On the Hiraga-Ichino-Ikeda conjecture on formal degrees for $\mathrm{G}_2$

RESUMO

We prove that the twisted endoscopic character identities between triality $\mathrm{PGSO}_8$ and the endoscopic group $\mathrm{G}_2$ imply the Hiraga-Ichino-Ikeda conjecture on formal degrees for $\mathrm{G}_2$. In the course of proving the main result, we also establish some fundamental results on representation theory of $\mathrm{PGSO}_8$ with triality. A key feature of our approach is an application of the adjoint group of type $E_6$.
