Abstract:

According to the conjectural global Langlands correspondence, there should be a bijection between the set of cuspidal automorphic representations of GL(n) and the set of n-dimensional global Galois representations, over any number field, if suitable conditions are imposed on both sets. We report on a recent progress on attaching Galois representations to the cuspidal automorphic representations arising from unitary groups (via base change). Our work is built upon previous work of Kottwitz, Clozel, Harris-Taylor and Taylor-Yoshida. Morel and Clozel-Harris-Labesse have obtained results in a similar direction.
