First lecture: 19.10.2015

Contents

In this lecture course we want to study representations of p-adic reductive group, i.e. groups like GL_n(Q_p). We will introduce the important class of so called smooth representations, i.e. representation on a vector space V such that every element of V has open stabilizer. These representations show up in the Langlands program and the theory of automorphic forms.

We plan to cover the following topics:

• Smooth and admissible representations
• Hecke algebras and the Satake transform
• Unramified representations and their relation with modules over the Hecke algebra
• Parabolic induction

Prerequisites

Representation theory of finite groups, some knowledge about linear algebraic groups and reductive groups, basis knowledge about local fields.
