Seminars for the week of October 3, 2005
Colloquium
Thursday, 3:30, in VinH 16Professor David Vogan
of MIT
will speak on
"The local Langlands conjecture"
In this lecture I'll explain how Langlands recast the description of representations from the second lecture--in terms of characters of diagonal subgroups--to make it a natural local piece of a description of some global arithmetic objects. Because the resulting conjecture relates representation theory to arithmetic, it allows these two subjects to inform each other. I'll conclude with some examples of how that has worked in the past, and of what it may suggest in the future.
