Introduction aux chtoucas pour les groupes réductifs et à la paramétrisation de Langlands globale (1404.3998v5)

Abstract: This is an introduction to the article "Chtoucas pour les groupes r\'eductifs et param\'etrisation de Langlands globale", arXiv:1209.5352. We explain all the ideas of the proof. For any reductive group G over a global function field, we use the cohomology of G-shtukas with multiple modifications and the geometric Satake equivalence to prove the global Langlands correspondence for G in the "automorphic to Galois" direction. Moreover we obtain a canonical decomposition of the spaces of cuspidal automorphic forms indexed by global Langlands parameters. The proof does not rely at all on the Arthur-Selberg trace formula.
