Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

We discuss recent developments in the Langlands program for function fields, and in the geometric Langlands program. In particular we explain a canonical decomposition of the space of cuspidal automorphic forms for any reductive group G…

We provide an introduction to the theory of Eisenstein series and automorphic forms on real simple Lie groups G, emphasising the role of representation theory. It is useful to take a slightly wider view and define all objects over the…

For a connected reductive group $G$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and equipped with the induced Frobenius endomorphism $F$, we study the relation among the following three $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras: (i) the $\mathbb{Z}$-model $\mathsf{E}_G$ of…

The Langlands Program was launched in the late 60s with the goal of relating Galois representations and automorphic forms. In recent years a geometric version has been developed which leads to a mysterious duality between certain categories…

We prove that a strengthened form of the local Langlands conjecture is valid throughout the principal series of any connected split reductive $p$-adic group. The method of proof is to establish the presence of a very simple geometric…

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…

Perception research provides strong evidence in favor of part based representation of shapes in human visual system. Despite considerable differences among different theories in terms of how part boundaries are found, there is substantial…

The theory of intertwining operators plays an important role in the development of the Langlands program. This, in some sense, is a very sophisticated theory, but the basic question of its singularity, in general, is quite unknown.…

This expository article is an expanded version of talks given at the "Current Developments in Mathematics, 2002" conference. It gives an introduction to the (generalized) conjecture of Rapoport and Goresky-MacPherson which identifies the…

The goal of this paper is to generalize a theorem of Fujiwara (formerly Deligne's conjecture) to the situation appearing in a joint work [KV] with David Kazhdan on the global Langlands correspondence over function fields. Moreover, our…

This article addresses the problem of existence of local factors, i.e., the root numbers and L-functions attached to representations of reductive groups over local fields and irreducible finite dimensional representations of their L-groups,…

In this article we explore the interplay between two generalizations of the Whittaker model, namely the Klyachko models and the degenerate Whittaker models, and two functorial constructions, namely base change and automorphic induction, for…

Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

We show how the modular representation theory of inner forms of general linear groups over a non-Archimedean local field can be brought to bear on the complex theory in a remarkable way. Let F be a non-Archimedean locally compact field of…

Motivated by Felix Klein's notion that geometry is governed by its group of symmetry transformations, Charles Ehresmann initiated the study of geometric structures on topological spaces locally modeled on a homogeneous space of a Lie group.…

Given a quasi-split reductive group $G$ and a symmetric variety $X$, we introduce a notion of endoscopic varieties for $(G,X)$, and establish the foundational properties of these varieties such as matching of stable semi-simple orbits. To…

The global Langlands conjecture for $\text{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$ predicts a correspondence between certain algebraic automorphic representations $\pi$ of $\text{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_F)$ and certain families $\{ \rho_{\pi,\ell} \}_\ell$…

In this two-part series of articles, we present a new proof comparing the trace formula for a general linear group with that of one of its inner forms. Our methodology relies on the trace formula for Lie algebras, incorporating the notion…

We establish endoscopic and stable trace formulas whose discrete spectral terms are weighted by automorphic $L$-functions, by the use of basic functions that are incorporated into the global spectral and geometric coefficients. This is a…
