Let $P_0$ be a minimal $\mathbb{Q}$-parabolic subgroup of $G$, a semisimple linear algebraic group over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then $P_0 = M_0 N_0$ where $M_0$ is a Levi subgroup of $P_0$. Let $E^G_{P_0}$ be the Eisenstein series $$ E^G_{P_0}(\lambda, g) = \sum_{\gamma \in P(\mathbb{Q}) \backslash G(\mathbb{Q}) } \exp(\langle\lambda + \rho_{P_0}, H_{P_0} (\gamma g)\rangle). $$ Let $$ c(w, \lambda) = \int_{ (w' N_0(\mathbb{A})(w')^{-1} \cap N_0 (\mathbb{A})) \backslash N_0(\mathbb{A}) } \exp(\langle H_{P_0} ((w')^{-1}n) , \lambda+ \rho_{P_0}\rangle) dn. $$ I am wondering what is meant by "the singular hyperplanes of $c(w, \cdot)$"? This is in Lemma 7 (p 429) of the paper [Franke, Manin, and Tshinkel - Rational points of bounded height on Fano varieties](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF01393904), which states: The singular hyperplanes of $c(w, \cdot)$ containing $\rho_{P_0}$ are precisely the hyperplanes $$ \langle\check{\alpha}, \lambda - \rho_{P_0}\rangle = 0 $$ where $\alpha$ is a simple positive root such that $w \alpha$ is a negative root. I would like to understand the statement of this lemma. I have been going through definitions but I have not been able to do this yet. I would greatly appreciate any explanation on this.
