We incorporate covers of quasisplit reductive groups into the Langlands program, defining an L-group associated to such a cover. We work with all covers that arise from extensions of quasisplit reductive groups by $\mathbf{K}_2$ -- the…

In one article, the author has defined an L-group associated to a cover of a quasisplit reductive group over a local or global field. In another article, Wee Teck Gan and Fan Gao define (following an unpublished letter of the author) an…

For a quasi-split connected reductive group $G$ over a local field $F$ we define a compact abelian group $\tilde\pi_1(G)$ and an extension $1 \to \tilde\pi_1(G) \to G(F)_\infty \to G(F) \to 1$ of topological groups equipped with a splitting…

We describe an evolving and conjectural extension of the Langlands program for a class of nonlinear covering groups of algebraic origin studied by Brylinski-Deligne. In particular, we describe the construction of an L-group extension of…

Given a quasi-split connected reductive $\mathbb{R}$-group $G$ and a finite group $A$ acting on $G$ by $\mathbb{R}$-automorphisms that preserve an $\mathbb{R}$-pinning, we construct for each discrete $L$-parameter for $G$ a corresponding…

The l-adic parabolic cohomology groups attached to noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) are finite-dimensional representations of Gal(Qbar/F) for some number field F. We exhibit examples (with F=Q) giving rise to Galois representations whose…

Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…

By a quasi-connected reductive group (a term of Labesse) over an arbitrary field we mean an almost direct product of a connected semisimple group and a quasi-torus (a smooth group of multiplicative type). We show that a linear algebraic…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean locally compact field. We study a class of Langlands-Shahidi pairs $({\bf H},{\bf L})$, consisting of a quasi-split connected reductive group $\bf H$ over $F$ and a Levi subgroup $\bf L$ which is closely related…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field and $G={\bf{G}}(F)$ the group of $F$-rational points of a connected reductive $F$-group. Then we have the Langlands classification of complex irreducible admissible representations $\pi$ of $G$ in…

A brief survey is given of the classical Langlands correspondence between n-dimensional representations of Galois groups of local and global fields of dimension 1 and irreducible representations of the groups GL(n). A generalization of the…

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension whose Galois group $G$ is non-abelian and characteristically simple. Using tools from graph theory, we shall give a closed formula for the number of Hopf-Galois structures on $L/K$ with associated…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field with residue characteristic p. Let l be a prime number different from p. Let G be a connected reductive group which is split, semi-simple, and simply connected. On the one hand, we describe the…

In this joint introduction to an Asterisque volume, we give a short discussion of the historical developments in the study of nonlinear covering groups, touching on their structure theory, representation theory and the theory of automorphic…

Let K be a number field. For any system of semisimple mod l Galois representations {\phi_l:Gal_K->GL_N(F_l)} arising from \'etale cohomology, there exists a finite normal extension L of K such that if we denote \phi_l(Gal_K) and…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

Given a reductive group scheme $G$, we give a linear algebraic description of reduced \'etale $4$-cocycles on its classifying stack $\mathrm B(G)$. These cocycles form a $2$-groupoid, which we interpret as parameters of metaplectic covers…

To a torus T over a local field F and a subset of its character module subject to certain properties, we associate a canonical double cover of the topological group T(F). We further associate an L-group to this double cover and establish a…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a finite ramified Galois covering of algebraic varieties defined over the complex numbers. In this paper, we prove some structure theorems for such coverings in the case that the non-abelian Galois group of the cover is…

We define a new cohomology set for an affine algebraic group G and a multiplicative finite central subgroup Z, both defined over a local field of characteristic zero, which is an enlargement of the usual first Galois cohomology set of G. We…
