Construction of Local Arthur Packets for Metaplectic Groups and the Adams Conjecture

Abstract

In this article, we explicitly construct local Arthur packets for metaplectic groups over non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic zero. Our construction is a generalization of Atobe's construction of local Arthur packets for classical groups. As a result, we prove that the local Arthur packets are multiplicity free. Moreover, we generalize Moeglin's earlier work about the Adams conjecture to metaplectic groups.
