Description:
This book provides an excellent detailed review of an important aspect of the geometric Langlands program, namely, the role of representation theory of affine Kac-Moody algebras (or loop algebras). It provides clear and insightful introductions to such notions as vertex algebras, the Langlands dual group, connections on the punctured disc, representation theory of loop algebras, etc.

Elliptic Curves over Function Fieldsby Douglas Ulmer - arXiv
The focus is on elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. We explain the main classical results on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture in this context and its connection to the Tate conjecture about divisors on surfaces.
