Abstract
This is a survey on recent works of Langlands’s work on functoriality conjectures and related works including the works of Braverman and Kazhdan on the functional equation of automorphic L-functions. Efforts have been made to carry out in complete generality the construction of the L-monoid, and certain a kernel which is, we believe, related to the elusive Hankel kernel.
