Title: Topics From the MSRI Summer School on Automorphic Forms and the Langlands Program
Abstract: This series of several seminar talks will cover material I learned during my time at the MSRI summer school on automorphic forms and the Langlands program. This will include subject matter taught at the summer school, as well as interesting tangential topics I learned about independently during my time there. By request, I will spend at least the first meeting introducing p-adic numbers, and basic analytic and algebraic results concerning them. I later plan to discuss topics with an aim toward providing an understanding of the broad goals of the Langlands program, where progress currently stands, and how some results are proven.
