Abstract: Shtukas are invented by Drinfeld to prove the Langlands conjectures over function fields in characteristic p. These are vector bundles over an algebraic curve with additional structures related to the Frobenius map. The moduli space of Shtukas are function-field analogues of modular curves or more generally Shimura varieties. We will start from the basic definitions, and sketch how Shtukas are used to realize the Langlands correspondences for groups over function fields.
