Geometric Langlands duality and forms of reductive groups

Publication date 16 November 2008

Abstract: The category of perverse sheaves on the affine Grassmannian of a complex reductive group

G

gives a canonical geometric construction of the split form of the Langlands dual group

over the integers. Given a field

k

, we give a Tannakian construction of the quasi-split forms of

c h e c k G_{k}

, as well as a construction of the gerbe associated to an inner form of

c h e c k G_{k}

.
