Central leaves in loop groups
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group over $\mathcal{O}_F$ with a Borel pair $B \supset T$, where $F = \mathbb{F}_q (\!(\epsilon)\!)$. Put $L := \widehat{F^{\mathrm{nr}}}$ with residue field $k = \overline{\mathbb{F}_q}$ and Frobenius automorphism $\sigma$. Then $G(L)$ decomposes into the disjoint union of $K\epsilon^\mu K$ where $\mu$ ranges over the dominant cocharacters in $X_*(T)$ and $K = G(\mathcal{O}_L)$. \par The set $B(G)$ of $\sigma$-conjugacy classes in $G(L)$ plays a fundamental role in arithmetic geometry. It carries a partial order $\preceq$ and is stratified into $B(G, \mu)$ consisting of the classes intersecting $K\epsilon^\mu K$. For any $[b] \in B(G, \mu)$, the corresponding Newton stratum $\mathcal{N}_{[b], \mu}$ is $[b] \cap K\epsilon^\mu K$; for every $y$ therein, the central leaf $\mathcal{C}_y$ is defined as $\{ g^{-1} y \sigma(g): g \in K\}$. It carries the structure of smooth locally-closed subscheme of the loop group $LG$ over $k$, which is closed in $\mathcal{N}_{[b],\mu}$. Although these schemes are infinite-dimensional, one can pass to quotients by congruence subgroups to define their dimensions as a finite number; see Section 2 of the paper. The computation of $\dim \mathcal{C}_y$ is given in Theorem 2.11; the dimension depends solely on the class $[y] \in B(G)$. \par The closure relation between central leaves are also explored in this paper. Lemma 1.2 asserts that if the affine Deligne-Lusztig variety $X_\mu(b)$ is zero-dimensional, then $\mathcal{N}_{[b], \mu}$ consists of a single central leaf, whose closure is thus $\overline{\mathcal{N}_{[b], \mu}}$. On the other hand, Proposition 1.3 says that when $\mu$ is minuscule, $x_b$ is a fundamental alcove of $[b]$ in $W\mu W$ where $W$ is the finite Weyl group and $[b'] \preceq [b]$, then there exsts a fundamental alcove $x_{b'}$ in $W\mu W$ such that $\mathcal{C}_{x_{b'}} \subset \overline{\mathcal{C}_{x_b}}$. For the notion of fundamental alcoves in the affine Weyl group $\widetilde{W}$ of a $\sigma$-conjugacy class $[b]$, see [\textit{S. Nie}, Math. Ann. 362, No. 1--2, 485--499 (2015; Zbl 1367.20039)]. \par Finally, an example for $\mathrm{GL}(5)$ in Theorem 1.4 (see also Section 3) shows that not all closure relations between central leaves arise in this way, even though $\mu$ is still minuscule.
