- It^([the Langlands functoriality conjecture]) is closely related to the local Langlands conjectures, which amount to a (conjectural) classification of the representations of reductive groups over local fields.1998, Daniel Bump, Automorphic Forms and Representations, Cambridge University Press, page 90
- This abelian case of the Geometric Langlands Conjecture amounts to the well known result that any rank of one local system (or: line bundle with flat connection) on the curve C extends uniquely to J, and this extension is natural with respect to the Abel-Jacobi map.2009, Huai-Dong Cao, Shing-Tung Yau, editors, Surveys in Differential Geometry, International Press, page 86
