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 ...

Chevalley-Solomon formula and Weyl character formula

Let $\Phi\subset V$ be a root system of rank $r$ with Weyl group $W$, a choice of positive roots $\Phi_+$ and exponents $d_1, \ldots, d_r$ (i.e. the invariant algebra $(\operatorname{Sym}^\bullet V)^W$...

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 ...

Cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig variety associated to Coxeter element

Determining the individual ($l$-adic) cohomology groups of Deligne-Lusztig varieties has only been done for the general linear group and for some other very specific cases (as far as I know). However, ...

Bruhat order and positive roots made negative

Let $(\Phi, V)$ be a reduced root system with base $\Delta$ and Weyl group $W$. Let $\ell$ be the length function of $W$ with respect to the set of simple reflections $S = \{s_{\alpha} : \alpha \in \...

Why the hyperoctahedral group is a ``reductive'' group?

Sorry for the misleading title, I actually mean the following: The $n$-th hyperoctahedral group, also known as the Weyl group of $\mathrm{Sp}_{2n}$ and of $\mathrm{SO}_{2n+1}$, is isomorphic to the ...

Description of the center of a reductive group using absolute and relative roots

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 $Z(G)$, ...

Choosing canonical representatives of Weyl group elements, some questions

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group which is quasisplit over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup defined over $k$, containing a maximal torus $T$ defined over $k$. ...
