| Jul 14, 2013 at 17:53 | comment | added | paul garrett | Once-upon-a-time, I had hoped to reduce dependence on "building theory" by assuming more geometric algebra and such, and this can be made to succeed for spherical buildings. However, it seems much harder to avoid "building theory" to address the affine case directly, even for $SL_n(\mathbb Q_p)$. As the second link suggests, it is possible to pare things down and avoid much discussion of Coxeter groups, but the geometry of buildings seems to be an essential aid. | |
| Jul 14, 2013 at 17:17 | comment | added | KotelKanim | Thank you for the links. It does seem very building-oriented, but I understand you are saying it is inevitable. Is it possible to reduce dependence on buildings, if one is willing to assume more classical algebraic group theory and/or algebraic geometry? | |
