Let $G$ be the points of a connected, semisimple algebraic group over a $p$-adic field $k$. To make life easy, let's assume the underlying group scheme is simply connected. The Bruhat-Tits building $...

Let $n \geq 0$ be an integer, let $A = (a_{ij})$ be the $(2n+1) \times (2n+1)$ matrix defined by $a_{ij} = 0$ unless $i + j = 2n+2$, in which case $a_{ij} = 1$. Let $G$ be the group scheme over $\...

Let $\Gamma_n$ be the $n$-th congruence subgroup of $GL(2,\mathbb{Z}_p)$. So $\Gamma_n$ consists of matrices in $GL(2,\mathbb{Z}_p)$ which are congruent to the identity matrix modulo $p^n$. Let $Z(\...

Consider the very well-known result that any Hermitian matrix over $\mathbb{C}$, say $T$, admits a decomposition $T = UDU^*$ where $U$ is unitary and $D$ is diagonal with real entries. I am looking ...
