Geometric Waldspurger periods

Abstract

This paper is a step towards a version of the theta-lifting (or Howe correspondence) in the framework of the geometric Langlands program. We consider the (unramified) dual reductive pair H=GO_{2m}, G=GSp_{2n} over a smooth projective curve X (our H is assumed to be split on an etale two-sheeted covering Y of X). Let Bun_G and Bun_H be the stack of G-torsors and H-torsors on X. We define and study functors F_G and F_H between the derived categories D(Bun_G) and D(Bun_H) that are analogs of the classical theta-lifting operators. One of the main results is the geometric Langlands functoriality for the dual pair (H=GO_2, G=GL_2), where GO_2 is the direct image of the multiplicative group from a nontrivial etale covering Y to X. The functor F_G from D(Bun_H) to D(Bun_G) commutes with Hecke operators with respect to the corresponding map of Langlands L-groups G^L\to H^L. As an application, we calculate Waldspurger periods of cuspidal automorphic sheaves on Bun_{GL_2} and Bessel periods of theta-lifts from Bun_{GO_4} to Bun_{GSp_4}. Based on these calculations, we give three conjectural constructions of certain automorphic sheaves on Bun_{GSp_4} (one of them makes sense for D-modules only).

Braid and Phantom

Let N be the moduli space of stable rank 2 vector bundles on a smooth projective curve of genus g>1 with fixed odd determinant. With Sebastian Torres, we previously found a semi-orthogonal decomposition of the bounded derived category of N into bounded derived categories of symmetric powers of the curve and, possibly, a phantom block. In this work, we employ the theory of weaving patterns to eliminate the possibility of a phantom, completing the proof of the decomposition conjectured by Narasimhan and, independently, by Belmans, Galkin, and Mukhopadhyay.

On the Alexander polynomials of conic-line arrangements

In the present paper we compute Alexander polynomials for certain classes of conic-line arrangements in the complex projective plane which are related to pencils. We prove two general results for curve arrangements coming from Halphen pencils of index $k\geq 2$. Then we apply them to the Hesse arrangement of conics and to some of its degenerations. The results are completed by computations using computer algebra. In particular, we construct conic-line arrangements which are non-reduced pencil-type arrangements and have as roots of their Alexander polynomials roots of unity of order 7. Such roots are not known and are conjectured not to exist in the class of line arrangements.

On the Tensor Property of Bernstein-Sato Polynomial

We prove the multiplicative Thom-Sebastiani rule for Bernstein-Sato polynomials, answering the longstanding questions of Budur and Popa. We generalize the result to the tensor of two effective divisors on the product of two arbitrary non-singular complex varieties. This also leads to a multiplicative property related to Igusa's strong monodromy conjecture. Moreover, we propose an extension of our result to Bernstein-Sato polynomials for ideals and prove it for monomial ideals.
