Implications and consequences of the recent proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture
I am a beginner in mathematical physics and geometric Langlands, having very limited knowledge in both fields so far.
The proof of geometric Langlands conjecture is published a few months ago. What ...

Roadmap to geometric Langlands for a mathematical physics student
I am a student of both mathematics and physics, who has recently been studying string theory. My mathematics background is mostly differential geometry (principal bundles, Lie groups, etc.), although ...

Relationship between the TQFTs in Kapustin-Witten and Ben-Zvi-Sakellaridis-Venkatesh
In upcoming work of Ben-Zvi-Sakellaridis-Venkatesh, (see for instance these notes or this lecture) some important aspects of the Langlands correspondence are stated in the language of topological ...

Langlands dual group in math vs. Goddard-Nyuts-Olive dual group in physics
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.
Are ...

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 ...

Langlands dual and integrable representations
Assume I successfully classified the integrable representations of a certain semi-simple Lie group $G$. Given this information, what do I know about the integrable representations of $G^\vee$, the ...

Number theory and physics
I was following some lectures by Edward Frenkel about Langlands correspondence. He was describing some analogies between number theory and theoretical physics (Mirror symmetry). At some point ( my ...

Vector bundles, Higgs bundles and the Langlands program
This question is somewhat vaguely structured. But, I hope someone can make it more precise (or) it is indeed possible to answer it in the form that I am stating it.
Background : I recently chanced ...

The affine Grassmannian and the Bogomolny equations
In "Electric-Magnetic Duality and The Geometric Langlands Program", Sections 9 and 10, Kapustin and Witten describe certain convolution varieties in the affine Grassmannian (and more ...
