Abstract

Let FF be a totally real field and let SS denote the geometric special fiber of a Hilbert modular variety associated to FF, at a prime unramified in FF. We show that the order of vanishing of the Hasse invariant on SS is equal to the largest integer mm such that the smallest piece of the conjugate filtration lies in the mthm^{\text{th}} piece of the Hodge filtration. This result is a direct analogue of Ogus' on families of Calabi-Yau varieties in positive characteristic. We also show that the order of vanishing at a point is the same as the codimension of the Ekedahl-Oort stratum containing it.
