Title	The p-adic local Langlands correspondence for GL_2(Q_p)
Abstract	The p-adic Langlands program is still in infancy, but the case of GL_2(Q) is rather well understood by now, following Wiles’s breakthrough which lead to the proof of Fermat’s last theorem. In this lecture, I will try to explain what this program is good for and what we know with respect to its local component.
