Abstract: Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $mathbb{F}_q$ and $SsubseteqX$ a subset of closed points. Let $$ and $$ be their base changes to an algebraic closure of $mathbb{F}_q$. We study the number of $ell$-adic local systems in rank $2$ over $$ with prescribed tame local monodromies fixed by $k$-fold iterated action of Frobenius endomorphism for every $kgeq1$. We confirm some conjectures of Deligne predicting that these numbers behave as if they were obtained from a Lefschetz fixed point formula. In fact, in all cases, our counting results are expressed in terms of the numbers of some Higgs bundles.
