Katz-Radon transform of l-adic representations
Abstract
We prove a simple explicit formula for the local Katz-Radon transform of an l-adic representation of the Galois group of the fraction field of a strictly henselian discrete valuation ring with positive residual characteristic, which can be defined as the local additive convolution with a fixed tame character. The formula is similar to one proved by D. Arinkin in the D-module setting, and answers a question posed by N. Katz.

The p oo is e y simila o he one o ρχ. Since e e y ep esen a ion in R∞

Lemma 4.2. Le F,G ∈ R∞be o ally wild, wi h Fha ing all slopes >1. Then
Swan(ρ0

Swan∞((F ∗ Lχ)⊗ G) = Swan(ρ0

We conclude exac ly as in lemma 3.3.
Using lemma 3.1 as in p oposi ion 3.4 we deduce
