Research

I am interested in extensions of the Langlands program, both in the “relative” and “metaplectic” directions. Currently, I am thinking about questions on relative trace formulas and related notions of endoscopy. I also think about generalized Fourier transforms and Poisson summation formulas in the context of the Braverman-Kazhdan-Ngo-Sakellaridis conjectures with Jayce Getz, Chun-Hsien Hsu, and Pam Gu.

      • Erratum: Remark 3.5.4 is not relevant, as the self-Ext-class that exists over modular coefficients does not lift to a self-extension over the Witt vectors (a sign character intervenes). In particular, the case of p=2 works just as the case of p odd for the entire paper. I want to thank Tony Feng for pointing this out to me.
