Title: An introduction to the local Langlands correspondence
Time, day and date: 4:00:00 PM, Monday, January 20
Venue: Ramanujan Hall

Abstracts:
The local Langlands correspondence conjectures links between two seemingly unrelated areas of mathematics: the Galois theory of local fields and the theory of complex Lie groups. In this talk, we'll use examples to introduce some of the objects of interest from both number theory and geometry. We'll then use these examples to illuminate some of the beautiful interactions between these different areas.
