Number Theory and Gravity

Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and influential conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry. Proposed by Robert Langlands at IAS (1967, 1970), it seeks to relate Galois ...

Analog of Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture in Geometric Langlands

The Ramanujan conjecture asserts that \begin{align} |\tau(p)|\leq 2p^{11/2} \end{align} where $\tau(p)$ is the $p^{th}$ Fourier coeffecient in the q-expansion of the weight 12 cusp form $\Delta(z)$. ...

Equivalence between $\mathcal{D}_\lambda$ modules and $\mathcal{D}_{0}$ modules

Fix $G$ a finite dimensional reductive group and $\lambda$ a weight. Apparently the category of $\mathcal{D}_\lambda$ modules on $G/B$ is equivalent to the category of $\mathcal{D}_0$ modules on $G'/B'...
