Appendix: On parahoric subgroups

AbstractWe give the proofs of some simple facts on parahoric subgroups and on Iwahori Weyl groups used in [T. Haines, The base change fundamental lemma for central elements in parahoric Hecke algebras, preprint, 2008; G. Pappas, M. Rapoport, Twisted loop groups and their affine flag varieties, Adv. Math. 219 (2008) 118–198; M. Rapoport, A guide to the reduction modulo p of Shimura varieties, Astérisque 298 (2005) 271–318]
