Description
The year 2024 will mark the 30th anniversary of the resolution of Fermat’s Last Theorem, one of the most celebrated applications of the Langlands program. In the three decades since, many seemingly disparate areas of research within the Langlands program have blossomed, some inspired by the ideas introduced in the proof of Fermat, some with a more geometric flavor, made possible in part by the theory of perfectoid spaces, and some with a more representation-theoretic flavor.
The categorical Langlands program is an emerging conceptual framework that encompasses these disparate areas of research: the $p$-adic Langlands program, the geometrization of the local Langlands correspondence, and the cohomology of Shimura varieties in its many incarnations, just to name a few. This workshop brings together architects of the categorical Langlands program in the number field setting as well as emerging experts. The goals are to take stock of the state of the art in the field, and to chart a course for future developments, and to provide mentorship and support to a diverse group of early-career participants.
Due to limited space, in-person attendance at this meeting is by invitation only. However, we welcome applications for virtual participation in the workshop. If you are interested in virtual attendance, please apply at the following link: https://forms.gle/kPz15Cnj8CGKKkJy9.
