The Bernstein Center of the Category of Smooth W(k)[GL_n(F)]-Modules
David Helm
2:15pm|S-101

The Bernstein center plays a role in the representation theory of locally profinite groups analogous to that played by the center of the group ring in the representation theory of finite groups. When F is a finite extension of Q_p, we discuss the...

Automorphic Cohomology II (Carayol's work and an Application)
Phillip Griffiths
2:00pm|S-101

These two talks will be about automorphic cohomology in the non-classical case. By definition, automorphic cohomology are the groups $H^q( \Gamma \backslash D, L)$ where $D$ is a homogeneous complex manifold $G_{\mathbb R}/H$, $G_{\mathbb R}$ is a...

p-Adic Analytic Continuation of Genus 2 Overconvergent Hilbert Eigenforms in the Inert Case
2:15pm|S-101

A well known result of Coleman says that p-adic overconvergent (ellitpic) eigenforms of small slope are actually classical modular forms. Now consider an overconvergent p-adic Hilbert eigenform F for a totally real field L. When p is totally split...

Periods Over Spherical Subgroups: An Extension of Some of the Langlands Conjectures
3:30pm|S-101

Periods of automorphic forms over spherical subgroups tend to: (1) distinguish images of functorial lifts and (2) give information about L-functions. This raises the following questions, given a spherical variety X=H\G: Locally, which irreducible...

Analytic Geometry Over F_1
2:15pm|S-101

I'll talk on work in progress on algebraic and analytic geometry over the field of one element F_1. This work originates in non-Archimedean analytic geometry as a result of a search for appropriate framework for so called skeletons of analytic...
