Abstract: We prove a converse theorem for split even special orthogonal groups over finite fields. This is the only case left on converse theorems of split classical groups and the difficulty is the existence of the outer automorphism. In this paper, we develop new ideas and overcome this difficulty.


Let \(G\) be a connected reductive group. In the representation theory of \(G\) over local fields \(F\), converse theorems seek to uniquely identify a representation from its invariants. Among others, local gamma factors are important arithmetic invariants which play an important role in the theory of Langlands program. More precisely, let \(F\) be a nonarchimedean local field, and let \(\pi\) be an irreducible generic representation of \(\mathsf{GL}_{n}(F)\). The family of local twisted gamma factors \(\gamma(s, \pi \times \tau, \psi)\), for \(\tau\) any irreducible generic representation of \(\mathsf{GL}_{r}(F)\), \(\psi\) an additive character of \(F\) and \(s \in \mathbb{C}\), can be defined using the Rankin-Selberg convolution (see [\textit{H. Jacquet} et al., Am. J. Math. 105, 367--464 (1983; Zbl 0525.22018)] or the Langlands-Shahidi method (see [\textit{F. Shahidi}, Am. J. Math. 106, 67--111 (1984; Zbl 0567.22008)]). The local converse problem is to determine which family of local twisted gamma factors will uniquely determine \(\pi\). A local converse theorem for \(\mathsf{GL}_{n}\) has been proved by \textit{J. Chai}, in [J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 21, No. 6, 1703--1728 (2019; Zbl 1476.11082)], and, independently, by \textit{H. Jacquet} and the second author, in [Am. J. Math. 140, No. 5, 1399--1422 (2018; Zbl 1451.11042)]. Local converse theorems for other classical groups also have been proved by various authors. The case left for the local converse problems of classical groups over non-Archimedean local fields and finite fields is \(\mathsf{SO}_{2n}\). The difficulty is due to existence of the outer automorphism. In the paper under review (and in [``On the local converse theorem for split \(\mathsf{SO}_{2n}\), Preprint, \url{arXiv:2301.13847}]), the authors develop new ideas and overcome this difficulty. With their result, they complete the program of proving the local converse theorem for all classical groups.
