Abstract: We complete the study of the supersingular locus in the fiber at p of a Shimura variety attached to a unitary similitude group GU(1,n−1) over QQ in the case that p is inert. This was started by the first author in cite{Vo_Uni} where complete results were obtained for n=2,3. The supersingular locus is uniformized by a formal scheme Ncal which is a moduli space of so-called unitary p-divisible groups. It depends on the choice of a unitary isocrystal Nbf. We define a stratification of Ncal indexed by vertices of the Bruhat-Tits building attached to the reductive group of automorphisms of Nbf. We show that the combinatorial behaviour of this stratification is given by the simplicial structure of the building. The closures of the strata (and in particular the reduced irreducible components of Ncal) are identified with (generalized) Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We show that the Bruhat-Tits stratification is a refinement of the Ekedahl-Oort stratification and also relate the Ekedahl-Oort strata to Deligne-Lusztig varieties. We deduce that the supersingular locus is locally a complete intersection, that its irreducible components and each Ekedahl-Oort stratum in every irreducible component is isomorphic to a Deligne-Lusztig variety, and give formulas for the number of irreducible components of every Ekedahl-Oort stratum of the supersingular locus.


From the abstract: The authors complete the study of the supersingular \({\mathcal M}^{\text{ss}}\) locus in the fiber at \(p\) of a Shimura variety attached to a unitary similitude group \(\text{GU}(1,n-1)\) over \({\mathbb Q}\) in the case that \(p\) is inert. This was started by the first author [Can. J. Math 62, No. 3, 668--720 (2010; Zbl 1205.14028)] where complete results were obtained for \(n=2,3\). From the results it is deduced that \({\mathcal M}^{\text{ss}}\) is locally a complete intersection, and that its irreducible components and each Ekedahl-Oort stratum in every irreducible component is isomorphic to a Deligne-Lusztig variety.
