There has been quite a lot of recent work in additive combinatorics seeking to develop our understanding of the 'higher Fourier analysis' suggested by the work of Gowers on Szemeredi's theorem and the work of various ergodic theorists (Host, Kra...

Geometric Langlands Duality

Whittaker Patterns in Global Unramified and Local Tamely Ramified Theories

Roman Bezrukavnikov

10:00am|S-101

I will discuss some aspects of the proof of (most of) the unramified geometric Langlands duality conjecture for GL(n) by Gaitsgory (based on his work with Frenkel, Vilonen etc), and also the work in the direction of local tamely ramified duality.
