Langlands programme
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Forms: form: Langlands program
Etymology: Named after Canadian mathematician Robert Langlands, who proposed it in 1967 (privately) and publicly in 1970.
Senses: examples: text: 2009, Clifton Cunningham, Monica Nevins (editors), Ottawa Lectures on Admissible Representations of Reductive p-adic Groups, American Mathematical Society, Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, page xii,
The Langlands Programme gives the study of representations of p-adic groups context and relevance, without which it almost certainly would not have enjoyed such a rich half-century of research.
As we are reminded in Chapter 4, one should never forget that the study of representations of p-adic groups is inextricably linked with harmonic analysis. The Langlands Programme gives us a beautiful illustration of this fact.
text: 2014, Michael Francis Atiyah, Collected Works, Volume 7: 2002—2013, Oxford University Press (Oxford Science Publications), page 233,
The Langlands programme is a large programme which, if completed, will give a very satisfactory answer to the question of how to extend abelian class field theory to the general case of non-abelian extensions. It is a very big programme, that in many ways has only just started, and in it a fundamental role is played by complex linear representations of the Galois groups of algebraic extensions.
text: Quickly recognised as an imaginative vision, the so-called Langlands programme has been a bountiful source of ideas and might conceivably lead one day to a unified approach to mathematics.

text: With the best possible intentions, it may be, but still with the least possible insight, they speak of the Bible so much more in conformity with their natural notions of what it ought to be than with other men’s observation of what it is, and give themselves up so unenquiringly to mere traditions concerning it rather than to facts, that they are casting unnecessary stumbling-blocks in the way of many of their brethren who, if weaker in faith are stronger in understanding than themselves, and yet are willing to enter upon the conditions of discipleship with hearts as honest and as earnest as any.
