Stable conjugacy and epipelagic L-packets for Brylinski-Deligne covers of Sp(2n)

Abstract: Let

F

be a local field of characteristic not

2

. We propose a definition of stable conjugacy for all the covering groups of

m a t h r m S p (2 n, F)

constructed by Brylinski and Deligne, whose degree we denote by

m

. To support this notion, we follow Kaletha's approach to construct genuine epipelagic

L

-packets for such covers in the non-archimedean case with

p m i d 2 m

, or some weaker variant when

4 m i d m

; we also prove the stability of packets when

F s u p s e t m a t h b b Q_{p}

with

p

large. When

m = 2

, the stable conjugacy reduces to that defined by J. Adams, and the epipelagic

L

-packets coincide with those obtained by

T h e t a

-correspondence. This fits within Weissman's formalism of L-groups. For

n = 1

and

m

even, it is also compatible with the transfer factors proposed by K. Hiraga and T. Ikeda.
