On Langlands Functoriality- Reduction to the Semistable Case

On tensor product $L$-functions and Langlands functoriality

‎In the spirit of the Langlands proposal on  Beyond Endoscopy ‎we discuss the explicit relation between the Langlands functorial transfers and automorphic $L$-functions‎. ‎It is well-known that the poles of the $L$-functions have deep impact to the Langlands functoriality‎. ‎Our discussion also‎ ‎includes the meaning of the central value of the tensor product $L$-functions in terms of the Langl...

Langlands Functoriality Conjecture

Functoriality conjecture is one of the central and influential subjects of the present day mathematics. Functoriality is the profound lifting problem formulated by Robert Langlands in the late 1960s in order to establish nonabelian class field theory. In this expository article, I describe the Langlands-Shahidi method, the local and global Langlands conjectures and the converse theorems which a...

Langlands Program, Trace Formulas, and Their Geometrization

The Langlands Program relates Galois representations and automorphic representations of reductive algebraic groups. The trace formula is a powerful tool in the study of this connection and the Langlands Functoriality Conjecture. After giving an introduction to the Langlands Program and its geometric version, which applies to curves over finite fields and over the complex field, I give a survey ...

Functoriality for the Exterior Square of Gl4 and the Symmetric Fourth of Gl2

Let ∧ : GLn(C) −→ GLN (C), where N = n(n−1) 2 , be the map given by the exterior square. Then Langlands’ functoriality predicts that there is a map from cuspidal representations of GLn to automorphic representations of GLN , which satisfies certain canonical properties. To explain, let F be a number field, and let A be its ring of adeles. Let π = ⊗ v πv be a cuspidal (automorphic) representatio...
