<p>I am looking for a reference with definitions on what it means for an algebraic group to be split, quasi-split, and non-split. I would like to see some examples of the different "types".</p> <p>Thanks, Tom</p>

<p>Hello,</p> <p>I have a trivial question, but I hope that you don't mind helping. I often get confused with basic definitions.</p> <p>Let F be a p-adic field. Then (from what I understand) $C_c^{\infty}(F)$ is the set of functions $f: F \to \mathbb{C}$ such that $f$ is locally constant and $f$ has compact support. Is the locally constant part the same as smooth or continuous (the $\infty$)? What exactly does smooth mean in this case?</p> <p>Thanks, Tom</p>

Ok, I have done that now. Thanks. I wasn't sure since I was just looking for a reference.
