Let be a connected reductive algebraic group over a -adic local field . We study the asymptotic behaviour of the trace characters evaluated at a regular semisimple element of as varies among supercuspidal representations of . Kim, Shin and Templier conjectured that tends to when runs over irreducible supercuspidal representations of whose central character is unitary and the formal degree of tends to infinity. I will sketch the proof that for semisimple the trace character is uniformly bounded on under the assumption, which is believed to hold in general, that all irreducible supercuspidal representations of are compactly induced from an open CVcompact modulo center subgroup. If time allows I could also discuss progress on optimizing the bound.
