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…

We use the idea of splitting models to define and study a semi-stable model for unitary Shimura varieties of signature $(n-1,1)$ with maximal parahoric level structure at ramified primes. In this case, the ``naive'' splitting model defined…

Two approaches to the construction of integral models of local Shimura-varieties are compared: that of B\"ultel-Pappas using $\mathcal{G}$-$\mu$-displays and that of Scholze using local mixed-characteristic shtuka. As an application, the…

We study the supersingular locus of a reduction at an inert prime of the Shimura variety attached to $\mathrm{GU}(2,n-2)$. More concretely, we realize irreducible components of the supersingular locus as closed subschemes of flag schemes…

In this paper, we explore three combinatorial descriptions of semistable types of hyperelliptic curves over local fields: dual graphs, their quotient trees by the hyperelliptic involution, and configurations of the roots of the defining…

We prove the Mumford-Tate conjecture for those abelian varieties over number fields, whose simple factors of their adjoint Mumford-Tate groups have over $\dbR$ certain (products of) non-compact factors. In particular, we prove this…

We study Shimura curves of PEL type in the space of polarised abelian varieties $A^{\delta}_p$ generically contained in the ramified Prym locus. We generalise to ramified double covers, the construction done in [10] in the unramified case…

These are the notes of a course on Shimura varieties that I gave at the 2022 IHES summer school on the Langlands program. Lecture 1 gives an introduction to Shimura varieties over the complex numbers (defined here as a special type of…

This paper provides a rigorous study of tropicalizations of locally symmetric varieties. We give applications beyond tropical geometry, to the cohomology of moduli spaces as well as to the cohomology of arithmetic groups. We study two cases…

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…

In this paper we study the reduction of PEL-Shimura varieties associated to unitary groups of signature (n-1,1) in the inert and unramified case. We describe the Newton polygon and the Ekedahl-Oort stratification. We further study the…

We prove the Kudla--Rapoport conjecture for Kr\"amer models of unitary Rapoport--Zink spaces at ramified places. It is a precise identity between arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on Kr\"amer models and modified derived…

We construct local models for wildly ramified unitary similitude groups of odd dimension $n\geq 3$ with special parahoric level structure and signature $(n-1,1)$. We first give a lattice-theoretic description for parahoric subgroups using…

We investigate the bad reduction of certain Shimura varieties (associated to the symplectic group). More precisely, we look at a model of the Shimura variety at a prime p, with parahoric level structure at p. We show that this model is…
