Expository material

These are informal notes meant to briefly summarize some of the ideas surrounding the work of my thesis and my work with A. Bertoloni Meli. As an added bonus, I try to motivate the Langlands conjecture via the cohomology of Shimura varieties.

These are very old notes written for a seminar on automorphic representations. They discuss some examples of representations of reductive \(p\)-adic groups.

These are very old notes written for a seminar on automorphic representations. They discuss some examples of automorphic representations for \(\mathrm{GL}_2\).

These are very old notes written for a seminar on Galois representations. The goal is to essentially discuss some basic aspects of the Galois groups of local and global fields, give some geometric intuition for these objects, and explain why one would expect them to be difficult to study.

These are very old notes written for a seminar on Galois representations. The goal is to motivate Weil–Deligne representations (i.e., why they naturally show up), \(p\)-adic Hodge theory, and how the two notions connect.

These notes are a discussion on the theory of characteristic \(p\) representations of \(p\)-adic and \(t\)-adic reductive groups and their relationship with the characteristic 0 theory. There is, in particular, a discussion of Kazhdan's theorem which relates Hecke algebras of \(p\)-adic and \(t\)-adic groups.
