Maximal Compact and Hyperspecial Subgroup
Compact open subgroups ; hyperspecial at good places
Let be a nonarchimedean local field with ring of integers .
A maximal compact subgroup of is a compact open subgroup maximal under inclusion.
A subgroup is hyperspecial if extends to a reductive group scheme and .
Remarks
Key property (for the letter):
- For hyperspecial , the spherical Hecke algebra has the clean Satake description; the letter's plays this role for almost all .
Examples
- is hyperspecial.
