Archimedean \(L\)-factors and topological field theories. II. (Q412793): Difference between revisions

The paper under review is a sequel to [\textit{A. Gerasimov}, \textit{D. Lebedev}, and \textit{S. Oblezin}, Commun. Number Theory Phys. 5, No. 1, 57--100 (2011; Zbl 1251.14011)]. The main result of the previous paper was an analytic formula for local Archimedean \(L\)--factors as products of \(\Gamma\)--functions. This paper reveals a mirror duality between, first, the functional integral representation for local Archimedean \(L\)--factors from which the above formula is derived, and second, another functional integral representation for local Archimedean \(L\)--factors which reduces to a product of classical Euler integral representations of \(\Gamma\)--functions. This mirror symmetry looks similar to the local Archimedean Langlands correspondence between ``arithmetic'' and ``automorphic'' constructions of \(L\)--functions. This similarity suggests that local Archimedean Langlands correspondence might follow from mirror symmetry in much the same way that global geometric Langlands correspondence follows from mirror symmetry [\textit{A Kapustin} and \textit{E. Witten}, Commun. Number Theory Phys. 1, No. 1, 1--236 (2007; Zbl 1128.22013)].
