The author's approach [\textit{G. Faltings}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 483, 183-196 (1997; Zbl 0871.14012)] to resolve singularities of moduli spaces of Abelian varieties relies on some special features of the level structures considered there. Here the author tries a new approach which is more widely applicable, but gives weaker results. The paper is, as the reviewer supposes, not to be regarded as definitive but is rather in the nature of a progress report; but it introduces important ideas. The singularities studied are those of the moduli space of degree \(p^g\) isogenies \(\phi: A\to B\) of \(g\)-dimensional Abelian varieties factored into a sequence of isogenies of degree \(p\). This moduli problem is representable over \({\mathbb Z}_p\). The local singularities are described, after Deligne and Pappas, in terms of the Hodge filtration on the universal sequence of Dieudonné modules. More concretely one fixes a discrete valuation ring \(V\) with uniformiser \(\pi\) and a complete flag \[ N_g=\pi N\subset N_{g-1}\subset\ldots\subset N_0=N\cong V^g \] and examines the projective scheme \(X\) over \(V\) parametrising compatible families \(F_i\) of direct summands of \(N_i\) of rank \(a\). By studying suitable arrangements of lattices the author constructs a space \(Y\) which (for \(a=2\) at least) has toroidal singularities, and is equipped with a birational morphism to \(X\). This \(Y\) is an example of what is here referred to as a minimal model (for the Deligne scheme). The arrangements fit into a universal family over a suitable embedding of \(\text{PGL}(d)^r/\text{PGL}(d)\), endowed with a logarithmic structure induced by maps to a scheme with toroidal singularities: Unfortunately these maps, which coincide with those of Lafforgue, appear not to be smooth (contrary to a hope expressed, rather tentatively, by the author in the introduction). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0958.00023].
