Parabolic reduction for volumes and semistable masses

From papers

Let GG be a split reductive group over a number field FF, let B/FB/F be a fixed Borel subgroup, and let P=UMP=UM be a standard parabolic subgroup with Levi factor MM. If M=iMiM=\prod_i M_i is its decomposition into simple factors, define

νP:=iVol(KMiZMi1(A)\Mi1(A)/Mi(F)),\nu_P:=\prod_i\operatorname{Vol}\Big(\mathbb K_{M_i}Z_{M_i^1(\mathbb A)}\backslash M_i^1(\mathbb A)\big/M_i(F)\Big),

and

μP:=iVol(KMiZMi1(A)\Mi1(A)ss/Mi(F)).\mu_P:=\prod_i\operatorname{Vol}\Big(\mathbb K_{M_i}Z_{M_i^1(\mathbb A)}\backslash M_i^1(\mathbb A)^{\mathrm{ss}}\big/M_i(F)\Big).

Here νG\nu_G and μG\mu_G denote the corresponding invariants for GG, and sgn(P)\operatorname{sgn}(P) denotes the sign of PP. Parabolic reduction. For every standard parabolic subgroup PP of GG, there exist constants cPQc_P\in\mathbb Q and ePQ>0e_P\in\mathbb Q_{>0} such that

νG=PcPνP,μG=Psgn(P)ePνP.\nu_G=\sum_P c_P\cdot\nu_P,\qquad \mu_G=\sum_P\operatorname{sgn}(P)e_P\cdot\nu_P.

The assertion proposes that the volume and semistable mass of a reductive group decompose into contributions from its standard parabolic subgroups. The source gives no resolution evidence.
