Abstract: |
This is a series of four lectures, at an instructional level, explaining what theta lift is and how it applies to the local and global Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures. I will begin from the definition of theta lift and explain the seesaw type argument in both local and global settings. I will try to be as down-to-ground as possible and keep the prerequisite minimal, but we do expect the participants to know what automorphic representations are. |
