Let $G$ be a reductive group over a $p$-adic field. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup of $G$ containing a minimal parabolic $P_0$. Let $S$ be a maximal split torus of $P_0$, and let $\Delta$ be a set of simple roots of $S$ corresponding to $P_0$, with $\theta \subseteq \Delta$ corresponding to $P$.
There is a unique $w$ in the Weyl group $W = N(S)/Z(S)$ such that $w$ maps $\theta$ into $\Delta$, and sends $\Delta - \theta$ to negative roots. Is the double coset $PwP$ always open in $G$?
Consider the special case where $G$ is quasisplit and $P = P_0$ is a Borel subgroup. In that case, $\theta = \emptyset$, and the $w$ described above is just the long element, in which case $PwP$ is open as the "big cell."
