Parabolic reduction for volumes and semistable masses
Let be a split reductive group over a number field , let be a fixed Borel subgroup, and let be a standard parabolic subgroup with Levi factor . If is its decomposition into simple factors, define
and
Here and denote the corresponding invariants for , and denotes the sign of . Parabolic reduction. For every standard parabolic subgroup of , there exist constants and such that
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.
