DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, Ardakov and Wadsley have computed dimension 
 estimates for coadmissible KG-modules\, where G is a compact p-adic analyt
 ic group and K is a field of very good characteristic p. My recent work ha
 s focused on extending these results to cases where the characteristic of 
 K is bad. The classical proof relies on fundamental geometric properties o
 f the dual nilcone of a semisimple Lie algebra\; in particular\, finding a
  nice desingularisation of the nilcone and demonstrating that it is normal
 . I will discuss the importance of these properties\, and explain recent p
 rogress towards extending these results in cases where the prime p is 'ade
 quate'.
