RE: Your work within ArXiv (shelstadstructureendofactors), your homepage(s) and other publications, including Wikipedia! I’ve been trying to grasp The Langlands-Shelstad transfer factor with Julia Gordon, Thomas C. Hales, Virtual Transfer Function, 2001
First email: 22 February 2024 (Updated)
Dear Prof. Dr. Diana Shelstad:
Having almost a month on you (born, July 20, 1947), I am hoping that you will give me a little wiggle-room for my naivety but earnest desire to understand.
In a most presumptuous manner, I recently wrote to Ngô Bảo Châu, “The functoriality principle (or conjecture) of Langlands does not just exist on paper or as an abstraction in our mind.” I then naively asked, “As a general organizational scheme for all automorphic representations, the functoriality conjecture of Langlands exists in the universe. Not in a multiverse about which we can only speculate, it exists in a universe that is known by space, time, mass, and charge.” I was working on a new homepage and was making references to Langlands, Frenkel and Châu.
Here, “in the universe” means there is a fundamentality to continuity-symmetry-harmony given by infinitesimal spheres defined by the Planck base units. Here, in the face of quantum indeterminacy, is the deepest infrastructure for all that is.
I am sure that I have not been fair and therefore can be ignored. Might you help me state my case more robustly?
I am a simple person and when I considered the very first moment of the universe, I engaged the Planck base units. At that time, I happened to be walking some high school students down inside the tetrahedron, 45 steps to particles and another 67 steps to the Planck units. We had to stop somewhere, so we learned as much as we could about Planck. It became our STEM project; and now for me, it’s a project for lifelong learning.
That has opened up studies of scale invariance, fractal geometries, spheres, pi (π) and so much more.
Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce

PS. On February 24, I just added these lines: “Here, ‘in the universe‘ opens the issue of the place and importance of continuity-symmetry-harmony all manifest within the infinitesimal spheres defined by the Planck base units. Here, in the face of quantum indeterminacy, is a deeper infrastructure for all that is.” Thank you. -BEC
