We prove the test function conjecture of Kottwitz and the first named author for local models of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure, and their analogues in equal characteristic.

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 elaborate the theory of the stable Bernstein center of a $p$-adic group $G$, and apply it to state a general conjecture on test functions for Shimura varieties due to the author and R. Kottwitz. This conjecture provides a framework by…

We extend the group theoretic construction of local models of Pappas and Zhu to the case of groups obtained by Weil restriction along a possibly wildly ramified extension. This completes the construction of local models for all reductive…

This paper proves that the nearby cycles complexes on a certain family of PEL local models are central with respect to the convolution product of sheaves on the corresponding affine flag varieties. As a corollary, the semisimple trace…

We study the Scholze test functions for bad reduction of simple Shimura varieties at a prime where the underlying local group is any inner form of a product of Weil restrictions of general linear groups. Using global methods, we prove that…

The Test Function Conjecture due to Haines and Kottwitz predicts that the geometric Bernstein center is a source of test functions required by the Langlands-Kottwitz method for expressing the local semisimple Hasse-Weil zeta function of a…

Kottwitz conjectured a formula for the (semi-simple) trace of Frobenius on the nearby cycles for the local model of a Shimura variety with Iwahori-type level structure. In this paper, we prove his conjecture in the linear and symplectic…

We prove the Scholze--Weinstein conjecture on the existence and uniqueness of local models for local Shimura varieties, as well as the test function conjecture of Haines--Kottwitz in this framework. To this end, we establish a…

For an odd prime p, we construct integral models over p for Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure, attached to Shimura data (G,X) of abelian type, such that G splits over a tamely ramified extension of Q_p. The local structure of…

This is a report on results and methods in the reduction modulo p of Shimura varieties with parahoric level structure. In the first part, the local theory, we explain the concepts of parahoric subgroups, of the mu-admissible and…

In this article, we prove results about the cohomology of compact unitary group Shimura varieties at split places. In nonendoscopic cases, we are able to give a full description of the cohomology, after restricting to integral Hecke…

Kottwitz's conjecture describes the contribution of a supercuspidal represention to the cohomology of a local Shimura variety in terms of the local Langlands correspondence. A natural extension of this conjecture concerns Scholze's more…

For any Shimura variety of Hodge type with hyperspecial level at a prime $p$ and automorphic lisse sheaf on it, we prove a formula, conjectured by Kottwitz \cite{Kottwitz90}, for the Lefschetz numbers of Frobenius-twisted Hecke…

We propose a conjectural theory of $p$-integral models of Shimura varieties with level structure at $p$ given by a class of normal subgroups of parahoric subgroups with abelian quotient group. The role of the theory of local models is…

In their study of local models of Shimura varieties for totally ramified extensions, Pappas and Rapoport posed a conjecture about the reducedness of a certain subscheme of $n \times n$ matrices. We give a positive answer to their conjecture…

This survey is about old and new results about the modular representation theory of finite reductive groups with a strong emphasis on local methods. This includes subpairs, Brauer's Main Theorems, fusion, Rickard equivalences. In the…

We show that much of local class theory can be deduced from the Dieudonn\'e-Manin structure theory for $F$-isocrystals on an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. As a consequence we get a new proof of a formula of Dwork for…

The special fiber of the local model of a PEL Shimura variety with Iwahori-type level structure admits a cellular decomposition. The set of strata is in a natural way a finite subset of the affine Weyl group determined by the Shimura data.…

We prove a fixed point theorem for the action of certain local monodromy groups on \'etale covers and use it to deduce lower bounds in essential dimension. In particular, we give more geometric proofs of many (but not all) of the results of…
