Previous Special Year Seminar

This is the last talk towards understanding Bezrukavnikov-Finkelberg's derived geometric Satake equivalence. With the preparations from previous talks, we will introduce two filtrations: a topological filtration on the equivariant cohomology and an...

This is the third talk in a series of three talks on the derived Satake equivalence. I will give an overview of the article of Bezrukavnikov and Finkelberg which explains how the equivariant derived category of the affine Grassmannian can be...

This is the second talk in a series of three talks on the derived Satake. I will give an overview of an article by Ginzburg which laid the foundational ideas for this equivalence.

In this talk I hope to explain how the representation theory of $GL_n(F_q)$ (with q being a power of p) in char. p, and also in mixed characteristic $(0,p)$, plays an important role in the theory of Galois representations and the Langlands program...

This is the first talk in a series of three talks towards understanding Bezrukavnikov-Finkelberg's derived geometric Satake equivalence. In this talk, we recall the geometry of equal characteristic affine Grassmannians and some of the ingredients of...

We will discuss the conjecture of Broue relating modular representations of finite groups of Lie type in non-defining characteristic to those of normalizers of Levi subgroups, with a focus on $GL_n$. The categories of representations can be related...

We will discuss $p$-local representation theory and conjectures of Broue and Alperin, the latter been inspired by finite groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$. The issue is the extent to which the category of representations can be reconstructed...
