Modular Arithmetic

Modular arithmetic studies arithmetic “mod n.” Instead of ordinary equality, we consider that two integers are equivalent if their difference is a multiple of n. We write:

a ≡ b mod n means a − b is divisible by n.

This arithmetic is the backbone of cryptography, residue classes, cyclic groups, and more.

Langlands Program — A Grand Unifying Vision

The Langlands Program proposes deep connections between number theory, harmonic analysis, and geometry. Roughly speaking, it links:

  • Representations of Galois (or Weil) groups coming from number fields
  • “Automorphic representations” (analytic‑ / harmonic‑analysis objects) of certain groups

Via this correspondence, many seemingly distinct problems — about zeta/L‑functions, modular forms, elliptic curves, and more — become facets of a unified framework. [oai_citation:0‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlands_program?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

  • Local & global fields: number‑fields, p‑adics, adèles in general. [oai_citation:1‡Virtual Math 1](https://virtualmath1.stanford.edu/~conrad/JLseminar/refs/Knappintro.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
  • Reductive / algebraic groups: e.g. GL(n), or more general groups over fields. [oai_citation:2‡CJHB](https://cjhb.site/Files.php/Books/%28Uncategorized%29/S0273-0979-1984-15237-6.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
  • Automorphic forms / representations: analytic objects living on groups over adèles. [oai_citation:3‡Stanford Mathematics](https://math.stanford.edu/~conrad/JLseminar/refs/Knappintro.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
  • Galois/Weil (or conjectural Langlands) groups: encoding arithmetic symmetries. [oai_citation:4‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlands_group?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
  • Correspondence / functoriality: predicted bijections matching representations with number‑theoretic data. [oai_citation:5‡Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlands_program?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Why It Matters

The Langlands Program is sometimes called a “Grand Unified Theory” of mathematics: it unites number theory, harmonic analysis, algebraic geometry, and representation theory under one framework. [oai_citation:6‡Quanta Magazine](https://www.quantamagazine.org/what-is-the-langlands-program-20220601/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Even famous breakthroughs — like connections between elliptic curves and modular forms — can be viewed as special cases of Langlands‑type correspondences. [oai_citation:7‡MathWeb](https://mathweb.ucsd.edu/~csorense/teaching/math299/Harder_ICTP.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
