Endoscopic character identities for metaplectic groups (Q2209455)

The paper under review proves the endoscopic character identities for tempered representations of metaplectic groups \(Mp(2n)\) over a local field of characteristic zero as formulated by W. W. Li in [\textit{W. T. Gan} and \textit{W.-W. Li}, in: Geometric aspects of the trace formula. Proceedings of the Simons symposium, Schloss Elmau, Germany, April 10--16, 2016. Cham: Springer, 183--210 (2018; Zbl 1453.11065)]. The formulation relies on the local Langlands correspondence for \(Mp(2n)\), which has been established using theta correspondence by Adams-Barbasch in the archimedean case and Gan-Savin in the \(p\)-adic case. In the archimedean case, the endosopic character identities of \(Mp(2n)\) have been proved by \textit{D. Renard} in a different form [ Am. J. Math. 121, No. 6, 1215--1243 (1999; Zbl 0942.22010)] and the author gives a reinterpretation of that result. In the nonarchimedean case the author uses a local-global argument with key inputs from the W. W. Li's simple stable trace formula of \(Mp(2n)\), Gan-Ichino's multiplicity formula for the tempered discrete spectrum of \(Mp(2n)\) and Arthur's stable multiplicity formula for special odd orthogonal groups.
