This is a survey article on moduli of affine schemes equipped with an action of a reductive group. The emphasis is on examples and applications to the classification of spherical varieties.

We obtain new results on the geometry of Hilbert modular varieties in positive characteristic and morphisms between them. Using these results and methods of rigid geometry, we develop a theory of canonical subgroups for abelian varieties…

Local models are certain 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. When the group defining…

The integral model of a $\mathrm{GU}(n-1,1)$ Shimura variety carries a universal abelian scheme over it, and the dual top exterior power of its Lie algebra carries a natural hermitian metric. We express the arithmetic volume of this…

Given our set-up of a system of curves and maps between them satisfying certain assumptions, we prove a classicality criterion for overconvergent sections of line bundles over these curves. As a result, we prove such criteria for…

We give several new moduli interpretations of the fibers of certain Shimura varieties over several prime numbers. As a consequence (of our theorem 9.1) one obtains that for every prescribed odd prime characteristic $p$ every bounded…

The ultimate goal of the paper is to construct a novel norm-compatible family of cycles appearing in the context of Gross--Gan--Prasad cycles arising from Shimura varieties attached to $U(n-1,1)\hookrightarrow U(n,1) \times U(n-1,1)$ for…

We show that, with some technical conditions, an abelian category can be embedded into the category of bimodules over a ring. The case of semisimple rigid monoidal categories is studied in more detail.

Let X be a Mumford-Tate variety, i.e., a quotient of a Mumford-Tate domain D by a discrete subgroup. Mumford-Tate varieties are generalizations of Shimura varieties. We define the notion of a special subvariety Y in X (of Shimura type), and…

It is shown that to every Q-linear cycle \bar\alpha modulo numerical equivalence on an abelian variety A there is canonically associated a Q-linear cycle \alpha modulo rational equivalence on A lying above \bar\alpha. The assignment…

In this note we show that any basic abelian variety with additional structures over an arbitrary algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is isogenous to another one defined over a finite field. We also show that the category of…

Firstly, we give a partial solution to the isomorphism problem for uniserial modules of finite length with the help of the morphisms between these modules over an arbitrary ring. Later, under suitable assumptions on the lattice of the…

We give a proof of the cyclicity conjecture of Akasaka-Kashiwara, for simply laced types, via quiver varieties. We get also an algebraic characterization of the standard modules.

In this paper, we compare two cohomology groups associated to Shimura varieties of PEL type, which are not proper over the base. One is the compactly supported l-adic cohomology, and the other is the nearby cycle cohomology, namely, the…

We establish a close connection between intersection multiplicities of special cycles on arithmetic models of the Shimura variety for GU(1,2) and Fourier coefficients of derivatives of certain incoherent Eisenstein series, confirming a…

Let $G$ be an abelian group of order $n$ and let $R$ be a commutative ring which admits a homomorphism ${\Bbb Z}[\zeta_{n}]\ra R$, where $\zeta_{n}$ is a (complex) primitive $n$-th root of unity. Given a finite $R[G\e]$-module $M$, we…

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.…

Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants $\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B}$ and $\mathfrak{C}$ give the…

A general framework for the reduction of the equations defining classes of spherical varieties to (maybe infinite dimensional) grassmannians is proposed. This is applied to model varieties of type A, B and C; in particular a standard…

We show that conjugation by an automorphism of the complex numbers (as an abstract field) may change the topological fundamental group of a locally symmetric variety over C. As a consequence, we obtain a large class of algebraic varieties…
