Abstract:

We will give a brief introduction to p-adic numbers and explain the structure of their additive and multiplicative groups. We will then introduce the group GSp(4) and its parabolic subgroups. Finally, we will discuss irreducible, smooth, admissible representations of GSp(4,F) on ℂ-vector spaces.
