I would like to know which books I should read to understand the paper ["The local Langlands correspondence for $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over $p$-adic fields"][1] written by Peter Scholze. I only know mathematics subjects at the master's degree level. I also learned about representation theory of finite groups. Next year I will probably start my PhD in Lie theory but I'd like to read the above article as a personal project. ---------- **EDIT:** I found a good article that shows the necessary prerequisites to get a glimpse of the Langlands Program and I want to share it: [Prerequisites for the Langlands Program.][2] [1]: https://www.math.uni-bonn.de/people/scholze/LocalLanglands.pdf [2]: https://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~aknapp/pdf-files/china1.pdf
