Let F be a local or global field and let G be a linear algebraic group over F . We study Tannakian categories of representations of the Kottwitz gerbes Rep(KtF ) and the functor G → B(F, G) defined by Kottwitz in [28]. In particular, we show that if F is a function field of a curve over Fq, then Rep(KtF ) is equivalent to the category of Drinfeld isoshtukas. In the case of number fields, we establish the existence of various fiber functors on Rep(Kt Q ) and its subcategories and show that Scholze's conjecture [41, Conjecture 9.5] follows from the full Tate conjecture over finite fields [47].
