Simple groups over local fields (Q1712987)

Here are some of the assumptions that the author makes in his report: \(k\) is a field, \(K\) a Galois extension, \(\Gamma\) the Galois group, \(v\) a discrete valuation of \(K\) invariant under \(\Gamma\), \(\bar{k}\) and \(\bar{K}\) the residue fields of \(k\) and \(K\) with respect to \(v\), \(G\) a simply connected simple group defined over \(k\) and split over \(K\), \(O\) the ring of integers in \(K\), \(\Delta\) the set of vertices of the extended Dynkin diagram of \(G\) (i.e. the set consisting of the simple roots and the opposite of the maximal root). The field \(\bar{K}\) is assumed to be perfect, although this may not be necessary. The author states a number of theorems on \(k\)-parahoric subgroups. He advises: ``the theorems presented here have a certain degree of uncertainty.'' He refers the reader to a forthcoming paper by F. Bruhat and the author. Several papers by these two authors containing information on parahoric subgroups have appeared. In addition, information on parahoric subgroups is available on the web. Editorial remark: This article was originally published as mimeographed notes from the Summer Institute on Algebraic Groups, Boulder, July 1965.
