Endoscopic Group
In mathematics, endoscopic groups of reductive algebraic groups were introduced by in his work on the stable trace formula. Roughly speaking, an endoscopic group ''H'' of ''G'' is a quasi-split group whose L-group is the connected component of the centralizer of a semisimple element of the L-group of ''G''. In the stable trace formula, unstable orbital integral In mathematics, an orbital integral is an integral transform that generalizes the spherical mean operator to homogeneous spaces.

The relation between them is given by the fundamental lemma.

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Reductive Algebraic Group
In mathematics, a reductive group is a type of linear algebraic group over a field. One definition is that a connected linear algebraic group ''G'' over a perfect field is reductive if it has a representation with finite kernel which is a direct sum of irreducible representations. Reductive groups include some of the most important groups in mathematics, such as the general linear group ''GL''(''n'') of invertible matrices, the special orthogonal group ''SO''(''n''), and the symplectic group ''Sp''(2''n''). Simple algebraic groups and (more generally) semisimple algebraic groups are reductive. Claude Chevalley showed that the classification of reductive groups is the same over any algebraically closed field. In particular, the simple algebraic groups are classified by Dynkin diagrams, as in the theory of compact Lie groups or complex semisimple Lie algebras. Reductive groups over an arbitrary field are harder to classify, but for many fields such as the real numbers R or a nu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stable Trace Formula
A stable is a building in which livestock, especially horses, are kept. It most commonly means a building that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals and livestock. There are many different types of stables in use today; the American-style barn, for instance, is a large barn with a door at each end and individual stalls inside or free-standing stables with top and bottom-opening doors. The term "stable" is also used to describe a group of animals kept by one owner, regardless of housing or location. The exterior design of a stable can vary widely, based on climate, building materials, historical period and cultural styles of architecture. A wide range of building materials can be used, including masonry (bricks or stone), wood and steel. Stables also range widely in size, from a small building housing one or two animals to facilities at agricultural shows or race tracks that can house hundreds of animals. History The stable is typically historically the se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quasi-split Group
In mathematics, a quasi-split group over a field is a reductive group with a Borel subgroup defined over the field. Simply connected quasi-split groups over a field correspond to actions of the absolute Galois group on a Dynkin diagram. Examples All split groups (those with a split maximal torus) are quasi-split. These correspond to quasi-split groups where the action of the Galois group on the Dynkin diagram is trivial. showed that all simple algebraic groups over finite fields are quasi-split. Over the real numbers, the quasi-split groups include the split groups and the complex groups, together with the orthogonal groups ''O''''n'',''n''+2, the unitary groups ''SU''''n'',''n'' and ''SU''''n'',''n''+1, and the form of ''E''6 with signature 2.

Langlands Dual
In representation theory, a branch of mathematics, the Langlands dual ''L''''G'' of a reductive algebraic group ''G'' (also called the ''L''-group of ''G'') is a group that controls the representation theory of ''G''. If ''G'' is defined over a field ''k'', then ''L''''G'' is an extension of the absolute Galois group of ''k'' by a complex Lie group. There is also a variation called the Weil form of the ''L''-group, where the Galois group is replaced by a Weil group. Here, the letter ''L'' in the name also indicates the connection with the theory of L-functions, particularly the ''automorphic'' L-functions. The Langlands dual was introduced by in a letter to A. Weil. The ''L''-group is used heavily in the Langlands conjectures of Robert Langlands. It is used to make precise statements from ideas that automorphic forms are in a sense functorial in the group ''G'', when ''k'' is a global field. It is not exactly ''G'' with respect to which automorphic forms and representations are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Orbital Integral
In mathematics, an orbital integral is an integral transform that generalizes the spherical mean operator to homogeneous spaces. Instead of integrating over spheres, one integrates over generalized spheres: for a homogeneous space ''X'' = ''G''/''H'', a generalized sphere centered at a point ''x''0 is an orbit of the isotropy group of ''x''0. Definition The model case for orbital integrals is a Riemannian symmetric space ''G''/''K'', where ''G'' is a Lie group and ''K'' is a symmetric compact subgroup. Generalized spheres are then actual geodesic spheres and the spherical averaging operator is defined as :M^rf(x) = \int_K f(gk\cdot y)\,dk, where * the dot denotes the action of the group ''G'' on the homogeneous space ''X'' * ''g'' ∈ ''G'' is a group element such that ''x'' = ''g''·''o'' * ''y'' ∈ ''X'' is an arbitrary element of the geodesic sphere of radius ''r'' centered at ''x'': ''d''(''x'',''y'') = ''r'' * ...

Fundamental Lemma (Langlands Program)
In the mathematical theory of automorphic forms, the fundamental lemma relates orbital integrals on a reductive group over a local field to stable orbital integrals on its endoscopic groups. It was conjectured by in the course of developing the Langlands program. The fundamental lemma was proved by Gérard Laumon and Ngô Bảo Châu in the case of unitary groups and then by for general reductive groups, building on a series of important reductions made by Jean-Loup Waldspurger to the case of Lie algebras. ''Time'' magazine placed Ngô's proof on the list of the "Top 10 scientific discoveries of 2009". In 2010, Ngô was awarded the Fields Medal for this proof. Motivation and history Langlands outlined a strategy for proving local and global Langlands conjectures using the Arthur–Selberg trace formula, but in order for this approach to work, the geometric sides of the trace formula for different groups must be related in a particular way. This relationship takes the form ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs. The society is one of the four parts of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics and a member of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. History The AMS was founded in 1888 as the New York Mathematical Society, the brainchild of Thomas Fiske, who was impressed by the London Mathematical Society on a visit to England. John Howard Van Amringe was the first president and Fiske became secretary. The society soon decided to publish a journal, but ran into some resistance, due to concerns about competing with the American Journal of Mathematics. The result was the ''Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society'', with Fiske as editor-in-chief. The de facto journal, as intended, was influential in in ...

Mathematische Annalen
''Mathematische Annalen'' (abbreviated as ''Math. Ann.'' or, formerly, ''Math. Annal.'') is a German mathematical research journal founded in 1868 by Alfred Clebsch and Carl Neumann. Subsequent managing editors were Felix Klein, David Hilbert, Otto Blumenthal, Erich Hecke, Heinrich Behnke, Hans Grauert, Heinz Bauer, Herbert Amann, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, Wolfgang Lück, and Nigel Hitchin. Currently, the managing editor of Mathematische Annalen is Thomas Schick. Volumes 1–80 (1869–1919) were published by Teubner. Since 1920 (vol. 81), the journal has been published by Springer. In the late 1920s, under the editorship of Hilbert, the journal became embroiled in controversy over the participation of L. E. J. Brouwer on its editorial board, a spillover from the foundational Brouwer–Hilbert controversy. Between 1945 and 1947 the journal briefly ceased publication.

Automorphic Forms
In harmonic analysis and number theory, an automorphic form is a well-behaved function from a topological group ''G'' to the complex numbers (or complex vector space) which is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup \Gamma \subset G of the topological group. Automorphic forms are a generalization of the idea of periodic functions in Euclidean space to general topological groups. Modular forms are holomorphic automorphic forms defined over the groups SL(2, R) or PSL(2, R) with the discrete subgroup being the modular group, or one of its congruence subgroups; in this sense the theory of automorphic forms is an extension of the theory of modular forms. More generally, one can use the adelic approach as a way of dealing with the whole family of congruence subgroups at once. From this point of view, an automorphic form over the group ''G''(A''F''), for an algebraic group ''G'' and an algebraic number field ''F'', is a complex-valued function on ''G''(A''F'') that is left ...
