Proof of a conjecture of Frenkel-Gaitsgory-Kazhdan-Vilonen for general linear groups (Q5932018)

The conjecture in the title is a conjecture concerning intersection cohomology on Grassmannians [cf. \textit{E. Frenkel, D. Gaitsgory, D. Kazhdan} and \textit{K. Vilonen}, J. Am. Math. Soc. 11, 451--484 (1998; Zbl 1068.11501)]. It is related to the geometric interpretation of Langlands' correspondence in characteristic different from zero. The conjecture is stated in [loc. cit.] for any split reductive algebraic group and proved in the present paper for \(\text{GL}(n)\). The proof consists of a study of a resolution of the scheme of lattices.
