Langlands' beyond endoscopy proposal for establishing functoriality motivates interesting and concrete problems in the representation theory of algebraic groups. Historically, there are important antecedents of this in the relationship between Artin L-functions and Brauer theory, a beautiful subject combining Galois theory and finite group theory. At this point very little is known about the general picture and thus the community is in dire need of concrete examples. My current work is devoted to producing such examples using techniques from the representation theory of finite groups and algebraic groups.
