DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/MITLie/1/">C
 haracter sheaves on algebraic groups</a>\nby Tanmay Deshpande (TIFR) as pa
 rt of MIT Lie groups seminar\n\nLecture held in 2-142.\n\nAbstract\nCharac
 ter sheaves on an algebraic group are supposed to be the geometric analogu
 es of irreducible characters of a finite group. In 1980s Lusztig developed
  the\ntheory of character sheaves on reductive groups and gave a geometric
  description\nof the character theory of finite reductive groups. Inspired
  by Lusztig’s works\,\nBoyarchenko and Drinfeld developed the theory of 
 character sheaves on unipotent\ngroups. In this talk\, I will describe an 
 approach (due to Drinfeld) towards a theory\nof character sheaves on gener
 al algebraic groups and describe the known results in\nthe case of solvabl
 e algebraic groups.\n
