Abstract

In this paper, we describe a stratification on the reduced special fiber of the basic unramified unitary Rapoport-Zink space of signature (1,n1)(1,n-1) 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 pp-adic unitary group.

Forgot to modify the Introduction after fixing Theorem 4.15 in the v2. This v3 simply fixes the Introduction accordingly. 75 pages
