Abstract:

We define and study a correspondence between the set of distinguished $G^0$-conjugacy classes in a fixed connected component of a reductive group $G$ (with $G^0$ almost simple) and the set of (twisted) elliptic conjugacy classes in the Weyl group. We also prove a homogeneity property related to this correspondence.
