Overview

There has been considerable recent progress in the representation theory of p-adic groups, especially in the study of supercuspidal representations. The workshop aims to help junior researchers in the area to broaden their understanding, particularly of characters, liftings, and types, in both the standard and symmetric-space settings. The conference that follows will present recent results in these areas.
