Abstract
Euclidean buildings carry valuable information about the structure theory of connected reductive groups over local fields. Specifically, they can be used in order to construct certain classes of representations. In this talk, we will explore how we may relate representations of tori of a given connected reductive p-adic group to special representations of the group, by using the Bruhat-Tits building. These special representations give information about how to generate the category of smooth representations of the group.
