18th - 22nd of July 2022
The representation theory of a reductive group G defined over a p-adic field is at the forefront of modern algebra and number theory. One of the largest open problems in this area is to classify all smooth, irreducible representations of G, which is fundamental to the p-adic local Langlands programme. Good techniques for exploring this problem have been developed in characteristic 0, and more generally in any characteristic not equal to p, so we are particularly interested in studying representations of G in characteristic p - natural characteristic.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together a small group, consisting of experts in the field together with interested and less experienced researchers, to discuss the most recent developments and results, to assess what are currently the most important questions, and to propose new ideas for where to direct research. We will focus on exploring the category of smooth mod-p representations of G=GL(n, Q_p), or an appropriate subcategory, and try to develop or build on methods of understanding its categorical or homological properties.
