We will present the following 3 results:
1. The number of n-dimensional irreducible representations of the
pro-finite group $SL(d,Z_p)$ is bounded by a polynomial on n whose
degree does not depend on d and p (our current bound for the degree is
22).
2. Let $\phi : X \to Y$ be a flat map of smooth algebraic varieties
over a local field $F$ of characteristic 0 and assume that all the
fibers of $\phi$ are of rational singularities. Then, the
push-forward of any smooth compactly supported measure on $X$ has
continuous density.
3. Let $X=\Hom(\pi_1(S),SL_d)$ where $S$ is a surface of high enough
genus (our current bound for the genus is 12). Then $X$ is of rational
singularities.
We will also discuss the surprising relation between those results
which allowed us to prove them.
