Microlocal Geometry of Langlands Parameter Spaces for p-adic Groups (18frg237)

Recent work by Arthur on the classification of automorphic representations has shed new light on the transfer of these representations between groups. Following a suggestion by Arthur, this Focused Research Group is developing a geometric characterization of this transfer for p-adic groups, based in part on ideas developed by Adams, Barbasch and Vogan in the early 1990s. This geometric version of transfer of Arthur packets is surprisingly amenable to calculation and promises to give new tools to understand the transfer coefficients that appear in Arthur's main local result in the endoscopic classification of representations.
