On the fundamental domain of affine Springer fibers

Abstract

For $G$ a connected reductive group, $\gamma\in \kg(F)$ semisimple regular integral, we introduce a fundamental domain $F_{\gamma}$ for the affine Springer fibers $\xx_{\gamma}$. There is a beautiful way to reduce the purity conjecture of $\xx_{\gamma}$ to that of $F_{\gamma}$, we call it the Arthur-Kottwitz reduction. When restricted to the unramified case, it turns out that these fundamental domains behave well in family. We formulate a rationality conjecture about a generating series of their Poincar\'e polynomials. We then study them in detail for the group $\gl_{3}$. In particular, we pave them in affine spaces and we prove the rationality conjecture.
