Abstract: Suppose that $ildeG$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $ildeG$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the group of $Gamma$-fixed points in $ildeG$ is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair $(ildeG,Gamma)$, and consider any group $G$, not just the $Gamma$-fixed points of $ildeG$, satisfying the axioms. (In fact, the axioms do not require $Gamma$ to act on all of $ildeG$.) If both $ildeG$ and $G$ are $k$-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals $ilde{G}^{\ast }$ and $G^{*}$. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from semisimple stable conjugacy classes in $G^{\ast }(k)$ to those in $ilde{G}^{\ast }(k)$. If $k$ is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map from semisimple conjugacy classes in $G^{\ast }(k)$ to those in $ilde{G}^{\ast }(k)$. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of $G(k)$ and $ildeG(k)$, one obtains a mapping of such packets.
