The local Langlands conjecture
Olivier Taïbi
TL;DR
The notes formulate the local Langlands conjecture for connected reductive groups over local fields, introducing a conjectural map $\operatorname{LL}$ from irreducible representations to Langlands parameters with finite fibers and extending it through endoscopy to refine $L$-packets. They develop the dual-group framework ${}^L G$, parabolic embeddings, and the Weil-Deligne parametrization, and they analyze reductions to tempered/essentially discrete parameters, the unramified case via Satake, and Weil restriction. A refined theory for quasi-split and non-quasi-split groups is presented, incorporating Kaletha’s gerbe-based inner forms, endoscopic character relations, transfer factors, and the stabilized trace formula perspective. The text also connects the local correspondence to isocrystals and Tannakian formalisms, explaining how gerbes encode inner forms and how the Langlands program interfaces with Shimura varieties and Fargues–Scholze’s geometric perspective. Overall, it lays out a comprehensive, structurally unified program for the local Langlands correspondence across all local fields and inner forms, including the crucial endoscopic and geometric refinements.
Abstract
We formulate the local Langlands conjecture for connected reductive groups over local fields, including the internal parametrization of L-packets using endoscopy.
