Is every compact simply-connected reductive p-adic group perfect?

Let $k$ be a nonarchimedean local field and $G$ a reductive $k$-group, which we assume to be semisimple and simply-connected. Recall that an abstract group $H$ is perfect if it is generated by ...

Why does norm map the $\sigma$-conjugacy classes to the conjugacy classes?

Let $E/F$ be a cyclic extension of order $\ell$ (not assumed prime) of fields of characteristic $0$, and $\Sigma$ its Galois group; we denote by $\sigma$ a generator of $\Sigma$. We denote by $G(E), G(...

Cartan decomposition for upper triangular matrices

Due to the comments, I have the impression that I have to be more precise. Consider $G= GL_n(F)$ for a non-Archimedean field $F$ with ring of integers $o$. Let $K= GL_n(o)$ and let $I$ the Iwahori ...
