DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Joseph Baine (MPIM)\n\nMPI-Oberseminar\nIn this intr
 oductory talk\, I will introduce various classes of representations that n
 aturally arise when studying the classical and modular representation theo
 ry of algebraic groups. In the classical setting the structure of these mo
 dules is understood and governed by combinatorial data (root systems and W
 eyl groups). In the modular setting\, the structure of these modules are p
 oorly understood and many basic questions (dimensions and characters) rema
 in open. I will sketch some of the techniques (including deep connections 
 to the geometry of the affine Grassmannian of the Langlands dual group) us
 ed to study these representations and\, time permitting\, my minuscule con
 tributions to the field.\n\nhttps://math-events.uni-bonn.de/event/844/
