From the text: The author surveys some results in the theory of modular representations of a reductive \(p\)-adic group, in positive characteristic \(\ell\neq p\) and \(\ell=p\).
The congruences between automorphic forms and their applications to number theory are a motivation to study the smooth representations of a reductive \(p\)-adic group \(G\) over an algebraically closed field \(R\) of any characteristic. The purpose of the talk is to give a survey of some aspects of the theory of representations of \(G\). In positive characteristic, most results are due to the author; when proofs are available in the literature (some of them are not !), references will be given.
A prominent role is played by the unipotent block which contains the trivial representation. There is a finite list of types, such that the irreducible representations of the unipotent block are characterized by the property that they contain a unique type of the list. The types define functors from the \(R\)-representations of \(G\) to the right modules over generalized affine Hecke algebras over \(R\) with different parameters; in positive characteristic \(\ell\), the parameters are 0 when \(\ell=p\), and roots of unity when \(\ell\neq p\).
In characteristic 0 or \(\ell\neq p\), for a \(p\)-adic linear group, there is a Deligne-Langlands correspondence for irreducible representations; the irreducible in the unipotent block are annihilated by a canonical ideal \(J\); the category of representations annihilated by \(J\) is Morita equivalent to the affine Schur algebra, and the unipotent block is annihilated by a finite power \(J^k\).
New phenomena appear when \(\ell=p\), as the supersingular representations discovered by Barthel-Livné and classified by Ch. Breuil for \(\text{GL}(2,\mathbb Q_p)\). The modules for the affine Hecke algebras of parameter 0 and over \(R\) of characteristic \(p\), are more tractable than the \(R\)-representations of the group, using that the center \(Z\) of a \(\mathbb Z[q]\)-affine Hecke algebra \(H\) of parameter \(q\) is a finitely algebra and \(H\) is a generated \(Z\)-module. The classification of the simple modules of the pro-\(p\)-Iwahori Hecke algebra of \(\text{GL}(2,\mathbb F)\) suggests the possibility of a Deligne-Langlands correspondence in characteristic \(p\).
