Does the L-function of an algebraic curve over Q satisfy a functional equation?
Abstract:
In this talk, I will propose a refinement of the Langlands correspondence in the case of curves, or more generally symplectic Galois representations. Langlands conjectures that to such a representation one can attach a generic automorphic representation of an odd orthogonal group. I will show that every such representation has a distinguished line. The hope is that the properties of the resulting new form will make it easier to test the general conjecture computationally.
