Jun 27, 2012 at 11:51 comment added Bugs Bunny Thanks, Jim, corrected. In a "Chevalley group" SL you have BN-pair but you cannot extend it GL... unless I have gone completely looney...

Jun 27, 2012 at 11:25 comment added Jim Humphreys P.S. Your formulation of axiom (BN2) needs the symbol "not equal" in place of "not a member of".
Jun 27, 2012 at 11:22 comment added Jim Humphreys I'm not sure what your starting point is, but the original treatment of BN-pairs in "Chevalley groups" over local fields (which more or less covers the general linear case) was done by Iwahori and Matsumoto in their 1965 IHES paper: numdam.org/numdam-bin/fitem?id=PMIHES_1965__25__5_0
