Abstract: Work of Kazhdan-Lusztig and Bezrukavnikov suggests the importance of points in affine Springer fibers for which the associated conjugacy class in the finite dimensional Lie algebra is regular. Such points are characterized in a different way in this paper, using the same kind of information as goes into the weight factors used to form weighted orbital integrals.

Review text

Let \(F\) be \(\mathbb C ((\epsilon))\) and \(\mathcal O\) the subring \(\mathbb C \epsilon\). Let \(G\) be a connected reductive group over \(\mathbb C\). The main subject of this paper are the varieties \(G(F)/G(\mathcal O)\) and in particular the affine Springer fibres \[ X^{u} = \{ g\in G(F)/G(\mathcal O) :\text{Ad}(g^{-1})(u) \in \mathfrak g(\mathcal O)\} \] where \(\mathfrak g\) denotes the Lie algebra of \(G\). A point of \(X^{u}\) is said to be \textit{regular} if the associated orbit is regular in \(\mathfrak g(\mathbb C)\). \textit{D. Kazhdan} and \textit{G. Lusztig} [Isr. J. Math. 62, 129--168 (1988; Zbl 0658.22005)] showed that \(X^{u}\) is a locally finite union of projective algebraic varieties. In this paper the authors describe explicitly (recursively) the regular elements of \(X^{u}\) in terms of certain numerical invariants introduced by \textit{J. Arthur} [Invent. Math. 32, 205--261 (1976; Zbl 0359.22008)]. The proof is inductive in the sense that it relies on a verification in the case of \(SL(2)\) and then extends to the general case using the techniques of Lie theory.
