DESCRIPTION:Title: Modular Reduction of Nilpotent Orbits\nAbstract: If ()
  is a finite reductive group\, where  is a prime power\, then Lusztig ha
 s defined a set of complex irreducible characters UCh(()) called the uni
 potent characters of the group. Somewhat remarkably these characters are
  parameterised independently of .\n\nThe Lie algebra  of the underlying 
 algebraic group  admits a ?-form ? ?  whose elements make sense for any 
 . In this talk I will outline joint work with Adam Thomas (Warwick) wher
 e we find nilpotent elements of ? which behave very well when reduced mo
 dulo any prime. Moreover\, I will explain the relationship with Lusztig'
 s classification of unipotent characters.\n
