Title: An introduction to the relative Langlands program & TBA

Speaker: Chen Wan(Rutgers University) & Shuichiro Takeda(Osaka University)

Abstract: In these talks, I will give an overview of the relative Langlands program, with an emphasis on period integrals and local multiplicity. I will start with some basic examples, then I will move to the “classical” setting of spherical varieties. Lastly I will discuss the more general setting of the relative Langlands duality. About half of the talks will be about the local aspect and the other half will be about the global setting. I will give as many specific examples as possible.
