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'...

What do Hecke eigensheaves actually look like?

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field, $C$ a curve over $\mathbb F_q$ of genus $g\geq 2$, $\rho: \pi_1(C) \to GL_2(\overline{\mathbb Q}_\ell)$ an irreducible local system. The geometric Langlands ...
