 | | During the early 1960s he developed the general theory of Eisenstein series for discrete groups, initiated by Atle Selberg; this, roughly speaking, is the continuous spectrum theory of automorphic forms, for arithmetic groups in semisimple groups. |
 | | Langlands understood that the theory of automorphic representation offers a generalization of class field theory, a central topic in algebraic number theory. |
 | | Using every tool at their disposal, they gave a surprisingly complete theory of automorphic forms on the general linear group GL(2), establishing important cases of functoriality. |
