About this title

Synopsis

Bruhat–Tits theory is an important topic in number theory, representation theory, harmonic analysis, and algebraic geometry. This book gives the first comprehensive treatment of this theory over discretely valued Henselian fields. It can serve both as a reference for researchers in the field and as a thorough introduction for graduate students and early career mathematicians. Part I of the book gives a review of the relevant background material, touching upon Lie theory, metric geometry, algebraic groups, and integral models. Part II gives a complete, detailed, and motivated treatment of the core theory as well as an axiomatic summary of Bruhat–Tits theory that suffices for the main applications. Part III treats modern topics that have become important in current research. Part IV provides a few sample applications of the theory. The appendices contain further details on the topic of integral models, including a detailed study of integral models.

About the Authors

Tasho Kaletha is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. He is an expert on the Langlands program, and has studied arithmetic and representation-theoretic aspects of the local Langlands correspondence for p-adic groups.

Gopal Prasad is Raoul Bott Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Michigan. He is a leading expert on real and p-adic Lie groups and algebraic groups. Together with Ofer Gabber and Brian Conrad, he published the complete classification and structure theory of pseudo-reductive groups in the books Pseudo-reductive Groups (2010, 2015) and Classification of Pseudo-reductive Groups (2015).
