Title: Some combinatorial topics in $p$-adic representation theory
Speaker: Markus Reibnegger (University of Vienna)
Abstract: In this talk I will give an introduction to the representation theory of general linear groups over a $p$-adic field. More concretely, I will report the classification of irreducible representations of these groups in terms of so-called 'multisegments' that was established by I.N. Bernstein and A. Zelevinsky around 1980. Under some mild simplifications, multisegments are just finite multisets of integer intervals and we give some classical results on the interplay between their combinatorics and representation-theoretic problems. Finally, I show some work in progress (joint with Ilse Fischer) on a novel variant of the classical Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence and its uses in answering decomposition questions for a special class of irreducible representations.

Code of conduct

Maintaining a respectful environment is essential to fostering meaningful dialogue and intellectual growth. Participants are expected to refrain from any form of disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour, including offensive comments, harassment, or disruptive conduct. Questions and contributions should be constructive, relevant to the topic, and posed in a professional manner that encourages healthy academic exchange. Harassment of any kind—including verbal, moral or physical—will not be tolerated, and all attendees are urged to uphold these principles to ensure a safe and welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
