Abstract
- Mathematicians have published a 1000-page proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, a key component of the Langlands program. The Langlands program proposes deep connections between different areas of mathematics. While the proof is considered a significant achievement, it is extremely complex and difficult to understand, even for mathematicians. The proof could have implications for both mathematics and physics, but further work is needed to help others understand it and to make progress on the original Langlands program.
