Ekedahl-Oort and Newton strata for Shimura varieties of PEL type (Q2392803)

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.''
