Abstract

Let GG be a connected, reductive group over a non-archimedean local field FF. Let F˘\breve F be the completion of the maximal unramified extension of FF contained in a separable closure FsF_s. In this article, we construct a Tits group of the affine Weyl group of G(F)G(F) when the derived subgroup of GF˘G_{\breve F} does not contain a simple factor of unitary type. If GG is a quasi-split ramified odd unitary group, we show that there always exist representatives in G(F)G(F) of affine simple reflections that satisfy Coxeter relations (which is weaker than asking for the existence of a Tits group). If G=U2r,r3,G = U_{2r}, r \geq 3, is a quasi-split ramified even unitary group, we show that there don't even exist representatives in G(F)G(F) of the affine simple reflections that satisfy Coxeter relations.
