Is it possible to detect when a maximal parahoric subgroup is (hyper)special from its finite reductive quotient?

Let $F$ be a $p$-adic field with residue field $k$ and let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $F$. Let us assume that $G$ is simply connected as an algebraic group over an algebraic closure of $F$...

Volume of double cosets $BwB$

In Macdonald's book "Spherical functions on a group of $p$-adic type", Prop. (3.1.7), it is stated that if $w=w_1\dots w_r$ is a reduced word for $w\in W$ (the affine Weyl group), and if $q(...

Directed galleries of the building of type $\widetilde{A}_{n}$

Let $X$ be the affine building of $GL_n(\mathbb{Q}_{p})$. We call oreinetd chamber of $X$ every sequence $\overrightarrow{C}=(s_1,...,s_n)$ of vertices such that $C=\{s_1,...,s_n\}$ is a chamber of $X$...

Does $G$ act 2-transitively on its Bruhat-Tits building?

Let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group over $k$. We consider the action of $G$ on its Bruhat-Tits building $X$. Question: If $x,y,x',y'$ are vertices, ...

When are maximal compacts same as maximal parahorics?

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over a complete non-archimedean field $k$. We know that maximal compacts are exactly the same as maximal parahorics when the Iwahori is open compact subgroup of $...

How do you understand the Moy-Prasad filtration of G_2?

Starting on page 44 of this paper of Reeder and Yu, the authors describe the first graded piece of the Moy-Prasad filtration on $G_2$ at a certain point (in this case it's $GL_2$ of the residue field),...

When are toral orbits in buildings the difference of fixed-sets?

Let $L$ be a $p$-adic field, let $G$ be a reductive group over $L$ (I'm even okay assuming semisimplicity for now). Let $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$. Let $B$ be the building for $G(L)$. (Edit 1: "...
