The Tannakian formalism and the Langlands conjectures

David Kazhdan, Michael Larsen and Yakov Varshavsky

Vol. 8 (2014), No. 1, 243–256
Abstract

Let H be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let Γ be an abstract group. In this note, we show that every homomorphism of Grothendieck semirings ϕ : K0+[H] K0+[Γ], which maps irreducible representations to irreducible, comes from a group homomorphism ρ : Γ H(K). We also connect this result with the Langlands conjectures.
