G-bundle on the Fargues-Fontaine curve
A principal G-bundle on a Fargues-Fontaine curve, classified on geometric points by a G-isocrystal.
Let be a connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field . A -bundle on the Fargues–Fontaine curve is a principal -bundle on ; equivalently, in Tannakian form, it is an exact tensor functor
As the perfectoid space varies, these bundles form a -stack .
Bundle attached to an isocrystal
For , every representation gives the isocrystal , hence a vector bundle on the curve. The compatible family of these vector bundles defines a -bundle . Its isomorphism class depends only on .
Classification and strata
On geometric points, the assignment
is a bijection from the Kottwitz set to . The Newton and Kottwitz invariants give a Harder–Narasimhan stratification
The stratum is a geometric stack, not merely a point; its automorphism geometry contains the group .
Semistability
The bundle is semistable exactly when is basic, meaning that its Newton point is central. On the basic stratum, is an inner form of . The trivial class gives the open stratum
This embeds the category of smooth -representations into sheaves on .
Local Langlands role
Hecke modifications of -bundles at untilt divisors implement the geometric Satake action. The Fargues conjecture and Fargues–Scholze theory seek to organize sheaves on by local -parameters.
