Casimir eigenvalues of p-adic automorphic representations

In the context of p-adic local Langlands correspondence: Is it possible to define Casimir eigenvalues for p-adic automorphic representations? If a local representation arises from a global Galois ...

Exposition of Drinfeld's proof of function field Langlands for GL(2)

I know, or think I know, the vague outline of the proof: the Galois-to-automorphic direction is "classical," i.e. follows from converse theorems due to Grothendieck et al., and for the ...

How do we deduce the Jacquet-Langlands correspondence from Fargues' two towers?

In trying to understand the geometric proof of the local-Langlands and Jacquet-Langlands correspondence which uses Fargues's two tower theorem, I am having trouble finding a nice source on this, and I ...

What does it mean for a complex valued function on $G(\mathbb A)$ to be smooth (or smooth of compact support)?

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a number field $k$. Let $\mathbb A$ denote the adeles of $k$, $\mathbb A_f$ the finite adeles, and $k_{\infty} = \prod\limits_{v \mid \infty} k_v$. Here are ...

How does the Bernstein-Zelevinsky construction of irreducibles from supercuspidals parallel the representations of the Weil-Deligne group?

In the Corvallis article Number Theoretic Background, here is what John Tate has to say on the local Langlands correspondence for a $p$-adic field $F$: So, granting a correspondence between ...

L-functions for the Weil group over short exact sequences

Let $(\rho,V)$ be a continuous finite dimensional representation of the Weil group $W_F$ over a local field $F$. If $V$ decomposes as a direct sum $V_1 \oplus V_2$ of representations, then $$L(s,\...

The proof of Kazhdan's density theorem (And does it hold over positive characteristic?)

When proving identities about traces of functions on representations of $p$-adic groups, Kazhdan's density theorem indicates one only has to check equalities of traces on tempered representations. ...

Funktorialität in der Theorie der automorphen Formen

In 2010 Langlands wrote an article with the title Funktorialität in der Theorie der automorphen Formen: Ihre Entdeckung und ihre Ziele. On the IAS website, he says that This note ... was written ...

References for particular topics related to Langlands

I have never really concentrated on Langlands, which explains my poor level of understanding of it. But I have read quite a few introductory papers related to Langlands, and to the circle of ideas ...

Galois representation associated to a modular form is crystalline iff...

I am looking for the reference for the following fact (used, for example, in the proof of theorem 4.4. in Breuil's expose about local-global compatibility at Bourbaki): For $f$ a modular cuspidal ...
