Abstract

Let GG be a split connected reductive group over the ring of integers of a finite unramified extension KK of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p. Under a standard assumption on the Coxeter number of GG, we compute the cohomology algebra of G(OK)G(\mathcal{O}_K) and its Iwahori subgroups, with coefficients in the residue field of KK. Our methods involve a new presentation of some graded Lie algebras appearing in Lazard's theory of saturated pp-valued groups, and a reduction to coherent cohomology of the flag variety in positive characteristic. We also consider the case of those inner forms of GLn(K)\mathrm{GL}_n(K) that give rise to the Morava stabilizer groups in stable homotopy theory.
