Geometrization of the global Langlands correspondence?
Fargues-Scholze famously describe arithmetic local Langlands via global geometric Langlands on the Fargues-Fontaine (FF) curve.
The FF curve acts like an algebraic curve over $\mathbb{C}_p$ (its ...

What is the sum operation on torsors induced by Weil uniformization?
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 $G$-...

Why are they called reductive groups? [duplicate]
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?

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 ...

Understanding moduli of shtukas of non-minuscule cocharacter
I have kind of a soft question. I've studied the basics of L. Lafforgue's proof of function field Langlands for GLn, and its use of the moduli of shtukas with two legs, and the cocharacters $[1,0,\...

Does $\text{Bun}_G$ have the homotopy type of a classifying space in positive characteristic?
In these lecture notes by Jacob Lurie, he identifies the homotopy type of $\text{Bun}_G$ with that of a certain classifying space $B\mathcal{P}_{sm}$ when the group scheme $G$ is over $\mathbb{C}$. ...

Ramified Geometric Langlands
Is the following a reasonable formulation of (a part of) the geometric Langlands conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a curve $X$?
(*) Let $\mathcal{L}$ be an irreducible rank $n$ $\ell$-adic local ...

What is the relationship between the sheaf-function dictionary and cohomology of moduli spaces of shtukas?
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 ...

What is the analogy between the moduli of shtukas and Shimura varieties?
I have heard that moduli spaces of shtukas are supposed to be the analogue of Shimura varieties in the setting of function fields. Could someone more knowledgeable about these objects explain how this ...

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 ...

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 ...

Arthur's refinement of parameters for unitary automorphic representations
In his work on the classification of automorphic representations of a group $G$, Arthur has conjectured that the parameterization of such representations involves a homomorphism $\rho : SL_2 \times ...

Current Status on Langlands Program
The Langlands Program was launched almost fifty years ago, and progress has been made gradually, much of it hard earned. Langlands himself wrote a survey on the functoriality conjecture in 1997, Where ...

Why is the simple trace formula a weaker tool than the Arthur trace formula?
What are some concrete examples of theorems which can be deduced from the Arthur trace formula, which do not follow from the simple trace of Kazdhan and Flicker?
(So I do not mean weaker in the sense ...
