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…

Let $S$ be a Shimura variety with reflex field $E$. We prove that the action of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/E)$ on $S$ maps special points to special points and special subvarieties to special subvarieties. Furthermore, the…

We prove the Kudla-Rapoport conjecture for unramified unitary groups with maximal parahoric level structure. Our approach differs from the local proof given in Li-W.Zhang. We reduce the conjecture to a global intersection problem using…

In this article, we prove that a version of Tate conjectures for certain Deligne-Lusztig varieties implies the Kudla-Rapoport conjecture for unitary Shimura varieties with maximal parahoric level at unramified primes. Furthermore, we prove…

Let $S$ be a Shimura variety and let $h$ be a Weil height function on $S$. We conjecture that the heights of special points in $S$ are discriminant negligible. Assuming this conjecture to be true, we prove that the sizes of the Galois…

We prove that central leaves, Igusa varieties, Newton strata, Kottwitz-Rapoport Strata, Ekedahl-Kottwitz-Oort-Rapoport strata on the special fiber of a Kisin-Pappas integral model of a Hodge-type Shimura variety with connected parahoric…

We give a generalization of the classical Bombieri--Schneider--Lang criterion in transcendence theory. We give a local notion of $LG$--germ, which is similar to the notion of $E$-- function and Gevrey condition, and which generalize (and…

We prove the Pappas-Rapoport conjecture on the existence of canonical integral models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure in the case where the Shimura variety is defined by a torus. As an important ingredient, we show,…

For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…

In this paper we extend a conjecture of Ash and Sinnott relating niveau one Galois representation to the mod p cohomology of congruence subgroups of SL(n,Z) to include Galois representations of higher niveau. We then present computational…

We prove the existence of weak integral canonical models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type in arbitrary unramified mixed characteristic $(0,p)$. As a first application we solve a conjecture of Langlands for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.…

We determine the Galois representations inside the $l$-adic cohomology of some unitary Shimura varieties at split places where they admit uniformization by finite products of Drinfeld upper half spaces. Our main results confirm…

We prove new modularity lifting theorems for p-adic Galois representations in situations where the methods of Wiles and Taylor--Wiles do not apply. Previous generalizations of these methods have been restricted to situations where the…

In this article we prove an arithmetic level raising theorem for the symplectic group of degree four in the ramified case. This result is a key step towards the Beilinson-Bloch-Kato conjecture for certain Rankin-Selberg motives associated…

In a previous paper [CG], we showed how one could generalize Taylor-Wiles modularity lifting theorems [Wil95, TW95] to contexts beyond those in which the automorphic forms in question arose from the middle degree cohomology of Shimura…

We compute the level groups associated with mixed Shimura varieties that appear at the boundaries of compactifications of Shimura varieties and show that the boundaries of minimal compactifications of Pappas-Rapoport integral models are…

Given a field K, one may ask which finite groups are Galois groups of field extensions L/K such that L is a maximal subfield of a division algebra with center K. This connection between inverse Galois theory and division algebras was first…

We prove G\"ortz's combinatorial conjecture \cite{Go01} on dual shellability of admissible sets in Iwahori-Weyl groups, proving that the augmented admissible set $\widehat{\mathrm{Adm}}(\mu)$ is dual shellable for any dominant coweight…

For a Shimura variety of Hodge type with hyperspecial level at a prime $p$, the Newton stratification on its special fiber at $p$ is a stratification defined in terms of the isomorphism class of the Dieudonne module of parameterized abelian…

In this paper, we prove a lower bound for the Galois orbits of a pure special subvariety in a general mixed Shimura variety. For special subvarieties that are not pure, we propose the notion of test invariants as a substitute for the lower…
