On irreducible representations of compact \(p\)-adic analytic groups (Q363349)

The authors prove that the canonical dimension of a coadmissible representation of a semisimple \(p\)-adic Lie group in a \(p\)-adic Banach space is either zero or at least half the dimension of a nonzero coadjoint orbit. To do this, they establish analogues for \(p\)-adically completed enveloping algebras of Bernstein's inequality for modules over Weyl algebras, the Beilinson-Bernstein localisation theorem, and Quillen's lemma about the endomorphism ring of a simple module over an enveloping algebra.
