The regularity of difference divisors

Algebraic Geometry 2024-07-30 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

For a prime number p>2p>2, we explain the construction of the difference divisors on the unitary Rapoport-Zink spaces of hyperspecial level and the GSpin Rapoport-Zink spaces of hyperspecial level associated to a minuscule cocharacter μ\mu and a basic element bb. We prove the regularity of the difference divisors, find the formally smooth locus of both the special cycles and the difference divisors, by a purely deformation-theoretic approach.
