The "Summer School on the Langlands Program" will be held at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) from 11 to 29 July. IHES is located in Bures-sur-Yvette, south of Paris (40 minutes by train from Paris).

This school is open to everybody but intended primarily for young participants, including Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows.



It has been almost 45 years since the influential summer school held in Corvallis, Oregon in 1977 brought together the leading experts of the Langlands program and defined the research agenda in this area for subsequent decades, at the same time inspiring and enabling several generations of young researchers to join in this exciting journey. This 3-week IHES summer school aims to do the same for the next phase of development in the Langlands program.

Recent decades have brought tremendous progress on the project of endoscopy, the extension of the Langlands program to the “relative” setting of spherical varieties and other related spaces, numerous successful “explicit” methods (such as the theta correspondence) to construct functoriality, novel ideas “beyond endoscopy”, and arithmetic applications of both the theta correspondence and the relative trace formula to the study of special cycles and their generating series. Ideas from the geometric Langlands program have begun impacting and enriching the classical Langlands program in significant ways. In particular, the idea that the “space of Langlands parameters” is not just a set, but a (putative) geometric space, can be used to organize a lot of developments around reciprocity, including the Taylor–Wiles method, derived structures, the Langlands correspondence over function fields, and the geometrization of the local Langlands conjecture.

The summer school will attempt to bring these exciting new directions together and explore their interactions.

      Shimura Varieties: outline (1/3)

      Depending on your point of view, Shimura varieties are a special kind of locally symmetric spaces, a generalization of moduli spaces of abelian schemes with extra structures, or the imperfect characteristic 0 version of moduli spaces of shtuka. They play an important role in the Langlands program because they have many symmetries (the Hecke correspondences) allowing us to link their cohomology to the theory of automorphic representations, and on the other hand, they are explicit enough for this cohomology to be computable. The goal of these lectures is to give an introduction to Shimura varieties, to present some examples, and to explain the conjectures on their cohomology (at least in the simplest case).

      Arthur’s Conjectures and the Orbit Method for Real Reductive Groups

      The most fundamental unsolved problem in the representation theory of Lie groups is the Problem of the Unitary Dual: given a reductive Lie group G, this problem asks for a parameterization of the set of irreducible unitary G-representations. There are two big "philosophies" for approaching this problem. The Orbit Method of Kostant and Kirillov seeks to parameterize irreducible unitary representations in terms of finite covers of co-adjoint G-orbits. Arthur's conjectures suggest a parameterization in terms of certain combinatorial gadgets (i.e. Arthur parameters) related to the Langlands dual group G^{\vee} of G.
      In this talk, I will define these correspondences precisely in the case of complex groups. I will also define a natural duality map from Arthur parameters (for G^{\vee}) to co-adjoint covers (for G) which, in a certain precise sense, intertwines these correspondences. This talk is partially based on joint work with Ivan Losev and Dmitryo Matvieievskyi.

      The Relative Langlands Program (1/3)

      This is an introduction to what is nowadays called the Relative Langlands Program whose rough aim is to enhance the original Langlands conjectures from group to certain G-spaces named spherical varieties. The development of this relative aspect of the Langlands program originates from the discovery, by way of many examples, that automorphic periods and local distinction problems are often related to functoriality and/or L-functions.

      A Brief Introduction to the Trace Formula and its Stabilization (1/2)

      We will discuss the derivation of the stable Arthur-Selberg trace formula. In the first lecture we will focus on anisotropic reductive groups, for which the trace formula can be derived easily. We will then discuss the stabilization of this trace formula, which is unconditional on the geometric side, and relies on the Arthur conjectures on the spectral side. In the second lecture we will sketch the case of an arbitrary reductive group, which causes many analytic difficulties. We will briefly describe the various stops on the road to the stable trace formula, including the coarse and fine expansions of the non-invariant trace formula, as well the invariant trace formula. Examples will be given for the group SL_2. Towards the end, we will discuss the application of the stable trace formula to the classification of representations of classical groups.

      Local Shtukas and the Langlands Program (1/2)

      In the Langlands program over number fields, automorphic representations and Galois representations are placed into correspondence, using the cohomology of Shimura varieties as an intermediary. Over a function field, the appropriate intermediary is a moduli space of shtukas. We introduce the shtukas and their local analogs, which play a similar role in the local Langlands program. Along the way, we construct the Fargues-Fontaine curve and discuss perfectoid spaces and diamonds. This survey may be seen as preparatory for the lectures of Fargues-Scholze.

      Cohomology sheaves and cohomology groups of stacks of shtukas are used in the Langlands program for function fields. We will explain (1) how the Eichler-Shimura relations imply the finiteness property of the cohomology groups, (2) how the finiteness and Drinfeld's lemma imply the action of the Weil group of the function field on the cohomology groups, and (3) how this action and the "Zorro lemma" imply the smoothness of the cohomology sheaves. The smoothness will be used in Sam Raskin’s lecture.

      Supercuspidal Representations: Construction, Classification, and Characters (1/2)

      We have seen in the first week of the summer school that the buildings blocks for irreducible representations of p-adic groups are the supercuspidal representations. In these talks we will explore explicit exhaustive constructions of these supercuspidal representations and their character formulas and observe a striking parallel between a large class of these representations in the p-adic world and discrete series representations of real algebraic Lie groups. A key ingredient for the construction of supercuspidal representations is the Bruhat--Tits theory and Moy--Prasad filtration, which we will introduce in the lecture series.

      Branching Laws: Homological Aspects

      By this time in the Summer School, the audience will have seen the question about decomposing a group's representation when restricted to a subgroup, referred to as the branching law. In this lecture, we focus attention on homological aspects of the branching law. The lecture will survey this topic beginning from the beginning and going up to several results which have recently been proved.

      On Moduli Spaces of Local Langlands Parameters (2/2)

      The moduli space of local Langlands parameters plays a key role in the formulation of some recent enhancements of the original local Langlands correspondence, such as the "local Langlands correspondence in families" and various "categorifications/geometrizations of LLC". We will explain their construction and basic properties, with special emphasis on the coarse moduli spaces.

      Shimura Varieties and Modularity (1/3)

      We describe the construction of Galois representations associated to regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representations of GL_n over a CM field, as well as those Galois representations associated to torsion classes that occur in the Betti cohomology of the corresponding locally symmetric spaces. The emphasis will be on Scholze’s proof, which applies to torsion classes and which uses perfectoid Shimura varieties and the Hodge-Tate period morphism.

      Shimura Varieties and Modularity (2/3)

      We describe the Calegari-Geraghty method for proving modularity lifting theorems beyond the classical setting of the Taylor-Wiles method. We discuss the three conjectures that this method relies on (existence of Galois representations, local-global compatibility and vanishing of cohomology outside a certain range of degrees) and their current status, and then explain the commutative algebra underlying the method.

      Geometric and Arithmetic Theta Correspondences (1/2)

      Geometric/arithmetic theta correspondences provide correspondences between automorphic forms and cohomology classes/algebraic cycles on Shimura varieties. I will give an introduction focusing on the example of unitary groups and highlight recent advances in the arithmetic theory (also known as the Kudla program) and their applications.

      Shimura Varieties and Modularity (3/3)

      We discuss vanishing theorems for the cohomology of Shimura varieties with torsion coefficients, under a genericity condition at an auxiliary prime. We describe two complementary approaches to these results, due to Caraiani-Scholze and Koshikawa, both of which rely on the geometry of the Hodge-Tate period morphism for the corresponding Shimura varieties. Finally, we explain how these vanishing results can be applied to local-global compatibility questions for the Galois representations constructed in the first lecture.

      Hamiltonian Actions and Langlands Duality (1/2)

      I will give a gentle introduction to my joint work with Ben-Zvi and Sakellaridis, in which we seek to formulate various phenomena in the Langlands program in terms of Hamiltonian actions of reductive groups. In particular, this makes visible a duality underlying the relative Langlands program.

      High-dimensional Gross–Zagier Formula (1/2)

      Between Coherent and Constructible Local Langlands Correspondences

      (Joint with Harrison Chen, David Helm, and David Nadler.)
      Refined forms of the local Langlands correspondence seek to relate representations of reductive groups over local fields with sheaves on stacks of Langlands parameters. But what kind of sheaves? Conjectures in the spirit of Kazhdan-Lusztig theory describe representations of a group and its pure inner forms with fixed central character in terms of constructible sheaves. Conjectures in the spirit of geometric Langlands describe representations with varying central character of a large family of groups associated to isocrystals in terms of coherent sheaves. The latter conjectures also take place on a larger parameter space, in which Frobenius (or complex conjugation) is allowed a unipotent part.
      In this talk, we propose a general mechanism that interpolates between these two settings. This mechanism derives from the theory of cyclic homology, as interpreted through circle actions in derived algebraic geometry. We apply this perspective to categorical forms of the local Langlands conjectures for both archimedean and non-archimedean local fields. In the archimedean case, we explain a conjectural realization of coherent local Langlands as geometric Langlands on the twistor line, the real counterpart of the Fargues-Fontaine curve, and its relation to constructible local Langlands via circle actions. In the non-archimedean case, we describe how circle actions relate coherent and constructible realizations of affine Hecke algebras and of all smooth representations of $GL_n$, and propose a mechanism to relate the two settings in general.

      Local and Global Questions “Beyond Endoscopy” (1/2)

      The near completion of the program of endoscopy poses the question of what lies next.
      These talks will take a broad view of ideas beyond the program of endoscopy, highlighting the connections among them, and emphasizing the relationship between local and global aspects. Central among those ideas is the one proposed in a 2000 lecture of R.~P.~Langlands, aiming to extract from the stable trace formula of a group $G$ the bulk of those automorphic representations in the image of the conjectural functorial lift corresponding to a morphism of $L$-groups ${^LH}\to {^LG}$. With the extension of the problem of functionality to the "relative'' setting of spherical varieties and related spaces, some structure behind such comparisons has started to reveal itself. In a seemingly unrelated direction, a program initiated by Braverman--Kazhdan, also around 2000, to generalize the Godement--Jacquet proof of the functional equation to arbitrary $L$-functions, has received renewed attention in recent years. We survey ideas and developments in this direction, as well, and discuss the relationship between the two programs.
