Kudla–Rapoport conjecture for Krämer models

In this paper, we propose a modified Kudla–Rapoport conjecture for the Krämer model of unitary Rapoport–Zink space at a ramified prime, which is a precise identity relating intersection numbers of special cycles to derivatives of Hermitian local density polynomials. We also introduce the notion of special difference cycles, which has surprisingly simple description. Combining this with induction formulas of Hermitian local density polynomials, we prove the modified Kudla–Rapoport conjecture when $n=3$. Our conjecture, combining with known results at inert and infinite primes, implies the arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula for all non-singular coefficients when the level structure of the corresponding unitary Shimura variety is defined by a self-dual lattice.

The Kottwitz conjecture for unitary PEL-type Rapoport–Zink spaces

Abstract In this paper we study the cohomology of PEL-type Rapoport–Zink spaces associated to unramified unitary similitude groups over ℚ p {\operatorname{\mathbb{Q}}_{p}} in an odd number of variables. We extend the results of Kaletha–Minguez–Shin–White and Mok to construct a local Langlands correspondence for these groups and prove an averaging formula relating the cohomology of Rapoport–Zink spaces to this correspondence. We use this formula to prove the Kottwitz conjecture for the groups we consider.

The Kudla-Rapoport conjecture at a ramified prime for 𝑈(1,1)

In this paper, we proved a local arithmetic Siegel-Weil formula for a U ( 1 , 1 ) U(1, 1) -Shimura variety at a ramified prime, a.k.a. a Kudla-Rapoport conjecture at a ramified case. The formula needs to be modified from the original Kudla-Rapoport conjecture. In the process, we also give an explicit decomposition of the special divisors of the Rapoport-Zink space of unitary type ( 1 , 1 ) (1, 1) (Krämer model). A key ingredient is to relate the Rapoport-Zink space to the Drinfeld upper plane.

COHOMOLOGY OF THE BRUHAT–TITS STRATA IN THE UNRAMIFIED UNITARY RAPOPORT–ZINK SPACE OF SIGNATURE

AbstractIn their renowned paper (2011, Inventiones Mathematicae 184, 591–627), I. Vollaard and T. Wedhorn defined a stratification on the special fiber of the unitary unramified PEL Rapoport–Zink space with signature $(1,n-1)$ . They constructed an isomorphism between the closure of a stratum, called a closed Bruhat–Tits stratum, and a Deligne–Lusztig variety which is not of classical type. In this paper, we describe the $\ell $ -adic cohomology groups over $\overline {{\mathbb Q}_{\ell }}$ of these Deligne–Lusztig varieties, where $\ell \not = p$ . The computations involve the spectral sequence associated with the Ekedahl–Oort stratification of a closed Bruhat–Tits stratum, which translates into a stratification by Coxeter varieties whose cohomology is known. Eventually, we find out that the irreducible representations of the finite unitary group which appear inside the cohomology contribute to only two different unipotent Harish-Chandra series, one of them belonging to the principal series.

Groupes analytiques rigides p-divisibles II

Let K be a p-adic field. We continue to develop the theory of rigid analytic p-divisible groups over K. For example, we explain how to recover the category of Banach–Colmez spaces from rigid analytic p-divisible groups “at finite level” without perfectoid spaces. We then establish some results about families of rigid analytic p-divisible groups. This allows us to prove a “minimality” result in the sense of birational geometry for integral models of unramified Rapoport–Zink spaces.

Special cycles on unitary Shimura curves at ramified primes

In this paper, we study special cycles on the Krämer model of \(\mathrm {U}(1,1)(F/F_0)\)-Rapoport–Zink spaces where \(F/F_0\) is a ramified quadratic extension of p-adic number fields with the assumption that the 2-dimensional hermitian space of special quasi-homomorphisms is anisotropic. We write down the decomposition of these special cycles and prove a version of Kudla–Rapoport conjecture in this case. We then apply the local results to compute the intersection numbers of special cycles on unitary Shimura curves and relate these intersection numbers to Fourier coefficients of central derivatives of certain Eisenstein series.

On the arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula for GSpin Shimura varieties

We formulate and prove a local arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula for GSpin Rapoport–Zink spaces, which is a precise identity between the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on GSpin Rapoport–Zink spaces and the derivatives of local representation densities of quadratic forms. As a first application, we prove a semi-global arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula as conjectured by Kudla, which relates the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on GSpin Shimura varieties at a place of good reduction and the central derivatives of nonsingular Fourier coefficients of incoherent Siegel Eisenstein series.

Chow groups andL-derivatives of automorphic motives for unitary groups, II.

AbstractIn this article, we improve our main results from [LL21] in two directions: First, we allow ramified places in the CM extension$E/F$at which we consider representations that are spherical with respect to a certain special maximal compact subgroup, by formulating and proving an analogue of the Kudla–Rapoport conjecture for exotic smooth Rapoport–Zink spaces. Second, we lift the restriction on the components at split places of the automorphic representation, by proving a more general vanishing result on certain cohomology of integral models of unitary Shimura varieties with Drinfeld level structures.

Kudla–Rapoport cycles and derivatives of local densities

We prove the local Kudla–Rapoport conjecture, which is a precise identity between the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on unitary Rapoport–Zink spaces and the derivatives of local representation densities of hermitian forms. As a first application, we prove the global Kudla–Rapoport conjecture, which relates the arithmetic intersection numbers of special cycles on unitary Shimura varieties and the central derivatives of the Fourier coefficients of incoherent Eisenstein series. Combining previous results of Liu and Garcia–Sankaran, we also prove cases of the arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula in any dimension.

THE COHOMOLOGY OF UNRAMIFIED RAPOPORT–ZINK SPACES OF EL-TYPE AND HARRIS’S CONJECTURE

AbstractWe study the l-adic cohomology of unramified Rapoport–Zink spaces of EL-type. These spaces were used in Harris and Taylor’s proof of the local Langlands correspondence for $\mathrm {GL_n}$ and to show local–global compatibilities of the Langlands correspondence. In this paper we consider certain morphisms $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }$ of Grothendieck groups of representations constructed from the cohomology of these spaces, as studied by Harris and Taylor, Mantovan, Fargues, Shin and others. Due to earlier work of Fargues and Shin we have a description of $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ a supercuspidal representation. In this paper, we give a conjectural formula for $\mathrm {Mant}_{b, \mu }(\rho )$ for $\rho $ an admissible representation and prove it when $\rho $ is essentially square-integrable. Our proof works for general $\rho $ conditionally on a conjecture appearing in Shin’s work. We show that our description agrees with a conjecture of Harris in the case of parabolic inductions of supercuspidal representations of a Levi subgroup.

On supersingular loci of Shimura varieties for quaternionic unitary groups of degree 2

We describe the structure of the supersingular locus of a Shimura variety for a quaternionic unitary similitude group of degree 2 over a ramified odd prime p if the level at p is given by a special maximal compact open subgroup. More precisely, we show that such a locus is purely 2-dimensional, and every irreducible component is birational to the Fermat surface. Furthermore, we have an estimation of the numbers of connected and irreducible components. To prove these assertions, we completely determine the structure of the underlying reduced scheme of the Rapoport–Zink space for the quaternionic unitary similitude group of degree 2, with a special parahoric level. We prove that such a scheme is purely 2-dimensional, and every irreducible component is isomorphic to the Fermat surface. We also determine its connected components, irreducible components and their intersection behaviors by means of the Bruhat–Tits building of \({{\,\mathrm{PGSp}\,}}_4({\mathbb {Q}}_p)\). In addition, we compute the intersection multiplicity of the GGP cycles associated to an embedding of the considering Rapoport–Zink space into the Rapoport–Zink space for the unramified \({{\,\mathrm{GU}\,}}_{2,2}\) with hyperspecial level for the minuscule case.

On Quaternionic Unitary Rapoport–Zink Spaces with Parahoric Level Structures

Abstract In this article, we describe the underlying reduced scheme of a quaternionic unitary Rapoport–Zink space with Iwahori level structure. In a previous work, we have studied the quaternionic unitary Rapoport–Zink space with a special maximal parahoric level structure. We will describe the morphism between these two Rapoport–Zink spaces and the fibers of this morphism. As an application of this result, we describe the quaternionic unitary Rapoport–Zink space with any parahoric level structure.

The smooth locus in infinite-level Rapoport–Zink spaces

Rapoport–Zink spaces are deformation spaces for $p$-divisible groups with additional structure. At infinite level, they become preperfectoid spaces. Let ${{\mathscr M}}_{\infty }$ be an infinite-level Rapoport–Zink space of EL type, and let ${{\mathscr M}}_{\infty }^{\circ }$ be one connected component of its geometric fiber. We show that ${{\mathscr M}}_{\infty }^{\circ }$ contains a dense open subset which is cohomologically smooth in the sense of Scholze. This is the locus of $p$-divisible groups which do not have any extra endomorphisms. As a corollary, we find that the cohomologically smooth locus in the infinite-level modular curve $X(p^{\infty })^{\circ }$ is exactly the locus of elliptic curves $E$ with supersingular reduction, such that the formal group of $E$ has no extra endomorphisms.

The GL4 Rapoport–Zink Space

Abstract We give a description of the $\textrm{GL}_4$ Rapoport–Zink space, including the connected components, irreducible components, intersection behavior of the irreducible components, and Ekedahl–Oort stratification. As an application of this, we also give a description of the supersingular locus of the Shimura variety for the group $\textrm{GU}(2,2)$ over a prime split in the relevant imaginary quadratic field.

On the Bruhat-Tits stratification for GU(2,2) type Rapoport-Zink space: unramified case

In this note we study the supersingular locus of the GU(2,2) Shimura variety modulo a prime which is unramified in the imaginary quadratic extension. The supersingular locus of this Shimura variety can be related to the basic Rapoport-Zink space whose special fibre is described by the Bruhat-Tits stratification. The description for this supersingular locus in the case where the prime is inert in imaginary quadratic field is already known to Howard and Pappas by exploiting the exceptional isomorphism. Our method is more direct without using the exceptional isomorphism.

Shtukas adiques, modifications et applications

In this paper, via the study of the modifications of vector bundles on the Fargues-Fontaine curve, we prove a geometric formula relating the Lubin-Tate towers with the simple basic unramified Rapoport-Zink spaces of EL type of signature $ (1, n-1), (p_1, q_1), \cdots, (p_k, q_k) $ where $ p_iq_i = 0 $. In particular, we deduce the computation of the cohomology groups of the latter.

A Tannakian Framework forG-displays and Rapoport–Zink Spaces

AbstractWe develop a Tannakian framework for group-theoretic analogs of displays, originally introduced by Bültel and Pappas, and further studied by Lau. We use this framework to define Rapoport–Zink functors associated to triples $(G,\{\mu \},[b])$, where $G$ is a flat affine group scheme over ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$ and $\mu$ is a cocharacter of $G$ defined over a finite unramified extension of ${\mathbb{Z}}_p$. We prove these functors give a quotient stack presented by Witt vector loop groups, thereby showing our definition generalizes the group-theoretic definition of Rapoport–Zink spaces given by Bültel and Pappas. As an application, we prove a special case of a conjecture of Bültel and Pappas by showing their definition coincides with that of Rapoport and Zink in the case of unramified EL-type local Shimura data.

On the Bruhat–Tits stratification of a quaternionic unitary Rapoport–Zink space

In this article we study the special fiber of the Rapoport–Zink space attached to a quaternionic unitary group. The special fiber is described using the so called Bruhat–Tits stratification and is intimately related to the Bruhat–Tits building of a split symplectic group. As an application we describe the supersingular locus of the related Shimura variety.

Uniformizing the Moduli Stacks of Global G-Shtukas

Abstract This is the 2nd in a sequence of articles, in which we explore moduli stacks of global $\mathfrak{G}$-shtukas, the function field analogs for Shimura varieties. Here $\mathfrak{G}$ is a flat affine group scheme of finite type over a smooth projective curve $C$ over a finite field. Global $\mathfrak{G}$-shtukas are generalizations of Drinfeld shtukas and analogs of abelian varieties with additional structure. We prove that the moduli stacks of global $\mathfrak{G}$-shtukas are algebraic Deligne–Mumford stacks separated and locally of finite type. They generalize various moduli spaces used by different authors to prove instances of the Langlands program over function fields. In the 1st article we explained the relation between global $\mathfrak{G}$-shtukas and local ${{\mathbb{P}}}$-shtukas, which are the function field analogs of $p$-divisible groups. Here ${{\mathbb{P}}}$ is the base change of $\mathfrak{G}$ to the complete local ring at a point of $C$. When ${{\mathbb{P}}}$ is smooth with connected reductive generic fiber we proved the existence of Rapoport–Zink spaces for local ${{\mathbb{P}}}$-shtukas. In the present article we use these spaces to (partly) uniformize the moduli stacks of global $\mathfrak{G}$-shtukas for smooth $\mathfrak{G}$ with connected fibers and reductive generic fiber. This is our main result. It has applications to the analog of the Langlands–Rapoport conjecture for our moduli stacks.

The product structure of Newton strata in the good reduction of Shimura varieties of Hodge type

We construct a generalisation of Mantovan’s almost product structure to Shimura varieties of Hodge type with hyperspecial level structure atppand deduce that the perfection of the Newton strata are proétale locally isomorphic to the perfection of the product of a central leaf and a Rapoport-Zink space. The almost product formula can be extended to obtain an analogue of Caraiani and Scholze’s generalisation of the almost product structure for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
