The canonical dimension is a fundamental integer-valued invariant that is attached to mod p representations of p-adic Lie groups. I will explain why it is both an asymptotic measure of growth, and an algebraic quantity strongly related to Krull dimension. We will survey algebraic tools that can be applied in its calculation, and describe results spanning the last twenty years. I'll present a new theorem and suggest its possible significance for the mod p local Langlands programme.
