Description
We will explain how the procedure of taking the (categorical)
trace of Frobenius raelizes the passage from the geometric to the classical 
Langlands theory. Combined with the geometric Langlands conjecture
(now close to being a theorem), this gives an explicit description of the
space of automorphic functions in terms of Galois parameters.
