Abstract: The talk will introduce parahoric groups and Bruhat-Tits group schemes and torsors and relate them to representations of Fuchsian groups.
The classical work of Seshadri and Mehta on parabolic bundles when seen from this new perspective gives a somewhat new manner of realizing parahoric groups as “equivariant automorphisms of torsors”. This new perspective opens up possible generalizations of Bruhat-Tits theory to higher dimensional bases. The talk will be reasonably self-contained and will contain basic examples. Towards the end, I will indicate some new developments.
