Abstract:
The talk will present an overview of recent results related to the construction of Galois representations via the cohomology of Shimura varieties. The talk will include a review of some relevant background concepts, and will provide some motivation for the constructions, including the role of endoscopy. Precise details of the constructions will be the subject of subsequent talks.
