Global Langlands Functoriality Conjecture

Definitions and mathematical statement

For a number field $F$, ${\mathbb{A}}_F$ is its ring of adeles. A quasisplit connected reductive group has a Borel subgroup over $F$; its $L$-group incorporates its complex dual group and the Galois action. At an unramified place $v$, the Satake parameter $c(\pi_v)$ is a semisimple conjugacy class in the local $L$-group. For an admissible homomorphism $\rho:{}^LG'\to{}^LG$ over the Galois group, the required weak transfer is \[ \forall\pi'\in\operatorname{Aut}(G'),\quad \exists\pi\in\operatorname{Aut}(G),\ \exists S\text{ finite},\quad c(\pi_v)=\rho_v\left(c(\pi'_v)\right)\quad(v\notin S). \] Here $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$ denotes automorphic representations in Arthur's inclusive convention, not automorphisms of $G$. The source convention, including admissibility, is retained; no cuspidality of the transfer or uniqueness is imposed.

Formulation and concept references: [S1].

Short English statement

Does every allowed map of Langlands $L$-groups produce an automorphic transfer matching the local arithmetic data almost everywhere?

Research attempt

Current frontier.
Research check: 27 September 2026. Arthur's Principle 1.1 uses the inclusive automorphic convention, not only the discrete or cuspidal spectrum. Its reference to Langlands's 1979 paper is substantive: Lemma 1 and Proposition 2 identify global constituents of parabolic induction from cuspidal data as automorphic representations. These statements were inspected before using that convention here. [S1], [E1]. Established functoriality includes major classical-group transfers and, for regular algebraic non-CM cuspidal representations of $\operatorname{GL}_2({\mathbb{A}}_{{\mathbb{Q}}})$, all symmetric powers by Newton--Thorne, Theorem A. The latter is not a theorem for all number fields and all admissible maps. Arthur's trace-formula discussion and the 2026 Duke course outline do not supply such a general theorem. [S1], [S2], [S3], [E2].
Attack route.
A trace-formula comparison needs a global spectral identity isolating transferred data. A converse-theorem approach needs the appropriate analytic properties of sufficiently many twisted $L$-functions. A third route embeds the target dual group in a general linear group, constructs the composite transfer, and descends it. We first check the construction in a case where automorphy can actually be supplied, then stress-test the descent route. None of these approaches may assume an already constructed universal Langlands group.
Attempt: monomial transfers and an induced subcase.
Let the source be the split torus $T'=(\mathbf G_m)^r$ over an arbitrary number field $F$. Its automorphic representations are tuples of idele-class quasicharacters $\chi_1,\ldots,\chi_r$. First take a split torus target $T=(\mathbf G_m)^s$ and a dual-torus map given by an integer matrix $B=(b_{ji})$: \[ \rho(z_1,\ldots,z_r)_j=\prod_{i=1}^r z_i^{b_{ji}}. \tag{7.1} \] Here the $L$-map acts as the identity on the Galois factor and has no additional Galois cocycle. Define $\psi_j=\prod_i\chi_i^{b_{ji}}$. Negative exponents cause no problem because quasicharacters are nonvanishing. Each $\psi_j$ is trivial on $F^\times$, is continuous, and has the same automorphic smoothness and moderate-growth properties as a finite product of such characters. Outside the union of their ramification sets, \[ \psi_{j,v}(\varpi_v)=\prod_i\chi_{i,v}(\varpi_v)^{b_{ji}}, \tag{7.2} \] which is precisely the desired equality of torus Satake parameters. This is an explicit construction in a solved subcase, not a new general transfer theorem.

Now take target $\operatorname{GL}_s$ and let the restriction of $\rho$ to the complex dual torus be any algebraic $s$-dimensional representation, still with the trivial cocycle convention. A representation of a complex torus decomposes into weight spaces, so, after conjugation, its diagonal weights are $7.1$. Put the resulting $\psi_j$ on the diagonal Levi of the upper-triangular Borel and form normalized parabolic induction. At an unramified finite place select its spherical irreducible constituent; at the finitely many remaining places select an irreducible constituent. The restricted tensor product is automorphic by Langlands's Lemma 1 and Proposition 2. Its unramified Satake class is \[ \left[\operatorname{diag} \left(\psi_{1,v}(\varpi_v),\ldots,\psi_{s,v}(\varpi_v)\right)\right]. \tag{7.3} \] Thus it has the required weak transfer. [E1]. The normalization is essential: normalized induction uses the square root of the Borel modulus. Switching induction conventions absorbs this factor in the inducing torus character; the product formula makes that modulus character trivial on the rational torus. One must not instead insert unwanted powers of the residue cardinality into $7.3$. The construction is allowed to be noncuspidal or a subquotient, exactly as the recorded target permits. Requiring a cuspidal lift would make this argument inappropriate.

Attempt: composition is valid, but descent is additional.
Suppose weak transfer is known for admissible maps ${}^LG_0\xrightarrow{\alpha}{}^LG_1\xrightarrow{\beta}{}^LG_2$. Given $\pi_0$, choose a transfer $\pi_1$, then a transfer $\pi_2$. Outside the union of their two finite exceptional sets, \[ c(\pi_{2,v})=\beta_v(c(\pi_{1,v})) =\beta_v\alpha_v(c(\pi_{0,v})). \tag{7.4} \] This proves transfer for the composite without any uniqueness assumption. For torus maps it agrees with multiplication of the integer exponent matrices. An attempted factorization of a general admissible map into known cases would therefore be legitimate, but no such factorization is produced here.

Conversely, suppose an admissible map $r:{}^LG\to{}^L\operatorname{GL}_N$ has been chosen and a transfer for $r\rho$ constructed. Obtaining a representation $\Pi$ whose Satake classes equal $r\rho(c(\pi'_v))$ is not yet an automorphic representation of $G$. The missing assertion must descend this global $\Pi$ to an automorphic representation of $G$ with the prescribed classes $\rho(c(\pi'_v))$, not merely produce some classes with the same images. It includes both a global existence issue and a conjugacy issue.

The conjugacy issue already occurs for a faithful embedding of a torus: \[ r:{\mathbb{C}}^\times\hookrightarrow\operatorname{GL}_2({\mathbb{C}}),\quad r(t)=\begin{pmatrix}t&0\\0&t^{-1}\end{pmatrix},\qquad P=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}. \tag{7.5} \] We have $Pr(t)P^{-1}=r(t^{-1})$. For $t=2$, the two source elements are not conjugate in the abelian source, although their images are conjugate in the target. Thus faithfulness of $r$ does not imply injectivity on semisimple conjugacy classes. Even perfectly matching all characteristic polynomials after this embedding may lose required local information. This does not obstruct the explicit torus construction above; it refutes only a shortcut that tries to reconstruct that construction from the larger group's conjugacy classes alone.

Stress test.
The induced subcase uses an established automorphy theorem; merely forming a restricted tensor product of arbitrary local representations would not supply it. The general descent argument has no replacement for that theorem. Strong multiplicity-one reasoning, where available, can compare representations already known to exist; it cannot create the missing automorphic representation of $G$. Likewise, equality of formal Euler products is not an automorphy theorem.

The tensor product $7.3$ need not lie in the cuspidal or discrete $L^2$ spectrum. This is not a defect for the source's inclusive formulation, but it would be a defect for a silently strengthened version. The proof has addressed only split torus sources and the specified untwisted maps; nonsplit groups, nontrivial Galois cocycles and nonabelian source representations are not covered. No ramified local prescription, uniqueness, or cuspidality is being claimed.

Outcome.
Outcome: Exploratory approach with unresolved gap. The calculations recover an explicit family of valid weak transfers and prove the composition lemma. The proposed general-linear descent route has been narrowed to a missing global automorphy statement with prescribed local classes. The faithful-embedding counterexample shows that an image-only descent assertion is insufficient. Neither this local correction nor the solved torus subcase resolves the full functoriality assertion.
