Kirillov to see how exactly geometric representation theory helps to solve algebraic questions. // Another reason: BBW theorem is only true over characteristic zero alg. closed field. There are algebraic groups over arbitrary base scheme which are often interesting to study. One can say that Margulis hyperrigidity is (in some sense) a result of geometric rep theory. | |
