Abstract:

The goal of geometric Langlands is to express the category of D-modules on $Bun_G$ (the stack of $G$-bundles on a compact Riemann surface $X$) in terms of the stack of local systems for the Langlands dual group $\check{G}$.

It has been understood by physicists and mathematicians that this program could be achieved by local-to-global techniques, i.e. by quantum field theories. In this talk I wish to discuss a result in that direction: a \emph{chiral} equivalence between $Rep(\check{G})$ and the Whittaker category of the affine Grassmannian $Gr_G$. By definition, the latter category consists of those D-modules on $Gr_G$ that are $N(\!( t)\!)$-equivariant against a non-degenerate character and it coincides with the global Whittaker category defined by Frenkel-Gaitsgory-Vilonen.
