Given a group $G$, there is a so-called Langlands dual group $G^{∨}$.

Given a group $G$, there is also a so-called Goddard-Nyuts-Olive dual group $G^{'}$ that relates to the magnetic charge.

  1. Are the two $G^{∨}$ and $G^{'}$ defined in different settings? Or are their definitions related? What are the intuitions and motivations behind their definitions?

  2. Are the two $G^{∨}$ and $G^{'}$ exactly the same?

  3. What are the constraints on $G$ to give such groups: $G^{∨}$ and $G^{'}$? (eg, simplecompact or not, simple, semi-simple, connected, simply-connected, Lie group or not, topological group, etc.)
