On the saturability of p-adic Lie groups
Abstract
Lazard theory is becoming increasingly important in p-adic representation theory, especially when studying mod p representations. For G a connected reductive group defined over a finite extension K/ℚp, a question going back to Lazard is when a pro-p Iwahori subgroup of G(K) admits a saturated p-valuation. In this article, we establish a deep connection to Moy-Prasad theory, and show that the Moy-Prasad filtration defines a saturated p-valuation on Gx,1/(p−1)+ for any point x in the semisimple Bruhat-Tits building of G, given a mild assumption on the maximal torus of G and that p>2. We also compute Lazard Lie algebras defined over ℤp and the polynomial ring 𝔽p[ε] associated to the saturated group Gx,1/(p−1)+, which allows us to reinterpret the Moy-Prasad isomorphism as an isomorphism of Lie algebras over 𝔽p[ε].
