Let G be the group SL(2) over a finite extension F of Q_p, p odd. For a fixed r ≥ 0, we identify the elements of the Bernstein center of G supported in the Moy-Prasad G-domain G_{r^+}, by characterizing them spectrally. We study the behavior of convolution with such elements on orbital integrals of functions in C^∞_c(G(F)), proving results in the spirit of semisimple descent. These are ‘depth r versions’ of results proved for general reductive groups by J.-F. Dat, R. Bezrukavnikov, A. Braverman and D. Kazhdan.

Simplicity and universality


Fixing a complete first order theory T, countable for transparency, we had known quite well for which cardinals T has a saturated model. This depends on T of course - mainly of
whether it is stable/super-stable. But the older, precursor notion of having
 a universal notion lead us to more complicated answer, quite partial so far, e.g
the strict order property and even SOP_4 lead to having "few cardinals"
(a case of GCH almost holds near the cardinal). Note  that eg GCH gives a complete

We discuss joint work with Douglas Arnold, Guy David, Marcel Filoche and Svitlana Mayboroda. Consider for the operator $L = -\Delta + V$ with periodic boundary conditions, and more generally on the manifold with or without boundary. Anderson localization, a significant feature of semiconductor physics, says that the eigenfunctions of $L$ are exponentially localized with high probability for many classes of random potentials $V$. Filoche and Mayboroda introduced the function $u$ solving $Lu = 1$ and showed numerically that it strongly reflects this localization.

I will finish the theory of Lubin-Tate, and start the last topic of this series -- Drinfeld's elliptic modules and CFT of function fields.
