Abstract

Let kk be a field with a nontrivial discrete valuation which is complete and has perfect residue field. Let GG be the group of kk-rational points of a reductive, linear algebraic group G\textbf{G} equipped with an involution θ\theta defined over k.k. Let p\mathfrak{p} denote the (1)(-1)-eigenspace in the decomposition of the Lie algebra of GG under the differential dθ.d\theta. If H\textbf{H} is a subgroup of Gθ\textbf{G}^{\theta}, the set of θ\theta-fixed points, which contains the connected component of Gθ,\textbf{G}^{\theta}, then H=H(k)H=\textbf{H}(k) acts on p\mathfrak{p}, which we treat as a symmetric space. Let rR.r \in \mathbb{R}. Under mild restrictions on G\textbf{G} and k,k, the set of nilpotent HH-orbits in p\mathfrak{p} is parametrized by equivalence classes of noticed Moy-Prasad cosets of depth rr which lie in p.\mathfrak{p}.
