Rigid inner forms vs isocrystals

Abstract

We compare two statements of the refined local Langlands correspondence for connected reductive groups defined over a p-adic field -- one involving Kottwitz's set B(G) of isocrystals with additional structure, and one involving the cohomology set H^1(u -> W,Z -> G) introduced in arXiv:1304.3292. We show that if either statement is valid for all connected reductive groups, then so is the other. We also discuss how the second statement depends on the choice of element of H^1(u -> W,Z -> G).
