On the Bruhat-Tits stratification of a quaternionic unitary Rapoport-Zink space (Q2308326)

In their paper [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 33, No. 5, 695--756 (2000; Zbl 1045.11044)], \textit{S. S. Kudla} and \textit{M. Rapoport} studied Shimura variety associated to a quaternionic unitary group, which is related to Siegel and orthogonal type Shimura varieties. In particular, they studied the basic locus of this Shimura variety at a prime \(p\) where the quaternion algebra is split. In this case the Shimura variety has good reduction and the quaternionic unitary group at \(p\) agrees with the symplectic group of degree \(4\). Therefore the supersingular locus can be studied essentially in the same way as in the case of a Siegel threefold of hyperspecial level. Moreover, they related the description of this supersingular locus to the Bruhat-Tits building of an inner form of the symplectic group. In the present paper, the author treats the case where the quaternion algebra is ramified at \(p\) and describes the supersingular locus with its relation to Bruhat-Tits building. In this case the Shimura variety has bad reduction at \(p\). His results can be fitted in the framework of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties.
