"Logarithmic differential forms on p-adic symmetric spaces."
Abstract: P-adic symmetric spaces are certain infinite hyperplane arrangements over p-adic fields. We describe explicitly their de Rham cohomology in terms of logarithmic differential forms. As an application one obtains a Hodge type decomposition of the de Rham cohomology of algebraic varieties over p-adic fields which are quotients of p-adic symmetric spaces.

"On relations between induced representations for GL_2(Z/p^2) and applications to modular curves"
Abstract: (joint with B. deSmit and M. Grabitz) We will exhibit a relation between induced representations on GL_2(Z/p^2) and discuss possible applications to studying mod(p^2) representations of elliptic curves.
