Given a spherical variety X for a group G over a non-archimedean local field k, the Plancherel decomposition for L^2(X) should be related to "distinguished" Arthur parameters into a dual group closely related to that defined by Gaitsgory and Nadler. Motivated by this, we develop, under some assumptions on the spherical variety, a Plancherel formula for L^2(X) up to discrete (modulo center) spectra of its "boundary degenerations", certain G-varieties with more symmetries which model X at infinity. Along the way, we discuss the asymptotic theory of subrepresentations of C^{infty}(X), and establish conjectures of Ichino-Ikeda and Lapid-Mao. We finally discuss global analogues of our local conjectures, concerning the period integrals of automorphic forms over spherical subgroups.

Periods and harmonic analysis on spherical varieties

We give a group theoretic definition of “local models” as sought after in the theory of Shimura varieties. These are projective schemes over the integers of a p-adic local field that are expected to model the singularities of integral models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure. Our local models are certain mixed characteristic degenerations of Grassmannian varieties; they are obtained by extending constructions of Beilinson, Drinfeld, Gaitsgory and the second-named author to mixed characteristics and to the case of general (tamely ramified) reductive groups. We study the singularities of local models and hence also of the corresponding integral models of Shimura varieties. In particular, we study the monodromy (inertia) action and show a commutativity property for the sheaves of nearby cycles. As a result, we prove a conjecture of Kottwitz which asserts that the semi-simple trace of Frobenius on the nearby cycles gives a function which is central in the parahoric Hecke algebra.

Local models of Shimura varieties and a conjecture of Kottwitz

We give a group theoretic definition of "local models" as sought after in the theory of Shimura varieties. These are projective schemes over the integers of a $p$-adic local field that are expected to model the singularities of integral models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure. Our local models are certain mixed characteristic degenerations of Grassmannian varieties; they are obtained by extending constructions of Beilinson, Drinfeld, Gaitsgory and the second-named author to mixed characteristics and to the case of general (tamely ramified) reductive groups. We study the singularities of local models and hence also of the corresponding integral models of Shimura varieties. In particular, we study the monodromy (inertia) action and show a commutativity property for the sheaves of nearby cycles. As a result, we prove a conjecture of Kottwitz which asserts that the semi-simple trace of Frobenius on the nearby cycles gives a function which is central in the parahoric Hecke algebra.

We elaborate the theory of the stable Bernstein center of a $p$-adic group $G$, and apply it to state a general conjecture on test functions for Shimura varieties due to the author and R. Kottwitz. This conjecture provides a framework by which one might pursue the Langlands-Kottwitz method in a very general situation: not necessarily PEL Shimura varieties with arbitrary level structure at $p$. We give a concrete reinterpretation of the test function conjecture in the context of parahoric level structure. We also use the stable Bernstein center to formulate some of the transfer conjectures (the "fundamental lemmas") that would be needed if one attempts to use the test function conjecture to express the local Hasse-Weil zeta function of a Shimura variety in terms of automorphic $L$-functions.

The stable Bernstein center and test functions for Shimura varieties

Let G denote a connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field F . Let K denote a special maximal parahoric subgroup of G(F ). We establish a Satake isomorphism for the Hecke algebra HK of K-bi-invariant compactly supported functions on G(F ). The key ingredient is a Cartan decomposition describing the double coset space K\G(F )/K. As an application we define a transfer homomorphism t : HK∗ (G∗) → HK(G) where G∗ is the quasi-split inner form of G. We also describe how our results relate to the treatment of Cartier [Car], where K is replaced by a special maximal compact open subgroup K ⊂ G(F ) and where a Satake isomorphism is established for the Hecke algebra H K .

The Satake isomorphism for special maximal parahoric Hecke algebras

Let F be a non-Archimedean local field and let G be a connected reductive affine algebraic F-group. Let I be an Iwahori subgroup of G(F) and denote by H(G; I) the Iwahori-Hecke algebra, i.e. the convolution algebra of complex-valued functions on G(F) which are left- and right-invariant by I-translations. This article proves that the Iwahori-Hecke algebra H(G; I) has both an Iwahori-Matsumoto Presentation and a Bernstein Presentation analogous to those for affine Hecke algebras on root data found in Lusztig's "Affine Hecke algebras and their graded version", and gives a basis (in other words, an explicit Bernstein Isomorphism) for the center Z[H(G; I)] also analogous to that found in loc. cit.

Let K be a field and G a split connected reductive affine algebraic K-group. Let T be a split maximal torus of G, W its finite Weyl group, and R its root system. After fixing a realization of R in G and choosing a simple system for R, one gets a system of representatives for W in G(K), called the Canonical Representatives. It is well-known that these representatives rarely form a subgroup, and it is necessary for some questions to understand and quantify this failure. Various new formulas are given which constitute progress in this direction. An application of such formulas to the simple supercuspidals of Gross-Reeder and Reeder-Yu is provided.

On the Canonical Representatives of a Finite Weyl Group

Let W be an Iwahori-Weyl group of a connected reductive group G over a non-archimedean local field. I prove that if w is an element of W that does not act on the corresponding apartment of G by a translation then one can apply to w a sequence of conjugations by simple reflections, each of which is length-preserving, resulting in an element w' for which there exists a simple reflection s such that l(sw's)>l(w'). Even for affine Weyl groups, a special case of Iwahori-Weyl groups and also an important subclass of Coxeter groups, this is a new fact about conjugacy classes. Further, there are implications for Iwahori-Hecke algebras H of G: one can use this fact to give dimension bounds on the "length-filtration" of the center Z(H), which can in turn be used to prove that suitable linearly-independent subsets of Z(H) are a basis.
