Langlands then generalized these to automorphic cuspidal representations, which are certain infinite dimensional irreducible representations of the general linear group over the adele ring of Q.
Langlands attached L-functions to these automorphic representations, and conjectured that every L-function arising from finite-dimensional representations of the Galois group is equal to one arising from an automorphic cuspidal representation.
Langlands then formulated a much more general "Functoriality Principle", which relates automorphic representations of different groups (not just the general linear group) over the adele ring of Q, in a way which is compatible with their L-functions.

Robert Langlands (born 1936 in Canada) is one of the most significant mathematicians of the 20th century, with profound insights in number theory and representation theory.
Langlands is the author of the Langlands program, a deep web of conjectures connecting number theory and representation theory.
Langlands understood that the theory of automorphic forms gives a generalization of class field theory, a central topic in algebraic number theory.

 Unifying theories in mathematics - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
In fact the Langlands philosophy is much more like a web of unifying conjectures; it really does postulate that the general theory of automorphic forms is regulated by the L-groups introduced by Robert Langlands.
Another significant related point is that the Langlands approach stands apart from the whole development triggered by monstrous moonshine (connections between elliptic modular functions as Fourier series, and the group representations of the Monster group and other sporadic groups).
The Langlands philosophy neither foreshadowed nor was able to include this line of research.

Langlands showed how (in generality, many cases being known) the Riemann-Roch theorem could be applied to the calculation of dimensions of automorphic forms; this is a kind of post hoc check on the validity of the notion.
One way to express the shift in emphasis is that the Hecke operators are here in effect put on the same level as the Casimir operators; which is natural from the point of view of functional analysis, though not so obviously for the number theory.
It is this concept that is basic to the formulation of the Langlands philosophy.

 EPSRC Web Site - Grants on the Web
In the 1970s, Langlands outlined a profound series of conjectures and ideas which have since become known as "the Langlands philosophy".
Langlands' conjectures related representations of Galois groups and related groups to automorphic forms, objects which are typically defined analytically.
Langlands' conjectures explain many phenomena in this area, but they do not seem to shed too much light on the "extra" p-adic objects that may show up in this more algebraic setting (for example, modular forms of non-integral weight studied by Katz and Hida).

One way to construct them is via induction from compact open subgroups, and this has led to the philosophy of studying admissible representations of a reductive group by restricting them to appropriate compact open subgroups.
Bushnell and Kutzko have applied this philosophy with great success to the general or special linear groups; this has led them to formalize it via the very general notion of S-types.

This is however very different from the relation to be investigated in this article: Whereas localization leads to geometry on the group itself (or its flag manifold), the results of Adams-Barbasch-Vogan to be extended in this article lead to geometry on the Langlands dual group.

There are a lot of more detailed sources of information on the Langlands program, but the problem for the beginner (me) is that the overall goal gets swamped in a mass of technicalities.
First of all, it should be remarked that according to the Tannakian philosophy, one can reconstruct a group from the category of its finite-dimensional representations, equipped with the structure of the tensor product.
More precisely, one asks that under the Langlands correspondence certain natural invariants attached to the Galois representations and to the automorphic representations be matched.

This regularity, at first blush so simple, is the germ of one of the major branches of the higher number theory and was the central theme of the development that began with Euler and Legendre in the eighteenth century, and continued down to our own time, with contributions by Gauss, Kummer, Takagi, and Artin.
Garling brought up the case of three-dimensional topology, a subject to which Poincaré himself made very significant contributions, posing one of the central conjectures of the field that a three-dimensional manifold homotopic to the 3-sphere is homeomorphic to it.

Therefore the Artin conjecture is concerned with zeroes of L-functions, just as the Riemann hypothesis family of conjectures is. It is believed that it would follow from strong enoughresults from the Langlands philosophy, relating to theL-functions associated to automorphicrepresentations for GL(n) for all n ≥ 1.
In fact this is afolk-theorem; it certainly represents one of the major motivations for the generality present in Langlands' work.
The second Artin conjecture relates to the density of the set of primes p modulo which a given integer a > 1 is a primitive root, when a is not a perfectsquare.

Abstract: The "Langlands Program" started out as a grand conjectural generalization of Artin reciprocity to non-Abelian Galois extensions of number fields.

The study of L-functions of algebraic varieties is a central domain of investigation in this area, with specific problems arising from Iwasawa theory and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer and Bloch-Kato conjectures.
This theme is unified by the so-called "Langlands philosophy''.
Some of its essential goals are: to investigate automorphic forms and representations, and in particular the L-functions attached to these objects; to carry out Langlands' program of functoriality relating representations of different groups; and to establish correspondences between automorphic and Galois representations.

 Another proof for Fermat's last theorem
In fact it, as well as the conjecture by Serre, are ingredients of a wider program to unify various areas of mathematics, known as Langlands philosophy.
The idea behind such unifying theories is that it should be possible to directly translate every concept in a given area of maths into all the other areas of maths.
The Langlands philosophy was conceived by the mathematician Robert Langland in the 1960's and consists of a set of conjectures concerning the intimate relationship between number theory, geometry and algebra.
