Robert P. Langlands. Robert Langlands’s profound insights in number theory and representation theory include the formulation of general principles relating automorphic forms and algebraic number theory; the introduction of a general class of L-functions; the construction of a general theory of Eisenstein series; the introduction of techniques ...
When it was time for Robert to begin elementary school, the family returned to New Westminster where Robert began his schooling at St Ann's Academy. This religious school had been established by the Sisters of Saint Ann in 1865 and the teachers were nuns; the school closed in 1968 .
After thirty-five years at the Institute for Advanced Study, Robert Langlands, whose visionary work, known as the Langlands program, has had a deep influence across a broad sweep of mathematics and parts of theoretical physics, retired in July as Hermann Weyl Professor in the School of Mathematics, becoming Professor Emeritus.
In 1962, Langlands was appointed a member in the Institute’s School of Mathematics. During the Christmas break of 1966, Langlands came up with the basic idea of “functoriality”, a mechanism for linking ideas in number theory to those in automorphic forms.
