   An automorphic L-function is an L-function built from an automorphic representation , in nonabelian generalization of how a Dirichlet L-function is associated to a Dirichlet character (which is an automorphic form on the (abelian) idele group).

   In analogy to how Artin reciprocity implies that to every 1-dimensional Galois representation there is a Dirichlet character such that the Artin L-function equals the Dirichlet L-function , so the conjectured Langlands correspondence says that to every -dimensional Galois representation there is an automorphic representation such that the automorphic L-function equals the Artin L-function .
