Local Langlands Conjectures For Other Groups
Borel (1979) and Vogan (1993) discuss the Langlands conjectures for more general groups. As of 2011, the Langlands conjectures for arbitrary reductive groups G are not as precise as the ones for general linear groups, and it is unclear what the correct way of stating them should be. Roughly speaking, admissible representations of a reductive group are grouped into disjoint finite sets called L-packets, which should correspond to some classes of homomorphisms, called L-parameters, from the Weil–Deligne group to the L-group of G.
Langlands (1989) proved the Langlands conjectures for groups over the archimedean local fields R and C by giving the Langlands classification of their irreducible admissible representations (up to infinitesimal equivalence), or, equivalently, of their irreducible -modules.
Gan & Takeda (2011) proved the local Langlands conjectures for the symplectic similitude group GSp(4) and used that in Gan & Takeda (2010) to deduce it for the symplectic group Sp(4).

Famous quotes containing the words local, conjectures and/or groups:
“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“After all, it is putting a very high price on one’s conjectures to have a man roasted alive because of them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
