Block decompositions for p-adic groups

Constantinos Papachristoforou
(University of Sheffield)
Abstract
Driven by the Langlands program, the representation theory of reductive p-adic groups has been significantly developed during the last few decades.
I will give an overview on some aspects of the theory, with particular emphasis on decomposition of categories of smooth representations. I will also discuss passing from complex representations to other coefficient rings.

The derived l-modular unipotent block of p-adic GLn

Rose Berry
(University of East Anglia)
Abstract

Complex representations of p-adic groups are in many ways well-understood. The category has Bernstein's decomposition into blocks, and for many groups each block is known to be equivalent to modules over a Hecke algebra. In particular, the unipotent block of GLn (the block containing the trivial representation) is equivalent to the modules over an extended affine hecke algebra of type A. Over \bar{Fl} the situation is more complicated in the general case: the Bernstein block decomposition can fail (eg for SP8), and there is no longer in general an equivalence with the Hecke algebra. However, some groups, such as GLn and its inner forms, still have a Bernstein decomposition. Furthermore, Vigernas showed that the unipotent block of GLn contains a subcategory that is equivalent to modules over the Schur algebra, a mild extension of the Hecke algebra with much of the same theory, and this subcategory generates the unipotent block under extensions. Building on this work, we show that the derived category of the unipotent block of GLn is triangulated-equivalent to the perfect complexes over a dg-enriched Schur algebra. We prove this by combining general finiteness results about Schur algebras with the well-known structure of the l-modular unipotent blocks of GLn over finite fields.

A central limit theorem and large deviations principle for the generalised Dean--Kawasaki equation with truncated noise on a bounded domain

Shyam Popat
(Mathematical Institute)
Abstract

We begin with motivation on how the study of SPDEs are relevant when interested in fluctuations of particle systems. 

We then present a law of large numbers, central limit theorem and large deviations principle for the generalised Dean--Kawasaki SPDE with truncated noise. 

Our main contribution is the ability to consider the equation on a general $C^2$-regular, bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. On the particle level the boundary condition corresponds to absorption and injection of particles at the boundary.

The work is based on discussions with Benjamin Fehrman and can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.17094 

 

Effective 5 May 2025, Spectrum Life is the University’s new Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provider, offering 24/7 support to all staff.  Services include immediate emotional support, structured short-term counselling (up to 6 sessions where clinically indicated), and expert advice on legal, financial, and consumer matters. Partners and dependents aged 16+ are also eligible. 

Please join us for our annual Pride Picnic. This event is open to all within MPLS who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community. 

We will meet at 1pm in University Parks but drop by when convenient. We will provide a rainbow of snacks, but feel free to bring your own lunch. We’ll be just along South Walk between the two paths from Keble Gate towards the river.
