Description
The Satake isomorphism, which describes the spherical Hecke
algebra of a p-adic group in terms of the representation ring of its
Langlands dual group, is the starting point of the Langlands duality. 
I will give an introduction to its categorical version, known as the geometric Satake correspondence. Time permitting, I will also discuss its
applications.
