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 ...

Tempered Iwahori-spherical representations

Consider a local field $F$ of characteristic 0 and $G=GL_n(F)$. It is well known (for example Cartiers article in Corvallis) that an admissible, irreducible representation $\pi$ of $G$ has a ...

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(...

Is a reductive group scheme always parahoric?

Let $R$ be complete (or, more generally, Henselian) discrete valuation ring with fraction field $K$. Let $G$ be a reductive $R$-group scheme. Is $G$ a parahoric in the sense of Bruhat-Tits? If so, ...

Is every connected reductive group over a local field already defined over a global field?

Let $K$ be a local field, e.g. $\mathbb{Q}_p$ or $\mathbb{F}_p((t))$. Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $K$. Is it true that $G$ is already defined over a global field? More precisely, does ...

Algebraic characters and quasi-characters of reductive algebraic group over non-archimedean local field

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $F$, where $F$ is a non-archimedean local field. Then $G(F)$ is a p-adic group. Let $\Psi(G)$ be the lattice of algebraic characters. Let $\Lambda_G$ be the ...

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 ...
