DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n			\n				TITLE / TITRE\n\n				Why p-adic numbers are better than rea
 l for representation theory\n\n				\n					ABSTRACT/RÉSUMÉ \n\n				The p-adic numbers\, 
 discovered over a century ago\, unveil aspects of number theory that the r
 eal numbers alone can’t. In this talk\, we introduce p-adic fields and the
 ir fractal geometry\, and then apply this to the (complex!) representation
  theory of the p-adic group SL(2). We describe a surprising conclusion: th
 at close to the identity\, all representations are a sum of finitely many 
 rather simple building blocks arising from nilpotent orbits in the Lie alg
 ebra.\n					\n					ZOOM\n					https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84226701306?pwd=UEZ5NVpZaUlldW5qN
