Arthur's groups $\mathcal S$ in local Langlands correspondence for certain covering groups of algebraic tori

TL;DR
The paper addresses parametrizing packets in the local Langlands correspondence for Brylinski-Deligne covering groups of tori by identifying a finite packet group $\mathcal S_{\widetilde{T}}$. Using lattice data $Y$, its sublattices $Y^{\#}$ and $Y^{\Gamma\#}$, and the bilinear form $B_{\widetilde{T}}$, it reduces the problem to a Galois-cohomological analysis of the center image $Z^{\dagger}$ and derives an explicit description of the packet group. The main result proves that, under the coprimality condition $\gcd(n,e)=1$, the packet group is $\mathcal S_{\widetilde{T}}=\iota((Y^{\Gamma\#}\otimes\overline{\mathcal O}^{\times})^{\Gamma})/\iota((Y^{\#}\otimes\overline{\mathcal O}^{\times})^{\Gamma})$, with the residue-field version involving $\overline{\mathbf f}^{\times}$; this generalizes Weissman’s unramified torus description to ramified tori. The approach connects center data to Langlands parameters via $T^{\#}$ and Tate duality, advancing the Langlands program for covering groups by providing a concrete packet parametrization in the ramified setting.
Abstract
We determine the finite group $\mathcal S$ parametrizing a packet in the local Langlands correspondence for a Brylinski-Deligne covering group of an algebraic torus, under some assumption on ramification. Especially, this work generalizes Weissman's result on covering groups of tori that split over an unramified extension of the base field.
