Stability of Elliptic Fargues-Scholze $L$-packets

TL;DR
The paper establishes stability for Harish-Chandra characters of FS L-packets attached to elliptic parameters by leveraging a geometric realization on Bun_G, the spectral action, and Hecke eigen-structures. It reduces stability to an equidistribution problem for weight multiplicities in high-weight representations, which is solved via Fourier analysis on finite abelian groups and precise growth estimates. The authors construct a derived packet \pi_0 = \mathcal{O}(S_{\varphi}) * \pi whose Harish-Chandra character is stable on elliptic regular semisimple elements, and show nonzero stability in characteristic zero; they also extend the stability to transfers across extended pure inner forms. The approach provides a self-contained, endoscopy-free route to stability, compatible with positive characteristic and deeply grounded in the geometric Langlands framework for p-adic groups.
Abstract
Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field. Let $\overline{F}$ be an algebraic closure of $F$. Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $F$. Let $\varphi$ be an elliptic $L$-parameter. For every irreducible representation $π$ of $G(F)$ with Fargues--Scholze $L$-parameter $\varphi$, we prove that there exists a finite set of irreducible representations $\{π_i\}_{i \in I}$ containing $π$, such that $π_i$ has Fargues--Scholze $L$-parameter $\varphi$ for all $i \in I$ and a certain non-zero $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination $Θ_{π_0}$ of the Harish-Chandra characters of $\{π_i\}_{i \in I}$ is stable under $G(\overline{F})$ conjugation, as a function on the elliptic regular semisimple elements of $G(F)$. Moreover, if $F$ has characteristic zero, $Θ_{π_0}$ is a non-zero stable distribution on $G(F)$.
