Can any pair of associate parabolics be related by opposite parabolics?

Let $G$ be a reductive group, say over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We have the following definitions for a pair of parabolic subgroups $P_1$ and $P_2$ with Levi quotients $...

What's the point of a Whittaker model?

Let $G$ be a quasi-split connected reductive group over a $p$-adic field $F$. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup which is defined over $F$, with $B = TU$, $T$ defined over $F$. The choice of $T$ and $B$ ...

What is the archimedean Hecke algebra?

Let $\mathbf G$ be a connected, reductive group over $\mathbb Q$. For each nonarchimedean place $v$, let $K_v$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $\mathbf G(\mathbb Q_v)$. The space $\mathscr H(\mathbf ...

Definition of Admissible Representation

Let $G$ be a connected, reductive group over a number field $k$. Let $v$ be a place of $k$. If $v$ is finite, an admissible representation of $G(k_v)$ is defined to be an abstract representation of $...

Dimension of space of K-fixed vectors

If $G$ is an unramified group over an $p$-adic field $F$, the Satake isomorphism identifies the spherical Hecke algebra with respect to a special maximal compact subgroup $K$. In particular, (1) $H(G(...
