Generators of the pro-p Iwahori and Galois representations

Abstract

For an odd prime [Formula: see text], we determine a minimal set of topological generators of the pro-[Formula: see text] Iwahori subgroup of a split reductive group [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text]. In the simple adjoint case and for any sufficiently large regular prime [Formula: see text], we also construct Galois extensions of [Formula: see text] with Galois group between the pro-[Formula: see text] and the standard Iwahori subgroups of [Formula: see text].
