Abstract: The Langlands correspondence relates global Galois
representations with automorphic representations; the local
correspondence works at each prime. For any reductive group $G$ over
a local field $K$ we construct a complex reductive group $^LG$. For
any homomorphism from the Galois group of $K$ to $^LG$ (called a
Langlands parameter) we then construct a set of representations of
$G(K)$ (called an L-packet). I will make these constructions explicit
in the case that the Langlands parameter is discrete, tamely ramified
and regular and that $G$ is the unitary group associated to a tame
extension of
$K$.
