Title: Representation Theory and Number Theory (an introduction)
Speaker: Yongqi Feng (Sun Yat-sen University)
Time: 8.11 (Tuesday), 10:00–11:00
Venue: Gewu Building 315
Abstract: We will discuss the role of representation theory in number theory. We focus on a few well-known problems arising from (algebraic) number theory and illustrate their solutions from a representation theoretic viewpoint. Then we turn to a brief introduction to the Local Langlands correspondence.
