Mostly because it won't compile.
Java
for(int k = lo; k <= hi; k++) {
    if(i > mid)
    else if(j > hi)
    else if(less(aux[j], aux[i]))
    else
}
None of your conditional code contains any executable lines after the condition: That won't compile at all.
You have this:
Java
if (condition)
else if (other condition)
else
And you need this:
Java
if (condition)
   something to do when it is true
else if (other condition)
   something to do when it is true
else
   something to do when neither was true

Given all these Java questions you have posted, I would advise you to go to Java Tutorials Learning Paths[^], and spend some time studying the language.
