%0 Journal Article %T Geometrization of trace formulas %A Edward Frenkel %A Bao Chau Ng %J Bulletin of Mathematical Sciences %@ 1664-3615 %D 2011 %I Springer %R 10.1007/s13373-011-0009-0 %X Following our joint work with Robert Langlands, we make the first steps toward developing geometric methods for analyzing trace formulas in the case of the function field of a curve defined over a finite field. We also suggest a conjectural framework of geometric trace formulas for curves defined over the complex field, which exploits the categorical version of the geometric Langlands correspondence. %U http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13373-011-0009-0
