Derived Langlands VII: The PSH Algebra of Products of General Linear Groups

Abstract

In this article we put a very elaborate PSH-like structure on the $R_{+}(-)$ groups of products of finite general linear groups. This is not the case we want. Firstly one would really want the actual big PSH algebra of products of general linear groups with entries in a characteristic zero $p$-adic local field. There may be technical difficulties with this. However the $R_{+}(-)$ gadget for products of general linear groups with entries in a characteristic zero $p$-adic local field seems to work for us by allowing various reduction to compact open subgroups and reduction maps modulo different prime powers from there. These reductions may allow the verification of functional equations and analytic groups properties which characterise the Riemann zeta function and presumably similarly characterise the $2$-variable L-functions.
