A weighted stable trace formula I: Basic functions
arXiv:2105.08759
Abstract
We establish endoscopic and stable trace formulas whose discrete spectral terms are weighted by automorphic -functions, by the use of basic functions that are incorporated into the global spectral and geometric coefficients. This is a continuation of a previous work of the author which established the corresponding weighted invariant trace formula for noncompactly supported test functions. The meromorphic continuation of these weighted trace formulas would yield -trace formulas, and can therefore be seen as precursors to them. Along the way, we formulate a weighted form of the Langlands-Shelstad transfer conjecture, generalizing the weighted fundamental lemma of Arthur.
