In this paper we propose a new way to realize cyclic base change (a special case of Langlands functoriality) for prime degree extensions of characteristic zero local fields. Let F / E be a prime degree l extension of local fields of residue characteristic p ≠ l. Let π be an irreducible cuspidal l-adic representation of GLn(E) and ρ be an irreducible cuspidal l-adic representation of GLn(F) which is Galois-invariant. Under some minor technical conditions on π and ρ (for instance, we assume that both are level zero) we prove that the \bmod l-reductions rl(π) and rl(ρ) are in base change if and only if the Tate cohomology of ρ with respect to the Galois action is isomorphic, as a modular representation of GLn(E), to the Frobenius twist of rl(π). This proves a special case of a conjecture of Treumann and Venkatesh as they investigate the relationship between linkage and Langlands functoriality.
