Pure Math Grad Colloquium

Jack Jia, University of Waterloo

Langlands Correspondence : Local, Global, and Possibly Geometric.

The classical global Langlands Correspondence is one of the deepest phenomenon in mathematics: In GL_1, it is equivalent to class field theory; in GL_2, it subsumes the modularity conjecture, which leads to the proof of Fermat’s last theorem. (Disclaimer: I will not talk about these). In this talk, I will explain what the local and global L.C. means, and talk about the geometrization if time permits.

Join us for the Grad colloquium to meet your fellow graduate students. Refreshments will start at 5:00, and the talk will start at 5:30.
