   Unfortunately the "geometry" involved is not the kind of geometry that lends itself towards being easily drawn to give understanding. If you had to draw a picture of it, it would just be a sphere (since it shares many propert

   I would be surprised if this gets a 3blue1brown episode - this branch of mathematics takes a lengthy time to wrap one's head around. 3blue1brown topics tend to show up in undergraduate math, whereas the Langlands program (and the Fargu
