Transitivity of the $\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR}$-loop group action on Schubert cells
Sean Howe
TL;DR
The paper proves that for any connected linear algebraic group $G$ over a $p$-adic field $L$, the action of $G(\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR})$ on the affine Schubert cell $\mathrm{Gr}_{[\mu]}$ inside the $\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR}$-affine Grassmannian is transitive in the étale topology, not only in the reductive case but for general $G$. The authors reduce the non-reductive case to the reductive one via Levi decomposition and analyze the corresponding quotients to show that the étale quotient $G(\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR})/\mathrm{Stab}_{G(\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR})}(\ast_\mu)$ reproduces $\mathrm{Gr}_{[\mu]}$. This establishes that $\mathrm{Gr}_{[\mu]}$ is étale-locally a homogeneous space for $G(\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR})$, aligning with the broader geometric framework for the local Langlands program. The results connect with inscribed $\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR}$-Grassmannians, tangent-bundle constructions, and $p$-adic Hodge-theoretic period domains, highlighting the structural role of $\mathrm{Gr}_{[\mu]}$ in non-reductive settings.
Abstract
For $G$ a connected linear algebraic group over a $p$-adic field, we show that the action of $G(\mathbb{B}^+_\mathrm{dR})$ on Schubert cells in the $\mathbb{B}_\mathrm{dR}^+$-affine Grassmannian is transitive in the étale topology on affinoid perfectoids, generalizing a result in the reductive case due to Fargues and Scholze.
