Title: Analytic Character Spaces and p-adic Representations

Speaker: Tobias Schmidt, University of Münster

Abstract: In this talk I will introduce certain rigid analytic character spaces arising naturally in the continuous p-adic representation theory of p-adic groups. If time permits, I will exhibit some first results on the geometry of such spaces.
