Abstract
We characterize the tempered part of the automorphic Langlands category D-mod(Bun_G) using the geometry of the big cell in the affine Grassmannian. We deduce that, for non-abelian, tempered D-modules have no de Rham cohomology with compact supports. The latter fact boils down to a concrete statement, which we prove using the Ran space and some explicit t-structure estimates: for non-abelian and a smooth affine curve, the Borel-Moore homology of the indscheme vanishes.
