I'm a newcomer to the geometric Langlands setting, and have mostly consulted surveys like Laumon's overview of L. Lafforgue's proof or Frenkel's recent advances survey, so apologies if this is ...

Let $\overline{X}$ be a smooth proper curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$, for some $q$, $S$ a collection of $\mathbb{F}_q$ points of $\overline{X}$, and set $X=\overline{X}-S$. For a rank $n$ $\overline{\...

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ a reductive group, and $C$ a curve. The algebraic version of the Weil uniformization theorem (see e.g. arXiv:1511.06271v2) says that groupoid of $G$-...

The reductive groups play a central role in the Langlands correspondence. Why are these groups called reductive? Does this name suggest something conceptual about these groups?
