We study moduli spaces of truncated local shtukas and truncated displays and describe them as concrete quotient stacks. To do this, we develop a general formalism of frames that can be applied in both cases and is also used to study prismatic displays and prismatic F-gauges.
We study extension properties for morphisms of stacks of bundles for group algebraic spaces. Applications are a short proof of the classification of bundles on the projective line for smooth geometrically reductive groups and the existence of splittings of filtered fiber functors for gerbes bound by quasi-affine smooth group schemes defined over rings.
These are notes on adic spaces. They are made available upon some requests in order to make quoting them easier.
This is a survey article about some of the work of Peter Scholze for the Jahresbericht der DMV. No originality is claimed. It is hoped that it can serve as a guideline to an exciting and increasingly large edifice of theory.
We define the tautological ring as the subring of the Chow ring of a Shimura variety generated by all Chern classes of all automorphic bundles. We explain its structure for the special fiber of a good reduction of a Shimura variety of Hodge type and show that it is generated by the cycle classes of the Ekedahl-Oort strata as a vector space. We compute these cycle classes. As applications we get the triviality of l-adic Chern classes of flat automorphic bundles in characterstic 0, an isomorphism of the tautological ring of smooth toroidal compactifications in positive characteristic with the rational cohomology ring of the compact dual of the hermitian domain given by the Shimura datum, and a new proof of Hirzebruch-Mumford proportionality for Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
We construct canonical Hasse invariants for arbitrary Shimura varieties of Hodge type for the mu-ordinary locus.
The notion of a spherical space over an arbitrary base scheme is introduced as a generalization of a spherical variety over an algebraically closed field. It is studied how the sphericity condition behaves in families. In particular it is shown that sphericity of subgroup schemes is an open and closed condition over arbitrary base schemes generalizing a result by Knop and Roehrle. Moreover spherical embeddings are classified over arbitrary fields generalizing and simplifying results by Huruguen.
We show that the zip stratification given by an arbitrary $\Ghat$-zip over a scheme is pure. We deduce purity of the level-$m$-stratification for truncated Barsotti-Tate groups and purity of the Ekedahl-Oort stratification for special fibers of good models of Shimura varieties of Hodge type. We also show that all Ekedahl-Oort strata are quasi-affine schemes and generalize several properties of the Bruhat stratification from the PEL case to the case of Shimura varieties of Hodge type.
An $F$-zip over a scheme $S$ over a finite field is a certain object of semi-linear algebra consisting of a locally free module with a descending filtration and an ascending filtration and a $\Frob_q$-twisted isomorphism between the respective graded sheaves. In this article we define and systematically investigate what might be called "$F$-zips with a $G$-structure", for an arbitrary reductive linear algebraic group $G$. These objects come in two incarnations. One incarnation is an exact linear tensor functor from the category of finite dimensional representations of $G$ to the category of $F$-zips over $S$. Locally any such functor has a type $χ$, which is a cocharacter of $G$. The other incarnation is a certain $G$-torsor analogue of the notion of $F$-zips. We prove that both incarnations define stacks that are naturally equivalent to a quotient stack of the form $[E_{G,χ}\backslash G_k]$ that was studied in an earlier paper. By the results obtained there they are therefore smooth algebraic stacks of dimension 0 over $k$. Using our earlier results we can also classify the isomorphism classes of such objects over an algebraically closed field, describe their automorphism groups, and determine which isomorphism classes can degenerate into which others. For classical groups we can deduce the corresponding results for twisted or untwisted symplectic, orthogonal, or unitary $F$-zips. The results can be applied to the algebraic de Rham cohomology of smooth projective varieties (or generalizations thereof such as smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stacks) and to truncated Barsotti-Tate groups of level 1. In addition, we hope that our systematic group theoretical approach will help to understand the analogue of the Ekedahl-Oort stratification of the special fibers of arbitrary Shimura varieties.
In this paper we study the Bruhat decomposition of not necessarily connected reductive quasi-split groups $G$ with respect to not necessarily connected parabolic subgroups. If $G$ is defined over a finite field, we construct a smooth morphism from the stack classifying $F$-zips with $G$-structure to the stack classifying the generalized Bruhat cells and study the relation between the resulting stratifications. We apply these general results to the twisted orthogonal $F$-zip given by the second De Rham cohomology of a relative surface, focussing on K3-surfaces.
The Bruhat stratification for Shimura varieties of PEL type is studied. In the Siegel case this stratification is a scheme-theoretic variant of the stratification by the a-number. We show that all Bruhat strata are smooth and determine their dimensions. We also prove that the closure of a Bruhat stratum is a union of Bruhat strata and describe which Bruhat strata are contained in the closure of a given Bruhat stratum.
We study the Ekedahl-Oort stratification for good reductions of Shimura varieties of PEL type. These generalize the Ekedahl-Oort strata defined and studied by Oort for the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties (the "Siegel case"). They are parameterized by certain elements w in the Weyl group of the reductive group of the Shimura datum. We show that for every such w the corresponding Ekedahl-Oort stratum is smooth, quasi-affine, and of dimension l(w) (and in particular non-empty). Some of these results have previously been obtained by Moonen, Vasiu, and the second author using different methods. 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. We give necessary criteria when a given Ekedahl-Oort stratum and a given Newton stratum meet. 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.
An algebraic zip datum is a tuple $\CZ := (G,P,Q,ϕ)$ consisting of a reductive group $G$ together with parabolic subgroups $P$ and $Q$ and an isogeny $ϕ\colon P/R_uP\to Q/R_uQ$. We study the action of the group $E := \{(p,q)\in P{\times}Q | ϕ(π_{P}(p)) =π_Q(q)\}$ on $G$ given by $((p,q),g)\mapsto pgq^{-1}$. We define certain smooth $E$-invariant subvarieties of $G$, show that they define a stratification of $G$. We determine their dimensions and their closures and give a description of the stabilizers of the $E$-action on $G$. We also generalize all results to non-connected groups. We show that for special choices of $\CZ$ the algebraic quotient stack $[E \backslash G]$ is isomorphic to $[G \backslash Z]$ or to $[G \backslash Z']$, where $Z$ is a $G$-variety studied by Lusztig and He in the theory of character sheaves on spherical compactifications of $G$ and where $Z'$ has been defined by Moonen and the second author in their classification of $F$-zips. In these cases the $E$-invariant subvarieties correspond to the so-called "$G$-stable pieces" of $Z$ defined by Lusztig (resp. the $G$-orbits of $Z'$).
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D_m$ be a $\BT_m$ over $k$ (i.e., an $m$-truncated Barsotti--Tate group over $k$). Let $S$ be a\break $k$-scheme and let $X$ be a $\BT_m$ over $S$. Let $S_{D_m}(X)$ be the subscheme of $S$ which describes the locus where $X$ is locally for the fppf topology isomorphic to $D_m$. If $p\ge 5$, we show that $S_{D_m}(X)$ is pure in $S$ i.e., the immersion $S_{D_m}(X) \hookrightarrow S$ is affine. For $p\in\{2,3\}$, we prove purity if $D_m$ satisfies a certain property depending only on its $p$-torsion $D_m[p]$. For $p\ge 5$, we apply the developed techniques to show that all level $m$ stratifications associated to Shimura varieties of Hodge type are pure.
In \cite{MW}, B. Moonen and the author defined a new invariant, called $F$-Zips, of certain varieties in positive characteristics. We showed that the isomorphism classes of these invariants can be interpreted as orbits of a certain variety $Z$ with an action of a reductive group $G$. In loc. cit. we gave a combinatorial description of the set of these orbits. In this manuscript we give an explicit combinatorial recipe to decide which orbits are in the closure of a given orbit. We do this by relating $Z$ to a semi-linear variant of the wonderful compactification of $G$ constructed by de Concini and Procesi. As an application we give an explicit criterion of the closure relation for Ekedahl-Oort strata in the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties.
In this note it is shown that associating to a principally polarized abelian variety its de Rham cohomology defines a faithfully flat morphism of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties in positive characteristics to the moduli space of symplectic $F$-Zips as defined in \cite{MW}.
