Central motives on parahoric flag varieties

Robert Cass, Thibaud van den Hove, Jakob Scholbach

TL;DR

The paper constructs a motivic refinement of Gaitsgory’s central functor for integral motivic sheaves, ensuring preservation of stratified Tate motives and a t-exact central functor via Wakimoto filtrations. It develops a motivic unipotent nearby cycles formalism, extends Beilinson–Drinfeld BD geometry to the motivic setting, and proves both monoidality and centrality properties that connect to the motivic Satake equivalence. A key outcome is a motivic decategorification that yields a center isomorphism between generic spherical and parahoric Hecke algebras, advancing a unified, ℓ-free approach to Langlands-type correspondences. The framework integrates higher algebra, six-functor formalism, and hyperbolic localization to establish t-exactness and full compatibility across Beilinson–Drinfeld geometry, central functors, and generic Hecke algebras, with implications for a motivic Arkhipov–Bezrukavnikov program.

Abstract

We construct a refinement of Gaitsgory's central functor for integral motivic sheaves, and show it preserves stratified Tate motives. Towards this end, we develop a reformulation of unipotent motivic nearby cycles, which also works over higher-dimensional bases. We moreover introduce Wakimoto motives and use them to show that our motivic central functor is t-exact. A decategorification of these functors yields a new approach to generic Hecke algebras for general parahorics.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

The above stratifications of $(\mathop{\rm Gr}\nolimits_{\mathcal{G}_{\mathbf{f}}})_\eta$ and $(\mathop{\rm Gr}\nolimits_{\mathcal{G}_\mathbf{f}})_{s}$ determine a universally anti-effective Whitney--Tate stratification of $\mathop{\rm Gr}\nolimits_{\mathcal{G}_{\mathbf{f}}}$, in the sense of Cassvd
