Ekedahl-Oort and Newton strata for Shimura varieties of PEL type (Q2392803): Difference between revisions

Stratifications of Shimura varieties is known to be useful in the study of the integral models. In the classical case, i.e., the moduli space of \(g\)-dimensional principally polarized abelian varieties in positive characteristic, the two natural stratifications: the Newton and the Ekedahl-Oort stratification, have been well-studied by many authors (e.g. [\textit{B. Moonen}, Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 37, No. 2, 223--269 (2004; Zbl 1107.11028); \textit{F. Oort}, in: Moduli of curves and abelian varieties. The Dutch intercity seminar on moduli. Braunschweig: Vieweg. 47--64 (1999; Zbl 0974.14030)]). The authors generalize and study these stratifications for the good reductions of general Shimura varieties of PEL type. From the introduction: ``For a certain element \(w\) in the Weyl group of the reductive group of the Shimura Datum, We show that the corresponding Ekedahl-Oort stratum is smooth, quasi-affine, and of dimension \(l(w)\). We determine the closure relations of the strata. We give a group-theoretical definition of minimal Ekedahl-Oort strata generalizing Oort's definition in the Siegel case and study the question whether each Newton stratum contains a minimal Ekedahl-Oort stratum. As an interesting application we determine which Newton strata are non-empty. This criterion proves conjectures by Fargues and by Rapoport generalizing a conjecture by Manin for the Siegel case. We give a necessary criterion when a given Ekedahl-Oort stratum and a given Newton stratum meet.''
