Conference schedule
Overview:
The representation theory of p-adic groups is a blossoming area of
research which has seen many exciting developments over the past several
years. It serves as a cross-roads for several disciplines, including
number theory, Lie theory, automorphic forms and harmonic analysis.
The influx of so many ideas from several different areas has the two-fold
effect of providing rich opportunities for collaborative discoveries,
while at the same time rendering the subject somewhat inaccessible to
most.
The goal of the mini-course portion of the workshop is thus to offer
an introduction to some of the important themes in p-adic representation
theory, and to help foster an environment which encourages the lively
interaction of researchers from all disciplines. The subsequent weekend
conference will follow the model of the recent (and very popular) Midwest
Workshops, with emphasis on the newest results and ideas, and includes
a special lecture by Paul Sally.
Please send expressions of interest to Monica Nevins (mnevins@uottawa.ca).
Graduate students and new Ph.D.'s are especially encouraged to attend.
