Abstract
In this paper, we describe a stratification on the reduced special fiber of the basic unramified unitary Rapoport-Zink space of signature and at arbitrary parahoric level. We prove the smoothness, irreducibility and compute the dimensions of the closed strata, which are isomorphic to the closure of certain fine Deligne-Lusztig varieties for a product of unitary and general linear groups. We also describe the incidence relations of the stratification by using Bruhat-Tits indices, which are related to the Bruhat-Tits building of an underlying -adic unitary group.
