Langlands duality conjecture for homomorphisms from finite subgroups of
Langlands duality conjecture for homomorphisms from finite subgroups of
Let be a finite group, and let be a connected compact simple Lie group. Write for the number of homomorphisms from to up to conjugation by . A connected compact simple Lie group is Langlands dual to when its root lattice, weight lattice, and Cartan-torus character lattice are respectively the duals of the weight lattice, root lattice, and character lattice of . Langlands duality conjecture. If is a finite subgroup of and is a Langlands dual pair, then
The conjecture predicts equality of the numbers of conjugacy classes of homomorphisms into Langlands-dual groups, a phenomenon motivated by four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory. The source presents it as a conjecture and mentions that a more refined version and proofs of some concrete cases are available, while asking for a uniform proof in all cases.
