmatrix} } \in G({\mathcal{O}}_\infty) {~\mathrel{\Big\vert}~}A-I, D-I, C\equiv 0 \operatorname{mod}\tau}\right\} &\to W = \operatorname{Sym}^2(L) \oplus \operatorname{Sym}^2(L {}^{ \vee }) \\ { \begin{bmatrix} {A} & {B} \\ {C} & {D} \end{bmatrix} } &\mapsto \qty{B\operatorname{mod}\tau, {C\over \tau} \operatorname{mod}\tau} .\end{align*} We then have \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muA\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\in \operatorname{GL}(L)\) \item \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muD\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\in \operatorname{GL}(L {}^{ \vee })\) \item \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muB\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu: L {}^{ \vee }\to L\) self-dual, so \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muB\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu {}^{ \vee }= \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muB\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\), \item \(C/\tau: L\to L {}^{ \vee }\) a self-adjoint operator \end{itemize} We can further apply the trace pairing, fixing \(S\in \operatorname{Sym}^2(L)\) and \(T\in \operatorname{Sym}^2(L {}^{ \vee })\): \begin{align*} \operatorname{Trace}: W\to k \\ (X, Y) &\mapsto \operatorname{Trace}(XT) + \operatorname{Trace}(YS) .\end{align*} Choosing a pair \((S, T)\) yields a character: \begin{align*} P_\infty^+ \to W \xrightarrow{(S, T)} k \xrightarrow{\psi} {\mathbb{C}}^{\times} .\end{align*} \textbf{Stable pairs} \((S, T)\) will yield rigid data, where stable is the open condition that \(ST\in \mathop{\mathrm{End}}(L)\) has distinct nonzero eigenvalues in \(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5muk\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\), so regular semisimple and invertible. \end{example} \begin{remark} Epipelagic reps of \(G(F_\infty)\) due to Reeder-J-K. Yu: for \({\mathsf{Sp}}_{2n}\) this amounts to choosing a matrix of the following shape with equally sized blocks: \includegraphics{figures/2022-03-07_12-25-29.png} \end{remark} \hypertarget{zhiwei-yun-lecture-4}{% \section{Zhiwei Yun, Lecture 4}\label{zhiwei-yun-lecture-4}} \hypertarget{kloosterman-automorphic-systems}{% \subsection{Kloosterman Automorphic Systems}\label{kloosterman-automorphic-systems}} \begin{remark} We've just been on the automorphic side: today we harvest on the Galois side! For \((K_S, \chi_S)\) automorphic data, there is a Hecke action \begin{align*} f\in {\mathcal{A}}_c(K_S,\chi_S) \curvearrowleft{\mathcal{H}}_{K_x},\quad x\in {\left\lvert {X} \right\rvert} \setminus S .\end{align*} The Satake isomorphism yields a correspondence \begin{align*} \left\{{\text{Functions } {\mathcal{H}}_{K_x} \to \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu}\right\} \rightleftharpoons \left\{{\text{Semisimple conjugacy classes in } \widehat{G}(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu)}\right\} .\end{align*} So for all places \(x\not\in S\), one gets a Satake parameter \(\sigma_x\in \widehat{G}_{{\mathrm{ss}}}(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu)\). By Langlands, there exists a representation \(\rho: \pi_1(X\setminus S) \to \widehat{G}(\mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu)\) such that \(\rho(\operatorname{Frob}_x)^{{\mathrm{ss}}} \sim \sigma_x\). How do you construct \(\rho\) from \(f\)? \end{remark} \begin{remark} We'll geometrize this along the lines of Drinfeld, Laumon, etc. Set \(G=\operatorname{GL}_n\) and let \(T_x\in {\mathcal{H}}_{K_x}\) be the characteristic function on \(K_x \operatorname{diag}(t_x, 1,\cdots, 1) K_x\). For \(f: {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(k)\to \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\), define an operator \begin{align*} (T_x f)({\mathcal{E}}) \coloneqq\sum_{{\mathcal{E}}' \hookrightarrow{\mathcal{E}}\text{ length 1 at } x} f({\mathcal{E}}') .\end{align*} Note that the index set is isomorphic to \({\mathbb{P}}({\mathcal{E}}_x)\). This translates functions to sheaves: summing corresponds to taking cohomology, characters become character sheaves. Let \({\mathsf{Hk} }^1 = \left\{{{\mathcal{E}}' \to {\mathcal{E}}\text{ of length 1}}\right\}\), then there is a span: \begin{center} \begin{tikzcd} && {{\mathsf{Hk} }^1} \\ \\ {{\mathsf{Bun}}_G} &&&& {{\mathsf{Bun}}_G\times (X\setminus S)} \arrow["{h_1}"', from=1-3, to=3-1] \arrow["{h_2}", from=1-3, to=3-5] \end{tikzcd} \end{center} \begin{quote} \href{https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsMyxbMCwyLCJcXEJ1bl9HIl0sWzIsMCwiXFxIa14xIl0sWzQsMiwiXFxCdW5fR1xcdGltZXMgKFhcXHNtIFMpIl0sWzEsMCwiaF8xIiwyXSxbMSwyLCJoXzIiXV0=}{Link to Diagram} \end{quote} The operator \(T_x\) geometrizes in the following way: \begin{align*} T_1 {\mathcal{F}}\coloneqq(h_2){}_{!}(h_1{}^{*}{\mathcal{F}}) \in {\mathsf{Sh}}({\mathsf{Bun}}_G\times (X\setminus S)) ,\end{align*} and being an \emph{eigensheaf} translates \(T_x f = \lambda_x f\) for \(\lambda_x\in \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu\) to the condition \begin{align*} T_1{\mathcal{F}}= {\mathcal{F}}\boxtimes E .\end{align*} The goal is to compute \(E\); this will yield \begin{align*} \operatorname{Trace}(\operatorname{Frob}_x; E) = \lambda_x \qquad\forall x\in X\setminus S .\end{align*} \end{remark} \begin{example}[Kloosterman automorphic datum] Benedict Gross constructed \(\operatorname{Kl}\) automorphic datum, showed rigidity using a trace formula, and conjectured some properties of \(\rho\) related to a Kloosterman local system. Heinloth-Ngo-Y. constructed this \(\rho\), uncovering the story of rigidity here. Let \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(G = \operatorname{PGL}_n\) \item The 0-level \(K_0 = I_0\) is the Iwahori and \(\chi_0 = 1\) \item The infinity level \(K_\infty = I_\infty^+\), and the character is given in the following way: add superdiagonal and lower-left corner mod \(\tau\) (the uniformizer at \(\infty\)), so \begin{align*} (a_{ij}) \mapsto \sum a_{i, i+1} + {a_{n, 1} \over \tau} \operatorname{mod}\tau \leadsto I_{\infty}^+ \to k \xrightarrow{\psi} \mkern 1.5mu\overline{\mkern-1.5mu{ {\mathbb{Q}}_\ell }\mkern-1.5mu}\mkern 1.5mu^{\times} .\end{align*} \end{itemize} In this case, \begin{align*} {\mathsf{Bun}}_G(K_0, K_\infty) = \left\{{ \begin{array}{l} V\in { {\mathsf{Bun}}\qty{\operatorname{GL}_r} }^{\operatorname{rank}= n}({\mathbb{P}}^1), \\ F^n \supseteq F^{n-1} \supseteq\cdots\supseteq F^1 \text{ a full flag on } V_0, \\ F_0 \subseteq F_1 \subseteq \cdots\subseteq F^n \text{a full flag on }V_\infty, \\ \left\{{e_i}\right\} \text{a basis of }{\mathsf{gr}\,}_i (F_\bullet) \end{array} }\right\}/{\operatorname{Pic}} .\end{align*} There is a unique relevant point on each component of \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G(K_0, K_\infty)\), where \(\deg V \operatorname{mod}n\) is well-defined. It's given by \({\mathcal{E}}_0\) where \({\mathcal{O}}{ {}^{ \scriptscriptstyle\oplus^{n} } } = \bigoplus_{i\leq n} {\mathcal{O}}_i\), with a flag \(\left\{{e_n}\right\}, \left\{{e_n, e_{n-1}}\right\},\cdots\). One can show that \(\mathop{\mathrm{Aut}}({\mathcal{E}}_0) = 1\) making it automatically relevant. A point \({\mathcal{E}}_1\) yields \(\bigoplus_{k\leq n-1} {\mathcal{O}}e_k \oplus {\mathcal{O}}(1)e_n\), with flags \begin{itemize} \tightlist \item \(F^\bullet: \left\{{e_{n-1}}\right\}, \left\{{e_{n-1}, e_{n-2}}\right\},\cdots\). \item \(F_\bullet: \left\{{e_1}\right\}, \left\{{e_1, e_2}\right\}, \cdots\) \end{itemize} There is a Hecke stack \({\mathsf{Hk} }\) containing \(\left\{{\phi: {\mathcal{E}}_0 \hookrightarrow{\mathcal{E}}_1}\right\}\), and a span: \begin{center} \begin{tikzcd} && {\left\{{\phi: {\mathcal{E}}_0\hookrightarrow{\mathcal{E}}_1}\right\}} \\ \\ {{\mathbb{A}}^n\cong I_\infty^+/I\infty^{++} \xrightarrow{\text{sum}}{\mathbb{A}}^1} &&&& {{\mathbb{P}}^1\setminus\left\{{ 0,\infty }\right\}, \mathop{\mathrm{supp}}\operatorname{coker}\phi} \\ {AS_\psi} &&&& E \arrow["{\operatorname{ev}_\infty}"', from=1-3, to=3-1] \arrow["\pi", from=1-3, to=3-5] \arrow[dashed, from=4-1, to=4-5] \end{tikzcd} \end{center} \begin{quote} \href{https://q.uiver.app/?q=WzAsNSxbMiwwLCJcXHRze1xccGhpOiBcXG1jZV8wXFxlbWJlZHNcXG1jZV8xfSJdLFswLDIsIlxcQUFeblxcY29uZyBJX1xcaW5mdHleKy9JXFxpbmZ0eV57Kyt9IFxcbWFwc3ZpYXtcXHRleHR7c3VtfX1cXEFBXjEiXSxbNCwyLCJcXFBQXjFcXHNtdHN7MCxcXGluZnR5fSwgXFxzdXBwIFxcY29rZXJcXHBoaSJdLFswLDMsIkFTX1xccHNpIl0sWzQsMywiRSJdLFswLDEsIlxcZXZfXFxpbmZ0eSIsMl0sWzAsMiwiXFxwaSJdLFszLDQsIiIsMix7InN0eWxlIjp7ImJvZHkiOnsibmFtZSI6ImRhc2hlZCJ9fX1dXQ==}{Link to Diagram} \end{quote} Pull-push yields a local system.

Note that this only works for multiplicative characters, since additive characters depend on characteristic. One can construct these Hecke eigensheaves and \(G {}^{ \vee }\) local systems for arbitrary fields, e.g.~for \({\mathbb{P}}^1_{/ {{\mathbb{Q}}}} \setminus S\) where there may not even be a theory of automorphic forms. A first example constructs an \({\mathbf{E}}_8{\hbox{-}}\)local system on \({\mathbb{P}}^1_{/ {{\mathbb{Q}}}} \setminus\left\{{ 0,1,\infty }\right\}\), yielding a motive whose motivic Galois group is \({\mathbf{E}}_8\). One can then apply this to the inverse Galois problem, arguing that there exists a number field \(K\) such that \begin{align*} { \mathsf{Gal}} (K/{\mathbb{Q}}) \cong {\mathbf{E}}_8({\mathbb{F}}_\ell), \qquad \ell \gg 0 .\end{align*} See the notes for relations to ``rigidity methods'' in inverse Galois theory. \end{remark} \hypertarget{open-problems}{% \subsection{Open Problems}\label{open-problems}} \begin{question} Classification: say \(G=\operatorname{GL}_n\), can one classify all rigid automorphic data? \end{question} \begin{remark} These should correspond under Langlands to rigid local systems, where there is an algorithmic classification due to Katz in the tame case and Arinkin in general. One can start with rank 1 local systems and apply one of three simple procedures to get local systems of higher rank. Note that hypergeometric local systems occur. \end{remark} \begin{question} Is there an algorithmic way of producing automorphic data? \end{question} \begin{question} Is there a uniform way to check rigidity? \end{question} \begin{remark} Checking rigidity requires knowing the specific geometry of \({\mathsf{Bun}}_G\) and some tricky linear algebra. There are some results that provide the uniform bound on dimensions \({\mathcal{A}}_c\) needed to prove weak rigidity. \end{remark} \begin{question} Can \({\mathcal{A}}_c(K_S, \chi_S)\) be further decomposed into Hecke modules when the dimension is bigger than 1? \end{question} \begin{remark} This dimension can grow exponentially. \end{remark} \hypertarget{saturday-march-05}{% \section{Saturday, March 05}\label{saturday-march-05}} Goal: proving rigidity.
