Abstract

Let GH be a symmetric space over a non-archimedean local field F: G is (the group of F-points of) a reductive group over F and H ⊂ G is the subgroup of (F-rational) points in G fixed by an involution.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A matrix is called monomial if each row or column exactly contains a single non-zero coefficient.

  2. 2.

    In fact easy results or routine details will be left to the reader.

  3. 3.

    The distance on the tree is normalized so that the length of an edge is 1.

  4. 4.

    For more details, cf. [Ca, §1].

  5. 5.

    Cf. [Ca, §3] for more details.

  6. 6.

    Also see [SS] for another construction of this involution.

  7. 7.

    The reader will forgive me to use the same symbol d to denote the dimension of X H and the coboundary map.

  8. 8.

    An \({\mathcal H}(H)\)-module M is non degenerate if \({\mathcal H}(H)\cdot M =M\).

  9. 9.

    The proof of this theorem is due to François Courtès; see the appendix of [BC].
