DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, Ardakov and Wadsley have compute
 d dimension estimates for coadmissible KG-modules\
 , where G is a compact p-adic analytic group and K
  is a field of very good characteristic p. My rece
 nt work has focused on extending these results to 
 cases where the characteristic of K is bad. The cl
 assical proof relies on fundamental geometric prop
 erties of the dual nilcone of a semisimple Lie alg
 ebra\; in particular\, finding a nice desingularis
 ation of the nilcone and demonstrating that it is 
 normal. I will discuss the importance of these pro
 perties\, and explain recent progress towards exte
 nding these results in cases where the prime p is 
 'adequate'.
