Appearance of the Kashiwara-Saito singularity in the representation theory of \(p\)-adic \(\mathrm{GL}(16)\) (Q2692603)

In the paper under the review, the authors calculate certain ABV-packets for the general linear groups, using a method which should be useful for both algorithmic implementation and symbolic calculation. It is known that A-packets for general linear groups are \(L\)-packets which are singletons. The authors prove that the ABV-packets for general linear groups do not have to be singletons. They obtain an unramified Langlands parameter for the group \(\mathrm{GL}_{16}(F)\), for a \(p\)-adic field \(F\), such that the corresponding ABV-packet contains exactly two representations. A consequence of this result is the existence of nonsingleton ABV-packets of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(F)\) for all \(n \geq 16\). It is also expected that the obtained example for the group \(\mathrm{GL}_{16}(F)\) is the simplest example of an admissible representation of the general linear group with a corona.
