Relative Langlands Duality (2409.04677v1)

Abstract: We propose a duality in the relative Langlands program. This duality pairs a Hamiltonian space for a group $G$ with a Hamiltonian space under its dual group $\check{G}$, and recovers at a numerical level the relationship between a period on $G$ and an $L$-function attached to $\check{G}$; it is an arithmetic analog of the electric-magnetic duality of boundary conditions in four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory.
