Abstract
In this chapter we recall the “elementary” version of the Langlands classification of representations, in which L-groups do not appear (Theorem 11.14 below). Because some of the groups we consider (such as G(ℝ)can) are not precisely groups of real points of connected algebraic groups, we need to formulate this result in a slightly more general setting. With possible generalizations in mind, we allow even nonlinear groups. The class of groups we consider is essentially the one in section 5 of [50]. (The only difference is that Springer allows G to be disconnected, and imposes an additional technical hypothesis that is empty if G is connected.) We refer the reader to [50] for basic structural facts and further references.
