On the Langlands Program

This is a collection of lecture notes from the minicourses in the December 2018 Langlands Workshop: Endoscopy and Beyond. The volume combines seven introductory chapters on trace formulas, local Arthur packets, and beyond endoscopy. It aims to introduce the endoscopy classification via a basic example of the trace formula for SL(2), explore the more refined questions on the structure of Arthur packets, and look beyond endoscopy following the suggestions of Langlands, BravermanKazhdan, Ngo, and Altu. The book is a helpful reference for undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers.

Contents:

• The Invariant Trace Formula for SL(2) (Abhishek Parab)
