Abstract

We shall describe a recent classification of the automorphic representations of orthogonal and symplectic groups. In order to place it in perspective, we shall also review Langlands’ general principle of functoriality and related matters. Finally, we shall add a few remarks on the explicit application of the results to those cases of functoriality on which they bear.
