Abstract:   In recent years many old and cantankerous problems in p-adic representation theory have fallen. In this talk, I will (eventually) discuss some problems in the area which have been solved via Bruhat-Tits theory. This beautiful theory was (re)introduced to the subject through the fundamental work of Allen Moy and Gopal Prasad. We shall attempt to dispel the notion that this is not good colloquium material by using Michigan's ``time-tested algorithm'' for giving a colloquium talk (see http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/seminars/colloq/visitor.html).
