Quadratic Reciprocity from Euler to Langlands
Abstract:- The law of quadratic reciprocity was conjectured by Euler and
first proved in full generality by Gauss. I will not prove
quadratic reciprocity but I will discuss it in the context of the
general reciprocity law due to Emil Artin. I will then explain
how Langlands's program is a nonabelian generalization of this.
If there is time, I will indicate how my work fits into this
program.
