We prove that the mod p Iwasawa algebra of G has no modules of canonical dimension one. One consequence is a new upper bound on the Krull dimension of the Iwasawa algebra. We also prove a canonical dimension-theoretic criterion for a mod p smooth admissible representation to be of finite length. Combining our results shows that any smooth admissible representation of $GL_n(F)$, with central character, has finite length if its dual has canonical dimension two.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-06-16T09:00:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "16P60", "16P90", "22E50" ], "keywords": [ "iwasawa algebra", "canonical dimension", "smooth admissible representation", "finite length", "compact p-adic lie group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
