Aug 4, 2020 at 2:36 comment added LSpice I thought you might like to know that your post made another convert to the accessibility of Tits.
Sep 29, 2017 at 7:54 comment added fherzig You are welcome, Marty! Btw, if $K$ is ramified in the definition of the special unitary group, you can get both $SL_2$ and $PGL_2$ as reductive quotient.
Sep 27, 2017 at 16:28 comment added Marty Oh -- cool! Thanks @fherzig. At least I should have gotten the rank correct.
Sep 26, 2017 at 10:04 comment added fherzig Actually, at the special but not non-hyperspecial points the reductive quotient of the special fibre is $U(1,1)$. This follows from Tits 3.5 applied to the unramified extension $K$ (note that over $K$ the torus $S$ has rank 2, so the same is true for the maximal split torus over the residue field). Unfortunately, Tits 3.11 contains a mistake in the unramified case.

Possible error correction in second to last paragraph.
Oct 5, 2010 at 5:29 comment added Marty Glad to hear it! I hope more people read Tits's article in Corvallis too - it's a real gem, and full of great hard-to-find (outside Bruhat-Tits) examples. I only wish there were more pictures in it.
