Representations of \(p\)-adic Lie groups through Lie algebras
Cemile Kurkoglu
My research is about understanding representations of \(p\)-adic Lie groups on \(p\)-adic vector spaces, and the construction of such representations using Lie algebra methods. The representations in Lie theory hold significant importance in various areas across mathematics and physics ranging from number theory and geometry to theoretical physics and cryptography. In this talk; I will introduce \(p\)-adic numbers, Lie groups and their Lie algebras. I will explain what we mean by a representation. I will finish by conveying the idea behind the main result of my research.
