On the saturability of $p$-adic Lie groups

Source 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 $K/\mathbb Q_p$, 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 $G_{x,\frac{1}{p-1}+}$ 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 $\mathbb Z_p$ and the polynomial ring $\mathbb F_p[\varepsilon]$ associated to the saturated group $G_{x,\frac{1}{p-1}+}$, which allows us to reinterpret the Moy-Prasad isomorphism as an isomorphism of Lie algebras over $\mathbb F_p[\varepsilon]$.
