In the late 1960s, Robert Langlands proposed a new and far-reaching connection between the representation theory of Lie groups over real and -adic fields, and the structure of the Galois groups of these fields [24]. Even though this local Langlands correspondence remains largely conjectural, the relation that it predicts between representation theory and number theory has profoundly changed our...

The local Langlands correspondence for GL(n) of a non-Archimedean local field F parametrizes irreducible admissible representations of GL(n, F ) in terms of representations of the Weil-Deligne group WDF of F . The correspondence, whose existence for p-adic fields was proved in joint work of the author with R. Taylor, and then more simply by G. Henniart, is characterized by its preservation of s...

We establish the unicity of types for depth-zero supercuspidal representations of an arbitrary p-adic group G, showing that each depth-zero supercuspidal representation of G contains a unique conjugacy class of typical representations of maximal compact subgroups of G. As a corollary, we obtain an inertial Langlands correspondence for these representations via the Langlands correspondence of De...

In this paper, we present a refinement of the global Langlands correspondence for discrete symplectic motives of rank 2n over Q. To such a motive Langlands conjecturally associates a generic, automorphic representation π of the split orthogonal group SO2n+1 over Q, which appears with multiplicity one in the cuspidal spectrum. Using the local theory of generic representations of odd orthogonal g...
