Abstract: We study the genuine part of the Arthur-Selberg trace formula for some nonlinear covers of connected reductive groups. As a first step towards the invariant trace formula, we express the geometric side in terms of weighted orbital integrals. In particular, our results apply to the covers constructed by Brylinksi and Deligne.

Review text

This paper develops the geometric side of the Arthur-Selberg trace formula for the covering groups of connected reductive groups. The end result is an expansion in terms of weighted orbital integrals. The result is analogous to the case of connected reductive groups, with the main new ingredient being the notion of \textit{good} orbits, where being good is a condition on the covering over the centralizer of a representative of the orbit. The proof follows the arguments of Arthur, however this is by no means a simple extension of Arthur's work. The author strives to prove a result in a general setting. The results are applicable to covering groups satisfying a set of precisely described conditions. In particular it is shown that the covering groups defined by the Brylinski-Deligne extension satisfy these conditions. The paper contains a detailed discussion on the definition of covering groups. It can serve as a good reference.
