Courses


"p-adic fields" by Vincent Sécherre.

This first course will be an introduction to p-adic numbers and p-adic fields.
We will study the structure of these fields and their finite extensions, and will see how they appear naturally in number theory.


"Local class field theory" by Vincent Sécherre.

Local class field theory gives a way of classifying the abelian extensions of a given p-adic field contained in a given algebraic closure. It can be considered
as the achievement of the local Langlands program for the group GL(1), for it gives a relationship between the group GL(1,F), for F a p-adic field, and the
absolute Galois group of F. We will explain how this relationship can be described, and will construct algebraic elements over F which generate the
various abelian extensions of F.


"Introduction to p-adic reductive groups and their representations (I and II)" by Shaun Stevens.

These talks will introduce the basic notions of reductive groups over a p-adic field (root datum, parabolic subgroup, complex dual group etc.), concentrating on examples to illustrate the notions. This will be followed by an introduction to the theory of smooth representations of these groups (parabolic induction, cuspidality, etc.).

"Unramified representations of a p-adic reductive group" by Vincent Sécherre.

An irreducible smooth representation of a p-adic reductive group G is said to be K-unramified if it has non-zero vectors which are invariants by a given maximal compact open subgroup K of G. We will see how the K-unramified representations of G can be classified, up to isomorphism, by unordered finite families of non-zero complex numbers and how this provides an example of the Langlands functoriality.

 

"An introduction to adeles and global class field theory" by Jose María Tornero.

"The passage from local to global class field theory is reflected in a topological (but also algebraic) object: the ring A_K of adeles of a field and its most interesting subgroup of units, the group I_K of ideles. We will give a quick glimpse of these objects, seeing how they arise naturally in the local-global setup."

 

"Automorphic forms on GL(2) (I, II and III)" by Pierre-Henri Chaudouard.

This course is an introduction to automorphic forms on GL(2). First we will review classical modular forms on Poincaré half-plane. Then we will introduce
automorphic forms and we will sketch proofs of many basic facts about them. We will make the link with local representation theory.


"Introduction to L-functions (I and II)" by Wee Teck Gan.

An L-function is a meromorphic function which is attached to a representation of a p-adic or real reductive Lie group in the local setting, and a modular form or
automorphic representation in the global setting. In the first lecture, I will describe the theory of L-functions for GL(1), in the adelic framework  given to it by Tate. In the second lecture, I will discuss certain higher dimensional extensions, i.e. to GL(n), such as the theory of Godemont-Jacquet,  the theory of Rankin-Selberg integrals, due to Jacquet-Piatetski-Shapiro and Shalika and the Langlands-Shahidi theory.

PART II



"An Introduction to Functoriality (I and II)" by Jim Cogdell.

In these two talks we will give an introduction to Langlands' Principle of Functoriality. The first talk will be devoted to GL(n). We will describe the formulation of the Langlands Correspondence for GL(n) and some of the ideas in the proofs of the local and global correspondences. The second lecture will be devoted to the more general Principle of Functoriality. We will describe Langlands' definition of the L-group, how it is used to formulate the Functoriality Principle, both local and global, and  then describe the cases where we understand Functoriality and some of the techniques used.

 

"The mod. l Langlands correspondence for p-adic GL(n), p not l (I and II)", by Guy Henniart.

Let p and l be distinct prime numbers. Let F be a finite extension of Q_p, F ^{\bar} an algebraic closure of F, G_F the Galois group of F ^{\bar} over F. The Langlands correspondence for complex smooth irreducible representations of GL(n,F), which relates them to complex representations of G_F of dimension n, also makes sense for representations in Q_l ^{\bar} vector spaces. With a suitable and natural normalization, it relates Q_l ^{\bar}-representations of L(n,F) with an invariant Z_l ^{\bar} lattice to Galois representations with the same properties. The goal of the lectures will be to explain the result of Vignéras, which says that two cuspidal representations of GL(n,F), with an invariant lattice, which have isomorphic reductions mod.l, correspond to Galois representations with isomorphic reductions mod.l. In this way we get a natural Langlands correpondence mod.l.

 

"Number fields with prescribed ramification and selfdual automorphic representations of GL(2n)" by Gaëtan Chenevier.

Abstract : "Let S be a finite set of primes, Q_S a maximal algebraic extension of Q unramified outside S (and infinity), and p a prime in S.
If S contains at least two primes, I will show that the field embeddings Q_S ---> Q_p^{bar} have a dense image, or which is the same, that the natural maps (decomposition groups at p)

       Gal(Q_p^{bar}/Q_p) ---> Gal(Q_S/Q)

are injective. Some ingredients of the proof : l-adic cohomology of unitary Shimura varieties, local and global Langlands correspondence, construction of selfdual automorphic representations of GL(2n) with prescribed properties. This is a joint work with Laurent Clozel."

 

Some geometrico-cohomological methods in the local Langlands program by Jean-François Dat.

We will essentially be concerned with two topics. The first one could be named "buildings and their applications to representation theory". The second one, more advanced, "moduli spaces, etale cohomology, and Langlands correspondences". The aim will be rather to try and explain the ideas underlying these approaches than to give a formal treatment. Time permitting, we may also evoke the complex-geometric approach to the classification of simple modules
of affine Hecke algebras.


"Introduction to the p-adic Langlands program" by Benjamin Schraën.

In this course, we will give a overview of recent developments of the mod p and p-adic correspondences, essentially for GL_2(Qp), coming form Breuil, Berger, Colmez, Emerton, Paskunas...
