’Characters and types: the personality of a representation of a p-adic group, revealed
by branching to its compact open subgroups’
Monica Nevins (University of Ottawa)

Abstract: The theory of complex representations of p-adic groups can feel very
technical and unwelcoming, but its central role in the conjectural local Langlands
correspondence has pushed us to pursue its understanding. In this talk, I will aim to
share the spirit of, and open questions in, the representation theory of G, through the
lens of restricting these representations to maximal compact open subgroups. Our point
of departure: the Bruhat-Tits building of G, a 50-year-old combinatorial and geometric
object that continues to reveal secrets about the structure and representation theory
of G today.
