Caltech/USC Joint Algebra and Geometry Seminar

Whittaker averaging and singular support
Jeremy Taylor, Hedrick Assistant Adjunct Professor, Department of Mathematics, University of California - Los Angeles,

USC KAP 414

I will give a microlocal description of the kernel of Whittaker averaging. Applying this to the geometric Langlands program, I will generalize some results of Færgeman and Raskin, using the geometry of the global nilpotent cone. By an argument of Bezrukavnikov and Morton-Ferguson, this also has applications to Gaitsgory's central sheaves in the affine Hecke category.
