Explore the progress towards establishing an Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov equivalence using p-adic central sheaves in this advanced mathematics lecture. Delve into the historical context of Kazhdan-Lusztig's work on equivariant Grothendieck groups and Bezrukavnikov's derived category equivalence. Examine the construction of central sheaves within the Witt vector affine flag variety using perfectoid nearby cycles. Gain insights into the collaborative efforts to extend these concepts and develop a new equivalence based on p-adic central sheaves, bridging the gap between algebraic geometry and representation theory.
