L-packets over strong real forms

Abstract

Langlands [On the classification of irreducible representations of real algebraic groups, Math. Surveys Monogr., vol. 31, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 1989, pp. 101–170] defined L L -packets for real reductive groups. In order to refine the local Langlands correspondence, Adams-Barbasch-Vogan [The Langlands classification and irreducible characters for real reductive groups, Progress in Mathematics, vol. 104, Birkhäuser Boston, Inc., Boston, MA, 1992] combined L-packets over all real forms belonging to an inner class. In the tempered setting, using different methods, Kaletha [Ann. of Math. (2) 184 (2016), pp. 559–632] also defines such combined L-packets with a refinement to the local Langlands correspondence. We prove that the tempered L-packets of Adams-Barbasch-Vogan and Kaletha are the same and are parameterized identically.
