Upper bound on order of finite subgroups of GL_n(Z_p)?
Fix a prime $p$ and integer $n>1$, along with the ring $R$ of integers in a finite extension of the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ (for example $R = \mathbb{Z}_p$).
Is there an upper bound $C(n,p)$ on ...

Are there any simple, interesting consequences to motivate the local Langlands correspondence?
Let's pretend that we know local Langlands at a fairly high level of generality... i.e. we know something along the lines of:
Let $G=\mathbf{G}(F)$ be the group of $F$-points of a connected reductive ...

Finite dimensional irreducible representations of quasisplit p-adic groups
For split groups over a $p$-adic field, every irreducible smooth (complex) representation is either infinite-dimensional or one-dimensional. Is it true for quasisplit groups that split over an ...

Non-trivial extension of representations have same central character
Let $\pi_1, \pi_2$ be two irreducible complex representations of $G=\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ and assume that there exists a non-split extension $0\to\pi_1\to \pi\to\pi_2\to0$ of representations ...

Is $SL_n(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ virtually torsion free?
If so, is there a way to conclude this from Malcev's theorem?
In general, what is known about virtually torsion freeness of non-finitely generated linear groups?
