Non-linear Fourier transforms and the Braverman-Kazhdan conjecture

Abstract

In this article we prove a conjecture of Braverman-Kazhdan in \cite{BK} on the acyclicity of gamma sheaves in the de Rham setting. The proof relies on the techniques developed in \cite{BFO} on Drinfeld center of Harish-Chandra bimodules and character D-modules. As an application, we show that the functors of convolution with gamma D-modules, which can be viewed as a version of non-linear Fourier transforms, commute with induction functors and are exact on the category of admissible D-modules on a reductive group.
