Electric-Magnetic Duality And The Geometric Langlands Program
The geometric Langlands program can be described in a natural way by compactifying on a Riemann surface C a twisted version of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. The key ingredients are electric-magnetic duality of gauge theory, mirror symmetry of sigma-models, branes, Wilson and ’t Hooft operators, and topological field theory. Seemingly esoteric notions of the geometric Langlan...
متن کاملRepresentation theory, geometric Langlands duality and categorification
The representation theory of reductive groups, such as the group GLn of invertible complex matrices, is an important topic, with applications to number theory, algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and quantum topology. One way to study this representation theory is through the geometric Satake correspondence (also known as geometric Langlands duality). This correspondence relates the geome...
متن کاملGauge Theory and the Geometric Langlands Program
The Langlands program of number theory, or what we might call Langlands duality, was proposed in more or less its present form by Robert Langlands, in the late 1960s. It is a kind of unified scheme for many results in number theory ranging from quadratic reciprocity, which is hundreds of years old, to modern results such as Andrew Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s last theorem, which involved a sort of ...
متن کاملGeometric Langlands duality and the equations of Nahm and Bogomolny
This paper is intended as an introduction to the gauge theory approach [15] to the geometric Langlands correspondence. But, rather than a conventional overview, which I have attempted elsewhere [25, 26], the focus here is on understanding a very particular result, which I learned of from [13]. (Another standard reference on closely related matters is [17].) This introduction is devoted to descr...
