Jul 25, 2024

Lecture Notes: Special Occasion Presentation

Introduction

  • This talk marks a special occasion.
  • Reflecting on the first talk given ten years ago.
  • Acknowledgment of Bob's 70th birthday and Alpha L group anniversary.

Context and Research Focus

  • Research Interest: Lambdas from Tory attic and conductors.
  • Investigating a way to transfer automatic representations in relation to dual groups.

Key Concepts

Endoscopic Cases

  • Important case in the study: endoscopic representations where LH is the centralizer.
  • Contributions over 40 years from various researchers using:
    • Trace formula
    • Fundamental lemma

Langlands' Approach

  • Introduction of a new approach beyond endoscopy: using stable trace formula to study oscillations in automatic spectrum.
  • Emphasis on understanding the automatic spectrum contributed by smaller groups.

Automatic Functions

  • Early contributions to automatic functions based on Langlands’ papers.
  • Construction of general morphic functions with finite representation at the L group.
  • Goal: Prove meromorphic continuation and functional equations similar to well-understood cases.
  • Discussion on convergence of automatic forms, particularly focusing on properties linked to classical L functions.

Broader Theoretical Frameworks

  • Reference to Brothman and Cashdan’s case in discovering properties of L functions.
  • Description of the local case for GL(n) and properties of matrix spaces.

Short Space and Fully Transforms

  • Introduction of short spaces in broader contexts and definitions of fully transforms.
  • Highlighting the role of gamma factors and their independence from specific functions but related to the representations.

Singularities and Reductive Groups

  • Analysis of singularities in relation to subspaces and how they behave under group actions.
  • Relating the discussion to traditional theories of reductive groups and the normal structure.
  • Description of toric varieties through affine algebraic varieties and their correspondence through cones.

Proposals for Future Work

  • Exploration of how M row (spaces of functions) can be defined more broadly in terms of functions with compact support.
  • Suggestions for constructing a canonical resolution of singularities in the context of M row.

Conclusion

  • Reflection on how all these theoretical frameworks connect through the concepts presented in this talk.
  • Future discussions and deeper exploration of these themes.
