Preface

The theory of automorphic representations of the group G.A/ of the adèle points of a reductive connected group G over a global field F, and that of admissible representations of the group G.Fv / of points of a reductive connected group G over a local field Fv , are governed by a hypothetical reciprocity law, introduced by Langlands, that relates them to representations of a variant of the Galois group of the base field, named Weil or Weil-Deligne group, into the complex Langlands dual group L G of G. This “principle of functoriality”—not touched upon in the present tome— suggests relations between such automorphic and admissible representations of different groups G. These relations have been termed liftings, correspondences, transfers, and are suggested by relations amongst the underlying dual groups. For example, establishing lifting from GL.2/ to GL.n C 1/ corresponding to the irreducible n-dimensional representation Symn from the dual group GL.2; C/ to GL.n C 1; C/ would imply the Ramanujan conjecture for GL.2/. Some of these liftings, which are analytic implications of the principle, have been established by various techniques, using various invariants of the representations. The work of Jacquet-Langlands [JL70] showed that the Selberg trace formula [Se62] could
