We consider Shimura varieties associated to a unitary group of signature $(2,n-2)$. We give regular $p$-adic integral models for these varieties over odd primes $p$ which ramify in the imaginary quadratic field with level subgroup at $p$…

For a proper semistable curve $X$ over a DVR of mixed characteristics we reprove the "invariant cycles theorem" with trivial coefficients (see Chiarellotto, 1999) i.e. that the group of elements annihilated by the monodromy operator on the…

Let $X$ be the special fiber of a unitary Shimura variety of hyperspecial level at a prime $p$ inert in the totally real field $F$. Let $Y\to X$ be the associated flag space. For every $L$-dominant weight $\lambda$, let…

We show that special cycles generate a large part of the cohomology of locally symmetric spaces associated to orthogonal groups. We prove in particular that classes of totally geodesic submanifolds generate the cohomology groups of degree…

We survey the theory of local models of Shimura varieties. In particular, we discuss their definition and illustrate it by examples. We give an overview of the results on their geometry and combinatorics obtained in the last 15 years. We…

We prove the geometrical Satake isomorphism for a reductive group defined over F=k((t)), and split over a tamely ramified extension. As an application, we give a description of the nearby cycles on certain Shimura varieties via the…

We construct natural Green forms for special cycles in orthogonal and unitary Shimura varieties, in all codimensions, and, for compact Shimura varieties of type O(p,2) and U(p,1), we show that the resulting local archimedean height pairings…

We give a group theoretic definition of "local models" as sought after in the theory of Shimura varieties. These are projective schemes over the integers of a $p$-adic local field that are expected to model the singularities of integral…

We prove $p$-adic uniformization for Shimura curves attached to the group of unitary similitudes of certain binary skew hermitian spaces $V$ with respect to an arbitrary CM field $K$ with maximal totally real subfield $F$. For a place $v|p$…

We develop local cohomology techniques to study the finite slope part of the coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties. The local cohomology groups we consider are a generalization of overconvergent modular forms, and they are defined by…

For an abelian type Shimura variety and an odd prime $p$ of good reduction, we characterize the regularity in codimension one of Zariski closures of Ekedahl--Oort strata in terms of the Frobenius action on the root datum. We give an…

We study zero-cycles in families of rationally connected varieties. We show that for a smooth projective scheme over a henselian discrete valuation ring the restriction of relative zero cycles to the special fiber induces an isomorphism on…

We review the Newton stratification and Ekedahl-Oort stratification on the special fiber of a smooth integral model for a Shimura variety of Hodge type at a prime of good reduction. We show that the \mu-ordinary locus coincides with the…

Local models are schemes which are intended to model the \'etale-local structure of p-adic integral models of Shimura varieties. Pappas and Zhu have recently given a general group-theoretic construction of flat local models with parahoric…

We construct universal $G$-zips on good reductions of the Pappas-Rapoport splitting models for PEL-type Shimura varieties. We study the induced Ekedahl-Oort stratification, which sheds new light on the mod $p$ geometry of splitting models.…

Local models are schemes, defined in terms of linear-algebraic moduli problems, which give \'etale-local neighborhoods of integral models of certain p-adic PEL Shimura varieties defined by Rapoport and Zink. In the case of a unitary…

We continue our study of the reduction of PEL Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure at primes p at which the group that defines the Shimura variety ramifies. We describe "good" $p$-adic integral models of these Shimura varieties…

We construct a generalization of the Hasse invariant for certain unitary Shimura varieties of PEL type whose vanishing locus is the complement of the so-called \mu-ordinary locus. We show that the \mu-ordinary locus of those varieties is…

In this paper, we consider the geometric special fibers of local models of Shimura varieties and of moduli of $\bG$-Shtukas with parahoric level structure. We investigate two problems with respect to the irreducibility of local models.…

We give a construction of "integral local Shimura varieties" which are formal schemes that generalize the well-known integral models of the Drinfeld $p$-adic upper half spaces. The construction applies to all classical groups, at least for…
