Description
Book SynopsisProviding instances of the local Langlands conjecture, this book aims to prove the local Langlands conjecture for GLn over a p-adic field and, to identify the action of the decomposition group at a prime of bad reduction on the l-adic cohomology of the "simple" Shimura varieties.
Trade Review"...clearly and carefully written. In sum, it represents an awe-inspiring achievement and is a model of good exposition."--Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Volume 40, Number 2
