Extensions of smooth representations of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ in natural characteristic

Abstract

Representation theory of $p$-adic groups in characteristic $p$ is something which is still not understood too well. One issue, which we already see for modular representations of finite groups, is that things are not semisimple anymore, and so understanding irreducible representations is not quite enough to have full information. During the talk I will present some of my attempts at creating homological methods to understand extensions of representations of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$, and what those results imply about injective smooth representations (that are my main focus of research).

Professor Raphaël Millière will be speaking on “What goes on inside language models?”. 

Although this is a welcome lecture for our first-years, all Philosophy and joint school students and staff members are welcome to attend as well!
