In mathematics, the local Langlands conjectures, introduced by Langlands (1967, 1970), are part of the Langlands program. They describe a correspondence between representations of the Weil group of a local field and representations of algebraic groups over the local field, generalizing local class field theory from abelian Galois groups to non-abelian Galois groups.

Famous quotes containing the words local and/or conjectures:
“While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
—Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
“Our conjectures pass upon us for truths; we will know what we do not know, and often, what we cannot know: so mortifying to our pride is the base suspicion of ignorance.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
