Does the Bruhat decomposition induces decomposition on integral points (on an open cell)?

Edit: both questions are resolved in comments. Let $F$ be a local field and $O$ its integral points. Let $G$ be a split reductive group over $O$. The Bruhat decomposition states that there is a ...

Stabilizer of a Levi subgroup in the Weyl group and its quotient

(I appologize in advance if this question is too naive for experts, since I know very little about the geometry/combinatorics of Weyl/Coxeter groups.) For simplicity, let $G$ be a connected reductive ...

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group over a field $k$. Let $T \subseteq B$ be a maximal torus and Borel subgroup of $G$ with corresponding base $\Delta \subseteq X(T)$. Then $T$ contains $Z(G)$, ...
